How many SaaS tools are you still paying for but not using?
Hey everyone,
I built CostLoop because small teams and individuals are quietly leaking money through forgotten subscriptions, unused seats, surprise renewals, and invoices nobody can find when they need them.
It’s not a sexy problem, but it is a real one.
Most freelancers and small businesses start with a spreadsheet. That works for a while, until nobody updates it, renewal dates get missed, and the “cheap” tools quietly become a few thousand euros a year.
CostLoop gives you one place to track:
what tools you pay for
how much each one costs
who owns each subscription
when it renews
where the invoice or contract is
how to cancel it
what is coming up next
No bank connection. No credit card access. No complicated setup. Just a clear subscription dashboard, renewal reminders, and a way to stop paying for things you forgot about.
I just launched it here on SaaSHive and would love brutally honest feedback from other founders, freelancers, and small business owners.
Be honest: would you use something like this, or would you still default to a spreadsheet?

Keeping track of all subscriptions is a real challenge, especially now with so many AI tools we use for building and growing. I just cut all my subscriptions to a minimum after calculating how much I was actually spending. Painful but necessary.
I like your website and messaging, Milos. One thing I'd think about though: your audience is people who already have too many subscriptions. Asking them to add one more is exactly what they're trying to avoid. What might help is showing the contrast between the cost of inaction and the cost of CostLoop in a bolder way. If you can find stats on how much businesses waste on forgotten or unused subscriptions, those numbers would do the selling for you. Something like "Save $500 a month with CostLoop. Stop paying for apps you don't even use."
Would I use it? Yes, because the alternative (my spreadsheet) stopped working about 10 subscriptions ago.
This hits close to home. Running three businesses meant three sets of subscriptions, and I definitely found a couple of "oh, I forgot we still pay for that" moments before I built better visibility into things with FounderFlow. The one place tracking model makes total sense, that's the same instinct behind everything I built, just pointed at revenue/relationships instead of tool spend. Honest answer to your question: I'd use it, but only if it can flag which subscriptions look genuinely unused versus just quiet-but-critical (e.g., a backup tool you rarely touch but really need). How are you telling those two apart?
Milosh, the default to a spreadsheet you mentioned is the same pattern I see everywhere, not just for subscriptions, for entire businesses. People track deals, invoices, and renewals in a sheet long after it stops working, because switching feels harder than the pain of maintaining it. Curious what finally pushed your users off the spreadsheet, was it one missed renewal that actually hurt, or just enough small ones adding up over time?
