Recurring Spend Auditor
A finance ops tool that finds duplicate, unused, or unexpectedly renewing subscriptions and helps teams cancel or downgrade them before money is wasted.
The problem
Teams routinely overspend on SaaS because subscriptions are scattered across departments and renewals are easy to miss.
Proposed solution
Connect to card data, invoices, and vendor emails, then flag likely duplicates, dormant seats, trial expirations, and renewal risks with actionable cancellation prompts.
Target audience
Bootstrapped founders, office managers, and finance operators at small businesses.
Key features
- Subscription discovery dashboard
- Duplicate vendor detection
- Trial and renewal alerts

Monetization strategy
