The Problem
Engineering teams and ops managers are paying hundreds per month for tools they barely use—because nobody owns the subscription inventory, switching feels risky, and cancellation requires more effort than just letting it renew. You know something's wrong, but auditing 50+ tools manually is a nightmare.
What I'm Thinking of Building
ToolAudit connects to your Slack, email, and billing systems to automatically inventory every paid tool, score each one by actual usage, and flag the ones you can kill or replace with cheaper alternatives. We surface the real decision—not just costs, but what you'd lose and what you'd save—so you can stop the bleeding without breaking workflows.
Who It's For
Operations and engineering managers at 50–500 person startups and mid-market companies paying $200k–$2M annually on SaaS tools; also agency ops teams managing multiple client subscriptions.
Key Features (Planned)
- Auto-inventory all subscriptions from Slack, email, and billing integrations
- ROI scoring: usage frequency vs. monthly cost to flag the real waste
- Smart alternatives: cheaper or open-source replacements already in your stack
I'm validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, I'd love your feedback:
What's the single tool you cut and realized you didn't miss at all? And for the ones you kept—was it actually worth it, or just too much friction to cancel?
