How Much Are Your SaaS Subscriptions Really Costing You?

The calculator models a $5,000 foundation and adds estimated module costs, with overlapping tools grouped into shared modules. These are planning assumptions, not a quote. Hosting assumptions shown in the result do not cover every possible AI, email, SMS, payment, support, or maintenance cost; we validate the full budget with you.

The model groups tools in the same category into one estimated module. That helps identify overlapping subscriptions, but does not mean a single module reproduces every feature in those products. We validate the actual workflow and integrations before quoting.

It is a directional planning tool using the prices and assumptions shown in the result. Real subscription terms, integrations, migration, hosting, and support vary. For an exact comparison, we validate your current invoices and workflow during the assessment.

No. If a standard tool fits the workflow and the team is small, keeping it may be the better decision. Custom becomes more compelling when several people share a specialized process, disconnected tools create repeated work, or the business needs capabilities generic software cannot support.

The estimate assumes shared essentials such as admin access, authentication, contacts, branding, and the first connected module. Your proposal specifies what is included, the integrations, hosting setup, and the support period.

A custom platform can connect those workflows in one system. We agree which capabilities to build, which tools to retain, and ownership in your proposal. Third-party services and ongoing operation still have costs.

Custom can still work if you want ownership and customization, but the dollar savings are smaller. We're honest about that — the calculator shows an estimate to investigate. Many clients start with one module to replace their most expensive SaaS, then expand over time.
