Clear Recommendation, Not Just Data

Most tools give you a dashboard. VendorBoard gives you a decision. Each evaluation ends with a ranked leaderboard, category scores, risk flags, and a written recommendation your team can act on immediately. No more "let's do another round of calls."

"We used to spend three weeks just getting vendors to answer the same 10 questions. VendorBoard ran the entire discovery process while we focused on the actual decision. It's the first procurement tool that actually removed work instead of creating more of it."

Everything you need to know.

VendorBoard is an AI-powered vendor evaluation platform. You define what you're looking for, add the vendors you're considering, and VendorBoard handles the rest — structured discovery calls, demo analysis, scoring against your requirements, and a final ranked recommendation. Think of it as having a procurement analyst running your evaluation 24/7.
VendorBoard sends structured discovery emails to the vendor contacts you provide. These emails include a set of tailored questions based on your evaluation criteria. Vendors respond directly, and VendorBoard parses and scores their responses automatically. You're notified when each vendor completes their discovery and demo stages.
Yes. Buyers can create up to 2 evaluations completely free — no credit card required. Each evaluation includes full AI-powered vendor discovery, scoring, and a final recommendation report. We charge vendors who participate in the network, which keeps the buyer experience free.
Most evaluations complete within 2–5 business days depending on vendor response times. The setup process takes about 10–15 minutes. VendorBoard handles all vendor outreach, follow-up, and scoring in the background — you get notified when your final recommendation is ready.
Any B2B software category. Common evaluations include CRM, marketing automation, data analytics, HR/HRIS, expense management, customer support platforms, ERP, cybersecurity tools, and AI platforms. If you can name the category, VendorBoard can build the evaluation framework.
You receive a ranked leaderboard with each vendor's total score, category-by-category breakdown (integration fit, implementation complexity, TCO, security, support), identified gaps and risks, and a written recommendation summary — including whether an AI-native alternative might outperform traditional software for your use case.
Click "Apply to Join the VendorBoard Network" in the For Vendors section. You'll be prompted to create or log in to your account, and your application email will be sent directly to our team. We review all vendor applications and will follow up within 2 business days.
Yes. Your requirements, weighting criteria, and evaluation decisions are never shared with vendors or any third parties. Vendors only see the specific discovery questions relevant to their evaluation — not your scoring framework, competitor responses, or internal priorities.
