Executive Summary

Many finance, procurement, and vendor managers suffer surprise SaaS price changes—hidden increases, tier reshuffles, and unexpected add-on fees—that erode budgets and create month-to-month spend volatility. Decentralized purchasing and the proliferation of subscriptions make it impractical to catch these changes manually across dozens or hundreds of vendors. You could build a daily-monitoring product that scrapes vendor public pages and authenticated customer portals, normalizes SKU/plan definitions, diffs price histories, and issues threshold-based alerts, weekly reports, and remediation workflows. Tight integrations with procurement suites and SSO/connectors for vendor portals would let teams act quickly and tie changes to approvals or cost centers. The addressable market looks attractive: roughly 1.6M companies buying multiple SaaS tools implies a $9.6B opportunity at a $6K ACV for vendor/procurement monitoring tooling, and current market/revenue indicators (88/86) show strong demand right now. You can stand out by combining robust scraping with authenticated connectors, ML-powered change classification to cut false positives, and prebuilt integrations with procurement systems to deliver measurable cost avoidance and audit trails. The main challenges are anti-scraping defenses, portal access/legal constraints, and ongoing maintenance for site changes—manageable trade-offs if you focus early on high-value verticals, partnership agreements, and a per-vendor monitoring pricing model.
