I'm not sure yet. Just wanted to make it free/affordable to begin with and test out this model. Certainly the market may prefer a simple paid subscription (free up to X users, then $x/user after that). I understand the perception of 'tracking' and am trying to make it clear how it works w/ the PP up and easy to understand.
Thanks! Whenever a user visits a web page, we check (locally) to see if that url is present in our database of verified SaaS app urls. If there is, we record a session. If not, we don't do anything. So no url or browsing activity is ever sent to our servers unless our extension has already determined that a match has been found in our database of apps.
So at a higher level it sounds like you use the google workspace to distribute a browser extension to everyone in the workspace without their awareness, and the you monitor all sites they visit, recording only those sites that match your SaaS candidates list.
That's right. You have flexibility over who gets the extension (e.g. distribute to the whole org, or only specific org units/people). It is essentially providing unified usage reporting across all your SaaS. Some tools provide transparent usage reporting, some don't.
How would you quantify the value gained from this tracking versus the value of user privacy and trust that may be lost?

This sounds amazing, and a bit scary - how does it obtain the info it needs?
