The audit is a snapshot, and software costs drift after it. The watch is planned: it would run every day against your books and tell whoever approves spend when something changed.
Planned, not open yet. The free audit and the by-hand routine below work today.
A vendor that was not in your books last month.
A charge that stepped up from the bill before it.
Two vendors billed for the same job.
A renewal coming up, from the contracts you record, with the notice window.
A monthly plan where a yearly term might fit, or the reverse.
Seats against use, where you give it the admin report or an export.
Only what you give it. Every comparison is your bills against your own earlier bills; nothing is read from vendor pages and nothing is quoted from what other companies pay.
Vendor totals and bills from QuickBooks Online or Xero, read-only. The same data the free audit reads from an export.
Renewal dates and notice windows you record for the contracts that matter. Without a date, it cannot warn you about one.
Optional: an admin export of who signed in, so it can compare seats paid for with people using them. Only where you choose to share it.
We work with data you export or access you approve. We do not scrape, get around paywalls, or touch an account that is not yours.
It reads. It does not cancel, buy or change a plan.
It compares your bills with your own earlier bills. It does not read vendor pages or quote what others pay.
A short note with the line, what changed and the next step, sent to the person who decides. No new sheet to keep.
The format only. The brackets stand for your own vendors, dates and figures; this page shows no result for anyone.
Every check above is something one person can do with the books open. These guides are the procedure.
Send us the export and see which lines are worth a second look.
