Find the tools you pay for twice.

5 minQuickStack*form

You can name every tool you pay for, who owns it, and which duplicates to cancel.

  1. Step 01

    Open the ledger

    Every tool, its owner, its monthly cost, and its renewal date in one table. The free audit tool above estimates this; the ledger is the real thing.

  2. Step 02

    Follow the public intake

    New tool requests come in through a public intake form, so nothing enters the stack without an owner and a cost attached to it.

  3. Step 03

    Read the renewal calendar

    Renewals are visible by date, which is what stops a tool from auto-renewing as a surprise invoice nobody was watching for.

  4. Step 04

    Cancel with the totals in hand

    Duplicates and unused seats show up as line items with owners, not as a hunch in a meeting. The monthly total sits at the bottom of the same table.
