Comparison FAQ
How is buying Satellite different from buying an enterprise platform?
Enterprise platforms come with sales teams, implementation consultants, and procurement reviews. Satellite is priced on a single call, scoped to your stack — and you can explore the full product on a free trial before that call ever happens.
What does Satellite focus on?
The core SaaS management capabilities that finance teams actually need: application tracking, cost insights, contract management, renewal alerts, and integrations with Google Workspace and Zoom — with no per-seat fees.
Can Satellite scale as my company grows?
Yes. There are no limits on applications, contracts, or users. If you outgrow Satellite's capabilities, you can export all your data via CSV for easy migration.
Do I need to talk to sales to get started?
No. Sign up, start your free trial, and explore the product immediately. Demo data is pre-loaded so you can see all features in action. When you're ready to continue, you book one pricing call.
What does Satellite cost?
Satellite is $1,000–$2,000/month, scoped to your stack and quoted on a single call. No per-seat fees, no hidden costs, and a 14-day free trial to start.
What happens to my data if a vendor shuts down?
It's a fair question — in August 2026, one venture-backed SaaS management platform shut down with four days' notice and destroyed customer data. Satellite is built read-only from systems you already own (your accounting data, expense exports, admin consoles), so it is never the only copy of your records, and everything is exportable self-serve in standard CSV formats at any time. Test the export during your trial — any tool of record should pass that check.
