Five ways to cut a SaaS bill
Every suggestion comes with a number, so you can start with the one that saves the most.
Tools nobody really uses. Tell us how often each one is used and we flag the dead weight.
Two tools doing one job, like Zoom when Google Meet is already in your Workspace plan.
Same job, smaller bill: a cheaper tool, a free tier or an open-source option that does what you use.
A bigger plan or more seats than you use. We match your charge to the plan and seats you’re on.
Simple tools with a big bill. Build your own in a weekend with an AI app builder and a free blueprint.

Got a BUILD verdict? Here’s the plan.
The scope, a Supabase schema with security rules already written, prompts to paste into Lovable or Claude Code in order, and how to move your data off the old tool.

Bank statements are sensitive, so we built Stack Scan to never see yours. The file is read by code running in your browser, and nothing is sent to us. The tool list it finds stays in your browser until you clear it.
- No upload, no bank login, no account
- Works offline once the page has loaded
- One click clears everything it saved
- Open scoring: every price is dated and sourced
Ask Buildict from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Add the free Buildict MCP connector and your assistant can look up verdicts, real prices and cheaper alternatives while it helps you plan. There’s a JSON API too.
Questions
Is my bank statement uploaded anywhere?
No. Stack Scan reads your file with code running in your browser. The statement never leaves your device. Only the list of tools it finds is saved, in your own browser, so you can come back to your plan.
Which banks and file types work?
Any bank or card that exports CSV, including statements in other languages and with comma decimals. PDF statements work when they contain text (not scanned images). You can also paste transactions or add tools by hand.
How do you decide what to cut, switch or build?
We compare what you actually pay with researched list prices, cheaper alternatives and the 3-year cost of building your own version, including your time. Then we weigh risks the price doesn’t show, like legal validity or email deliverability. The scoring page explains every number.
Why do so many verdicts say buy or switch?
Because that is often the honest answer. A cheap subscription can cost less than the bugs you’d ship, and many expensive tools have a cheaper drop-in replacement. We would rather save you money than sell you a project.
Is it free?
Yes. Stack Scan, every verdict and the Build Blueprints are free during launch. A paid plan with email renewal reminders and price-change alerts is coming; the scan itself will stay free.
Can I ask Buildict from ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Buildict has a free MCP connector and a JSON API, so AI assistants can look up verdicts, prices and alternatives directly. See the developers page.
