Montro AI vs Zylo

Zylo and Montro both start with the same question - what software is actually running across this organisation? But they're built to answer very different follow-up questions. Zylo asks: what is it costing, and where can we reduce spend? Montro asks: what regulatory obligations does it create, and who is accountable for it? As AI tools spread across the workforce, both questions matter - but only one of them has a deadline attached.

Zylo

What Zylo does

Zylo is an enterprise SaaS spend management platform that delivers visibility, cost control, and optimisation across software and AI investments. The platform helps IT, procurement, and FinOps teams identify licence waste, control AI consumption costs, manage renewals, and reduce application redundancy across the portfolio.

Montro

What Montro does

Montro is an AI Governance and SaaS Intelligence platform built for European organisations. Rather than optimising software spend, Montro focuses on the regulatory layer - discovering AI tools spreading across the workforce, classifying them against EU AI Act risk tiers, and giving compliance and legal teams a clear picture of what DORA, NIS2, and GDPR obligations follow.

AI Visibility Gap

Why Legacy SaaS Tools Fail in the Modern Stack

Legacy platforms are trapped in 2021—relying on slow financial logs and static app libraries. Because they cannot see real-time AI usage or identity shifts, companies are exposed to massive operational blind spots.
