Flexera manages your software assets. Subble optimises software licences.
Flexera made its name in software asset management, on premises audits and compliance. Flexera One SaaS Management came through two acquisitions, Meta SaaS in 2018 and Snow in 2024, and sits on a platform built for on premises software rather than for licence analytics. Subble is built for licence management. It tracks how each person uses each app, then tells you, licence by licence, which to remove or downgrade and what each one saves. There's no legacy asset management to work around: Subble is cloud based, read-only, quicker to set up, and cheaper to run.

Feature comparison
Why choose Subble?
Deeper than active or inactive
Flexera One SaaS Management reports whether each person has been active and when they last logged in. Outside Microsoft 365 it can't tell a paid feature from a free one. Subble records when each person logs in and which paid features they use, and it knows what each licence costs. With that data, Subble can tell you when someone can move to a cheaper tier without disrupting their work.
Every vendor you pay for, including AI
Flexera One SaaS Management goes deep on Microsoft 365 and little else. Subble runs the same analysis on every licence you pay for: Adobe, Atlassian, Salesforce, Zoom, and AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
Nothing to install, and read-only
Subble installs nothing. There are no desktop agents watching what your people do and no browser extensions to push out. Every connection is read-only, and your licence and usage data stays in Australia.
“Flexera wanted to install their services on all of our devices and monitor and monitor and monitor, and we didn't want that.”
SaaS and AI savings without changing Flexera
Subble shows which SaaS and AI licences you can remove or downgrade, with a saving for each change. Your Flexera configuration stays unchanged when you add Subble.
