reduce SaaS costs

Cut your software costs without cutting capability.

I rebuild overgrown SaaS stacks into single-operator systems — same output, half the subscriptions.

— How I'd approach yours

The framework.

  1. 01

    Stack audit

    Inventory every recurring subscription, what it actually does, and what overlaps.

  2. 02

    Consolidate

    Map overlapping tools to one canonical tool per job.

  3. 03

    Rebuild with AI-native alternatives

    n8n replaces three Zapier seats; GoHighLevel replaces four point tools; Notion replaces three project apps.

  4. 04

    Migrate with zero downtime

    Parallel-run the new stack before killing the old. Nothing gets cancelled until the replacement is proven.

  5. 05

    Document for handover

    Your team runs the new stack without me. Written playbooks, not tribal knowledge.

— Scope & timeline

Engagements typically run 3–6 weeks. Starter diagnostic: one week, fixed-scope audit with a concrete consolidation recommendation. Full consolidation: 4–6 weeks, quoted after the audit.

— Questions

What people ask first.

How much can I realistically save?
The Hub cut from $500 to $200/month — 60%. Your savings depend on how much your stack actually overlaps. The audit is the only honest way to answer this.
Will I lose functionality?
Consolidation means same outputs, fewer tools. Before migrating anything I prove parity on a parallel run — if the new stack can't do it, we don't switch.
What tools do you consolidate to?
Depends on the audit. Common consolidations: n8n for automation, GoHighLevel for CRM/marketing, Shopify for commerce, Notion or Linear for ops.
Do I need a team to run the new stack?
No. The stack is designed for single-operator or small-team use. Documentation and handover training are part of the engagement.
What if my industry has specific tools I can't replace?
I keep industry-specific tools (Xero, QuickBooks, clinical systems, vertical SaaS) and consolidate the surrounding ops layer.
