Every team I have worked on has a graveyard of SaaS logins. Someone signs up for a tool during a sprint, the credit card on file keeps billing, the person who set it up changes teams, and six months later you are paying for something three people used twice. The painful part is not the money — it is that nobody can tell you what half the line items are for.
SaaSpend is a spend audit, and it is deliberately boring. You list your team's tools, one per line, with the monthly cost next to each. It does not connect to your bank or your card processor. There is no API pulling your Stripe invoices. You type the numbers in, and in exchange it does three things a spreadsheet does badly.
It flags duplicate categories. If you have listed two CRMs, or two screen-recording tools, or two email-finder extensions, it surfaces the overlap so a human can decide whether one is redundant. It flags forgotten tools — entries you wrote down but cannot account for, the ones that get a "what is this?" in review. And it produces a suggested savings estimate, which is a number derived from the duplicates and the forgotten tools you choose to act on.
There is an approvals step for teams, so the person who owns the budget signs off before anything is treated as a decision. That is the whole product.
What it deliberately does not do
- It does not connect to your billing. You supply the list, so the audit is only as complete as what you typed. A subscription that never made it onto the list will not be found.
- The savings estimate is a suggestion, not a saving. It tells you what could be cut; whether canceling breaks a workflow is a judgement call the tool will not make for you.
- It does not cancel anything. Approvals are a human sign-off, not an automated kill switch. Nothing gets turned off on your behalf.
- It is not a negotiation or a replacement tool. It will not haggle with vendors or find cheaper plans. It organizes what you already know.
If your SaaS spending feels like a mystery, the fix is usually a list, not a smarter algorithm. SaaSpend is $19/mo and the first step is just writing down what you are already paying for.
