Shadow IT Discovery Tools

Admina: features, pricing and who it fits

Checked October 24, 2026 · admina.moneyforward.com

Money Forward, a Japanese fintech group, makes Admina, which pairs API connectors with an optional Chrome and Edge extension. Third-party listings put it near $5 per user monthly. It has fewer features than high-end suites, and its Western review base is small.

Who Admina is for

Best for

Small and mid-size IT teams that want a low per-user entry price
Companies with Japanese subsidiaries or Money Forward accounting already in use

Look elsewhere if

Buyers who need a large Western-market review base to validate the vendor (G2 has only 6 reviews)
Teams that need deep risk scoring or security remediation playbooks

Worth knowing before you buy

The browser extension feeds usage data from Chrome or Edge, which lets Admina flag inactive accounts for apps that have no API (support.i.moneyforward.com).
Admina states its database covers over 190,000 SaaS tools, which is what the extension matches against.
Detected apps appear under Integrations > Shadow IT in the console, so discovery and managed connectors live in one list.
Integration methods include scraping, not only OAuth and API, which can break when a vendor changes its admin UI.
G2 notes the profile has had no vendor management for over a year; ITreview Japan shows 4.3 from 33 reviews, so the home-market evidence base is larger than the US one.
Company-level fact: Money Forward was established May 2012; Admina's own launch year is not published.
