Stack audit: what your software stack really costs

What does your software really cost you a year?

Connect your books. See every subscription you pay for, added up. About a minute.

Start with your website

About ten seconds. We read your public website and DNS records only. Nothing is installed.

Here's exactly what we look at

Xero will ask you to allow these. All of them are read-only: we can't change, create or delete anything in your books.

Bills you were sent
Supplier, date and amount, last eighteen months
Money you spent
Card and bank payments, last eighteen months
Your organisation's settings
Its name, what kind of organisation it is, its currency and the names of your accounts
  • Only money going out. Sales, money coming in, payroll and balances are never read.
  • We disconnect ourselves. The moment the audit finishes we remove our access, and it disappears from your connected apps.
  • A person checks it, not just software. We keep your result and a spreadsheet of the outgoing lines we read, so one of our team can go through it by hand and catch what the matching missed. No card numbers, no descriptions, no sales.
  • We'll follow up on what we found. Connecting tells us your organisation's name, not your email or phone, so the follow-up starts with you, or with your account manager if you're already with us.
  • Delete it any time. One click on the result removes your result and the spreadsheet. We keep only a note that you ran it, and any copy already in our team's inbox.

How big is the company?

Many of these tools charge per person. This is what makes the figures yours rather than an average.

Most of them charge per user. We've suggested a figure; change it if you know better.

When does each contract end?

We move one tool a month, timed to its renewal, so you never pay for two things at once.

Monthly spend switched off, as each tool moves

Your call agenda

Bring a recent bill for each tool and we'll firm up the dates on the call.
