What are your subscriptions actually costing you?
Software you rent never stops charging, and the total is rarely on anyone's desk as a single number. Here it is, in about ten seconds. No email address, no sign-up.
The number
Pick what you actually pay for
Real list prices, priced the way each vendor really bills — per seat, per company, or a base fee plus a charge per person. Set your team size and watch the years add up.
Anything you add is priced with the rest but never counted as worth rebuilding — that verdict belongs to tools someone has actually looked at.

Before a replacement has cost anything to build, host or maintain — see below.
List prices as published August 2026. Canadian figures are the vendor's own where they publish one, and converted at 1.37 where they do not. Promotional rates, add-ons, onboarding fees and tax are not included — this is the sticker price, which is the number worth arguing with.
Estimates, not advice
Everything here is provided as is, and should be verified before you act on it.
The figures use list prices collected when this tool was last updated. Prices, exchange rates and what each plan includes all change without notice, and any projection of future increases is speculative. Browser extensions and settings can affect what is calculated on screen.
The tool is in regular use and believed to work correctly, but it cannot know everything about your situation — negotiated discounts, taxes, add-ons, usage charges, or anything it was not told about. Other variables nobody has anticipated may apply.
Treat any conclusion here as the start of a conversation rather than the basis of a decision. Stantelligence accepts no responsibility for the use or misuse of this information.
Every product name and trademark belongs to its respective owner. Naming a tool here is not a claim of affiliation, endorsement or partnership, and is not a statement of any vendor's current pricing. This exists only to compare published market rates, which are subject to change.

Four pages built from the numbers above: what you are paying, which tools are worth replacing, and — the longer list — which you should keep buying and why. Emailed as a private link.
The calculator stays free. This is the only thing that asks.
What the number does and does not include
That figure is deliberately simple, which makes it wrong in two directions. Worth knowing which.
It is too low. Per-seat pricing grows with your headcount, and list prices rise. A tool at $40 a seat for six people is not the same tool at $55 for eleven, three years from now. The calculator holds your spend flat, which no vendor does.
It is also too high, as a comparison. Replacing a subscription is not free. There is a build, a migration, and something to maintain afterwards. The honest comparison is not "this number versus zero" — it is this number versus a build cost plus hosting plus upkeep, over the same years.
Which is why the number is a starting question, not an answer. It tells you whether the conversation is worth having.
When replacing is worth it
The pattern is consistent. Replacing a platform pays off when the spend is significant and at least one of these is true:
- You use a fraction of what you are paying for, because the product is built for companies ten times your size.
- The bill grows with your headcount, so succeeding costs you more.
- Your actual process does not fit the tool, and someone is doing manual work to bridge the gap.
- Your data is in there, and getting it out cleanly is not something you have tested.
When it is not
Equally consistent, and worth saying plainly. Do not replace software that is genuinely cheap for what it does, that solves a hard problem well, or that carries a compliance burden you would rather someone else own. Accounting packages and payroll are usually in this group. So is anything where the vendor is absorbing regulatory change on your behalf.
The tools worth owning are the ones shaped like your business rather than like an industry.
If the number surprised you
The next question is what it would take to own it instead
AI-assisted development has changed what custom software costs to build. If your total looks large against a one-off build, that is worth twenty minutes of someone's time — mine or anyone's.
