Software Bill Review
Some of your software has a free version.
Most people don’t know they can swap a paid tool for an open-source one, or how to make the move. Send us your subscription list. We’ll show you what overlaps and what you can swap, and we’ll set it up. You keep the list either way.
Programs that have a free open-source version
If you pay for any of these, there’s an open-source version that does the same job. We set it up, move your data over, and the subscription goes. It’s one of the easiest ways to save money on business expenses in 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this actually free?
Yes, the list is yours to keep. It’s our way of showing you a glimpse of how we can minimize your monthly software bill. If you want help setting it up, give us a call or send us an email. We’d be happy to help!
Do you get a commission on what you recommend?
No. A lot of what we recommend is free and open source, which pays us nothing. As a small business, we understand the financial constraints, and we want to help business owners save money wherever possible so they can be successful. And who doesn’t like saving money?
What do you need from me?
Just the list of what you pay for every month. That’s all we need to recommend what to switch to so you save money.
