Tropic Problems

Why Smart Companies Choose a Tropic Alternative

SaaS Only Category

Tropic handles only SaaS buying and renewal processes. Zapro supports every vendor category, allowing you to manage all suppliers and contracts in one unified system.

No AP Automation

Tropic lacks core Accounts Payable AP features like invoice processing, three way matching, custom approval workflows, or payment execution. Zapro covers the full AP automation cycle.

Limited Procurement Tools

Tropic lacks essential Procurement workflows like Purchase Requisitions PRs, formal Purchase Orders POs, or comprehensive sourcing tools. Zapro is a complete Procure to Pay P2P solution.

No Budget Control

Tropic does not provide proactive tracking or governance over committed budgets. Zapro gives finance teams real time governance, checking requests against available budgets instantly.

Negotiation Focused

Tropic emphasizes deal management and cost savings through negotiation. Zapro focuses on automating all financial workflows, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and accurate audit trails across the board.

Expensive for Small Teams

Tropic's pricing often charges heavily for savings based outcomes, which can be unpredictable and costly. Zapro offers transparent, predictable pricing that scales reliably with your business.
