The 30-minute SaaS subscription audit

Most teams pay for ~30% more SaaS than they actively use. Here's a structured audit you can run in 30 minutes — without connecting your bank, your email, or any OAuth scope.

Step 1 — list everything

Use the free MatchYourSaaS tracker. Manual entry, 30 seconds per tool. Write down: name, monthly cost, billing cycle, renewal date.

Step 2 — flag dead weight

Three columns: Used weekly, Used monthly, Used rarely / never. Be ruthless on the third column.

Step 3 — find duplication

Are you paying for two PM tools? Two design tools? A "free" tool and a paid one that does the same job?

Step 4 — check renewal dates

For everything in the next 60 days, go to our comparisons and check the cheaper alternative. The right time to switch is before the renewal charge hits.

Step 5 — automate the next audit

Once you've added everything to the tracker, you'll get an email 30/7/1 days before each renewal. The audit becomes continuous.

Track your SaaS spend in 30 seconds

Manual entry, no bank or email connections. We email you before every renewal — with cheaper alternatives.
