Tropic vs. Zip

Only Tropic offers unbiased, self-serve SaaS price benchmarks that gives you a true comparison of your price compared to your peer set. With price benchmarks for over 300 suppliers, we can help you maximize the ROI of your SaaS purchases.

‍

Zip, on the other hand, doesn’t provide any self-serve price benchmarks. While you can manage your purchase using Zip, they won't help you to know if you're getting the best outcomes during your SaaS negotiations.

Negotiating with suppliers can be frustrating, especially with minimal data. Most organizations don’t have the time or insider-knowledge to build custom strategies for every negotiation, which leads to wasted time on low-impact negotiations and less bandwidth to focus on more impactful negotiations.

‍

Only Tropic provides supplier-specific negotiation playbooks that give you the strategies and tactics that work on your key suppliers. Our playbooks make you more effective and efficient when you negotiate, so you can drive more savings and better outcomes.

Tropic surfaces alternative suppliers for every purchase and renewal, along with comparisons of key supplier insights. With Tropic, it’s easy and efficient to make more strategic choices about which vendors your company uses, without having to go seek out options or crowdsource opinions.

‍

While Zip might surface that a purchase is duplicative if your company is already using a comparable tool, they won’t proactively provide you with alternative supplier choices during new purchases or renewals. Tropic does. With Tropic you’re fully aware of your options, and empowered to use them as leverage during a negotiation.

‍

In just 4 weeks, you can implement Tropic to transform your procurement process with reliable software, data, and services before your next negotiation.
