Clarus CFO
What it is
Clarus CFO is cloud software for managing software spend, contracts, renewals and purchasing records. It tracks usage and value, monitors renewal dates from contracts and recurring charges, and reconciles purchase orders, invoices and contracts to flag price drift, vendor mismatches and missing contracts. Renewal recommendations can include canceling, renegotiating or downgrading, with alerts set for 30, 60 or 90 days per vendor. Negotiation drafts can cite usage changes and termination clauses, but require approver review before an email is sent. Accounting and identity data can be connected, card statements linked and CSV files uploaded; Clarus CLM contract data is optional. Policy text can be converted into executable approval, retention and documentation rules tied to evidence. Connected integrations are read-only, and actions such as canceling a subscription need explicit approval. Clarus CFO is described as in Early Access, with partner onboarding and waitlist invitations as tiers open. Performance has limits of 25 tracked vendors and five negotiation drafts monthly. Flat is listed at $79 a year, billed at $79/vendor/mo annually, with a minimum of 10 vendors tracked.
