What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
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.
Kill Bill vs Spendflo: editorial side-by-side
Kill Bill
5.0FINANCE
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
◆ Current state
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible feature work is per-tenant invoice presentation, with branding and localisation becoming configurable rather than hard-coded. The 0.25 line ships regularly but its notes are bare Maven tags, so its direction can't be read from the entries.
◆ Prediction
More invoice-presentation and localisation changes on 0.24.x are likely; what 0.25.x is building toward isn't visible in the entries.
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.
