HN discussionEven moreso than just a one person ranking, being able to have a team sign in, and different divisions and functional groups rank and prioritize their needs, and having it roll up into an organizational score. That is a place where you could monetize. https://www.scoutrfp.com/ and https://www.loopio.com/ play in this space. There's also the side of vendor management once you do make a selection. Even a service that…

HN discussionOk so specifically, using your range of "Asana to higher", the "business" tier of Asana [O] is $24.99 per user per month, and something like Vendr [1] (and I apologize if this is not the correct compqrison) is $78k / year for the middle tier. Let's assume 3 users for Asana, that's $900 per year vs ~85x that for the competitor. That's probably missing some nuance but there's a ton of vagueness / purposeful opacity in…

HN discussionNever saw that site before but gee am I getting a good deal on Photoshop https://www.vendr.com/marketplace/adobe?product=b853f05c-e15... My first take is that this site could be A.I. slop. What do I care if the median Salesforce customer is spending $50k a year? I've had my own company and bought basic seats for me and my salesguy; I've built solutions for Salesforce orgs that have 9000 seats at a higher tier. It's…
