We shipped cost management. Here's the honest reason why.

Quick honest note up front, because I know how this looks.

YeshID is identity infrastructure. We help you understand and control who has access to what across humans, AI agents, OAuth grants, service accounts, and SaaS applications. We are not trying to become a vendor management company. Not Vendr, not Zylo, not your next procurement tool.

But here's the thing we couldn't ignore.

To do our actual job, we already know who has access to what. To everything. Which means we were already sitting on the data that shows what that access costs and where the money is being wasted. We were looking at it every day. And it started to feel dishonest to know exactly where the leaks were and not show you.

So we built a way to see it.

This is V1. We're shipping it early on purpose, because I'd rather your feedback shape where this goes than have us guess in a room by ourselves. It's useful today. It's going to get better fast.

What you can do right now

See all your SaaS spend in one place. Total annual spend, upcoming renewals, and where the money is actually going, at a glance. No spreadsheet archaeology.

Track your AI spend, not just your SaaS. Connect OpenAI and Anthropic, flip on billing in Integrations, and pull real usage costs into the same view. Your AI agent spend is the fastest-growing line item nobody's watching. That's not a coincidence. It's the same blind spot as the rest of non-human identity, showing up on the invoice.

Find wasted spend. Spot the apps where you're paying for more seats than people actually use, so you can right-size before the next renewal instead of finding out after.

Stop getting surprised by renewals. Track every upcoming contract, review it, and keep an audit trail of every decision. When someone asks in six months why you renewed, the answer is right there.

Trust your numbers. Upload an invoice and we'll pull the details, or connect a supported provider to sync real spend automatically. Every figure shows where it came from. No vendor-inflated "you have 1,000 shadow apps" theater. Just what's real.

And then the two that are really security wearing a finance hat.

Catch costly orphaned accounts. Surface accounts you're still paying for that aren't tied to an active employee. That's a money leak and an open door, and most of the time it's the exact same account. Close both at once.

Surface shadow apps. Find the tools your team is already using that you aren't tracking, and bring them under management in a click.

Why this is actually a security story

Here's the part that matters, and the reason we were the ones who could build this and a procurement tool couldn't.

The reason we can show you wasted spend is the same reason we can show you risk.

An orphaned account you're still paying for is an offboarding gap. A shadow app you didn't know about is access you aren't governing. A license assigned to someone who left in March is both a wasted seat and a credential nobody is watching.

The waste and the exposure live in the same place. They live in the gap between what you think you have and what is actually true. We've always said identity risk lives in that gap. Turns out your budget bleeds out of the exact same one.

Effective access is the new system of record. For your security, and now for your spend.

A vendor management platform can tell you what you signed up for. It can't tell you whether the access behind that contract is real, in use, or quietly dangerous. We can, because understanding real access is the thing we already do.

Built for the right people

Finance and ops get the full view. Total spend, renewals, waste, all of it.

You can assign Business Owners to specific apps, so each owner only sees the spend they're responsible for. The person who owns the design tools doesn't need to see the whole company's bill.

And there's a dedicated Cost Management role under Manage > Settings > Roles. So you can give finance visibility into spend without opening up the rest of your identity data. Least privilege, even for the budget conversation. We weren't going to ship a cost feature that made you loosen your access model to use it. That would be a little on the nose.

Get started

Cost Management is available now. Open the Cost tab to get started.

Already connected to OpenAI or Anthropic? Turn on billing in cost management to see your AI usage costs alongside everything else.

We built this fast and we shipped it a little rough, on purpose. It's V1 for a reason. So tell us what's missing. That feedback is the whole point of putting it out now instead of polishing it for another quarter.
