Example // Free SaaS Audit

Free SaaS audit. A one-page map of your subscription stack and the waste hiding in it.

Over a few years you have signed up for 10 to 20 SaaS tools: CRM, accounting, project management, storage, e-signature, payroll, chat, and a pile of single-feature apps. Total spend runs $1,500 to $2,000 a month, they auto-renew on a card, some overlap, some go unused, and nobody has a current map of what each one costs or who actually uses it. Hand us the list and we map every subscription by cost, usage, and overlap, then hand back a one-page audit you keep.

01
The trigger

It starts when you share your subscription list.

No systems access, no setup. The audit begins the moment you hand over your subscription list, in whatever format you already have: a spreadsheet, a QuickBooks vendor export, a credit-card statement, or a quick walk through your admin logins.

02
The work

Four steps. We do the work, you keep the report.

  1. 01

    You share the list

    A spreadsheet from the controller, a QuickBooks vendor export, a credit-card CSV, or a guided walk through your SaaS admin consoles. Whatever you have.

  2. 02

    We map the spend

    We catalog every subscription by cost, category, utilization, and overlap. Dead tools, unassigned seats, and duplicate-purpose tools surface. Industry context applied per your business.

  3. 03

    One-page audit, delivered

    Yours to keep. Total spend, identified waste, consolidation opportunities, and any tools that would make sense as a custom build later. Free, no obligation.

  4. 04

    You decide what to do with it

    Most businesses act on the audit themselves over the next 6 to 12 months. A few engage with us on a custom replacement for a specific tool. Either is fine.

03
The outcome

What you get.

One-page audit
Free, no obligation, yours to keep

The audit is free. You give us about 30 minutes on the front-end to hand over your subscription list and answer a few questions about how each tool is actually used. We spend 1 to 2 hours producing the analysis. You get back a one-page report showing your monthly SaaS spend mapped, categorized, and quantified, usually for the first time. The waste surfaces specifically: where two tools overlap, where unassigned seats are bleeding, where dead subscriptions auto-renew, where you are paying for capability you never use.

It applies to any industry. SaaS sprawl is industry-agnostic. Every small or mid-sized business at the 10-to-100 employee tier accumulates it regardless of what they do. The specific consolidation candidates differ by industry and current stack, but the audit framework is the same. We have run this for manufacturing shops, distributors, professional services firms, rental yards, trade-service shops, and 3PLs. Same audit, different recommendations per business.

What you do with the report is up to you. Most businesses take it, execute consolidation themselves over 6 to 12 months, and never need anything else. Some find that one or two of the tools the audit flags would make more sense as a custom build than as another SaaS swap, and ask us to scope that. Those custom builds are priced separately under our standard pilot motion ($800 pilot, flat monthly after); the audit is not a sales gate.

Cost and turnaround

The audit is free, with no obligation. About 30 minutes of your time to hand over the list, an hour or two of ours to produce the analysis, and a one-page report back within a few days. If one of the tools it flags would work better as a custom build, we will mention it, but the audit never depends on you taking that step.

04
Who this fits

Who the audit is for, and who it is not.

Any small or mid-sized business running 10 or more SaaS subscriptions, in any industry. Typical fit: 10 to 100 person companies where SaaS sprawl has grown faster than the headcount or the use cases that drove the original purchases. The audit framework is industry-agnostic; the specific consolidation candidates differ per business. It does not fit companies whose SaaS spend is already actively managed by a procurement or finance ops team with current utilization data.

05
What you hand over

No integration. You just share the list.

No integration. You hand over a subscription list in whatever format you have (spreadsheet, QuickBooks vendor export, credit-card CSV, or a guided walk through your admin consoles). We produce the analysis offline and deliver a one-page PDF. If you later decide to engage with us on a custom build that came out of the audit, that build is scoped separately with whatever integrations that specific tool needs.

Common questions

Questions people ask about the free audit.

Is the audit really free? What is the catch?

Yes, free. No fee, no obligation, no hidden engagement requirement. The audit takes about 1 to 2 hours of our analyst time per business; we treat it as top-of-funnel relationship work. If we surface a tool that would make sense to custom-build as a replacement, we will tell you. You decide whether that is a conversation worth having.

Will you try to sell me something at the end?

We will tell you honestly which subscriptions look like consolidation candidates and which ones could make sense as custom builds. If any of those are worth scoping, we will. You decide whether to engage. Most audit recipients take the report and never engage further; that is fine with us.

How is this different from SaaS-management platforms?

Off-the-shelf SaaS management platforms are built for procurement teams at larger companies, priced at $500 a month and up. Our audit is a free, one-time analysis aimed at small and mid-sized businesses where sprawl is real but no dedicated procurement function exists. We are not selling you ongoing SaaS management; we are surfacing the waste so you can act.
