Audit Your SaaS Subscriptions: Cut 200-800 EUR/Month in Duplicate Tools

AI identifies duplicate subscriptions, unused licenses, and redundant tools in your SMB.

Table of contents: As an SMB owner or independent contractor, you're looking for practical ways to save time, cut costs, and stay competitive. This solution is one of the tools we recommend most at KRIGER-KORLOFF-BROTHERS for immediate, measurable impact.

The problem it solves

Every day, SMBs and independent contractors waste time and money on tasks that technology can automate. Those 15 subscriptions nobody knows who's actually using — that's exactly what this solution is designed to fix. Time spent on these tasks is time not invested in business development, customer relationships, or innovation.

The solution: Najar, Welii, or manual audit with an AI agent

Cost: 30-80 EUR/month or one-time fee Replaces: Those 15 subscriptions nobody knows who's actually using Estimated savings: 200-800 EUR/month (eliminating duplicates + unused licenses)

Najar is one of the most accessible tools in this category. It's up and running within a few hours, requires no advanced technical skills, and the return on investment is visible from the very first month.

How it works

The tool integrates with your existing stack (email, calendar, CRM, accounting software) and automates repetitive tasks. The AI learns from your usage patterns and improves over time. You stay in control of key decisions — the AI handles the rest.

Key benefits

  • 24/7 availability: the tool keeps working even when you're out on a job or enjoying your weekend
  • Zero data-entry errors: machines don't make mistakes with numbers and dates
  • Scalability: volume can triple with no significant added cost
  • Full traceability: everything is logged and instantly retrievable

Real-world case: 30-person SMB

A 30-person SMB was paying 2,800 EUR/month across 22 SaaS subscriptions. An AI audit uncovered: 3 video conferencing tools (Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet — keep Teams, cancel the other two), 8 unused Slack licenses (from employees who had left), a CRM and an Airtable spreadsheet doing the same job, and a project management tool nobody had touched in 6 months. Immediate savings: 650 EUR/month, or 7,800 EUR/year.

How to implement this solution

Step 1: Diagnosis (1 day)

Assess how much time you currently spend on this task. Track your hours over a typical week. Multiply by your fully-loaded hourly rate. That's your baseline cost.

Step 2: Free trial (1-2 weeks)

Most tools offer a 14-day free trial. Test on a limited scope with no risk. Compare results against your current process.

Step 3: Rollout (1-2 weeks)

If the trial is successful, deploy the solution across your entire team. Train users — this typically takes no more than 1-2 hours.

Step 4: Measure ROI (months 1-3)

Track real gains against your baseline cost. Adjust settings as needed. As a rule, ROI is visible by the end of the first full month.

Alternatives and comparison

Several solutions exist in this category: Najar, Welii, or a manual audit using an AI agent. The right choice depends on your company size, budget, and existing tech stack. For SMBs with fewer than 20 employees, the simplest solution is often the best — team adoption matters more than advanced features.

Available funding to finance this investment

As a French SMB, you may be eligible for several support schemes:

  • France Num: digital vouchers worth 500 to 6,500 EUR for SMB digitalization

This solution belongs in the "quick wins" category that every SMB or independent contractor should prioritize. The risk is virtually zero thanks to free trial periods, and the gains are immediate and measurable.
