Software Spend Auditor

Most owners underestimate their software bill because it arrives in a dozen small pieces. List your subscriptions here and see the honest total: what you pay a month, a year, and over five years once normal price increases are included.

Rented, not owned. At the end of it you have paid $37,804 and own none of it. That is fine for the cheap, excellent tools. It is worth questioning for the expensive ones that only half fit how you work.

Not every subscription is worth replacing. Accounting and payments usually are not.

Frequently asked

Why does my software bill feel bigger than it looks?+

Because it arrives in small pieces. A dozen tools at $40 to $90 a month each never feels like a major expense individually, but together they are often one of the larger line items in a small business, and unlike most costs it grows every year without you agreeing to anything.

Why does the total include price increases?+

Because ignoring them understates what you will actually pay. Subscription prices rise, tiers get restructured, and per-seat tools cost more every time you hire. A five-year projection at today's prices is a fiction, so this adds a modest yearly increase you can adjust.

Which subscriptions should I actually cut?+

Usually none of the cheap, excellent, fixed-price ones like accounting or payments. The candidates worth examining are the expensive per-seat tools that only half fit how you work, especially where you keep a spreadsheet alongside them to make them usable. That combination is where the money is being wasted.

What is the alternative to renting all these tools?+

For the expensive, ill-fitting ones, having a single system built around your actual workflow, which you then own outright and run on cheap flat hosting. It is not always the right answer, and it rarely makes sense for cheap or best-in-class tools. The SaaS versus custom calculator will tell you honestly which side your numbers land on.
