What is Adapty?
Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.
What is Spendflo?
Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.
Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.

Adapty lets one paywall flow personalise itself with the app's own user data
◆ Current state
Adapty has finished moving customers onto one builder: the old Paywall and Onboarding Builders were deprecated on October 1 and Paywalls now live inside Flows & Paywalls. Since then it added a yearly plan sold as 12 monthly payments on native iOS, and the November 9 roundup brings custom tags, where the app passes a value through the SDK and any text in a flow can display it, alongside flow funnels and screen animations.
◆ Where it's heading
With the migration done, the work has moved to making each flow do more: personalised copy, funnel analytics on flows, and animation. Adapty is turning the paywall builder into a general onboarding and conversion surface, with agent-built flows from August and pricing experiments like the 12-payment yearly plan layered on top.
◆ Prediction
Expect more SDK-fed personalisation and per-screen analytics inside flows, and the 12-payment yearly plan to extend beyond native iOS; the entries give no timeline for either.
Spendflo
3.8FINANCE
Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.
◆ Current state
Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.
◆ Where it's heading
Spendflo is narrowing into a workflow-first, AI-assisted procurement platform and deliberately exiting the SaaS-management and shadow-IT discovery space it once occupied. The redesign and the deprecation are two sides of the same decision: concentrate the product on orchestrating the procurement lifecycle — intake, approval, vendor evaluation — and let autonomous agents do more of the work inside it. Integration depth with ERP and CLM systems keeps it embedded in finance operations.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper AI Agent automation across the procurement lifecycle and continued ERP and CLM integration (Coupa, NetSuite, LinkSquares), with the agent layer becoming the product's central pitch.
