Find and stop SaaS cost leaks in 60s — automated spending scan & fixes

Many organizations—SMBs through large enterprises, including finance, procurement, IT and nascent FinOps teams—suffer recurring SaaS cost leaks from orphaned subscriptions, duplicate licenses, unused seats, shadow IT and misaligned plan tiers. With roughly 5 million addressable businesses spending an average $30,000 yearly on SaaS, industry estimates commonly place leakage at 10–25% of SaaS budgets, creating meaningful recurring waste. You could build an automated scanner that completes a 60‑second cross‑system spending scan—ingesting billing, SSO directory, HRIS, MDM, expense and cloud metadata—to surface prioritized, high‑confidence cost leaks and recommended fixes. The product should offer playbooked one‑click remediations (seat reclaim, subscription downgrade/cancellation, license consolidation), safe automation with audit trails, and workflow integrations (Slack, ServiceNow) so teams realize savings quickly while minimizing false positives. This market is attractive now because formal FinOps adoption, continued SaaS proliferation and more complex multi‑cloud/hybrid stacks are raising both the frequency and visibility of leaks; with a $150B addressable spend and Market Score 92/100 and Revenue Potential 90/100, buyers are motivated to pay for measurable ROI. To stand out against medium competition you’ll need deep vendor‑specific connectors and inference logic to reduce false positives, a security‑first permissions model and enterprise‑grade auditability, plus pricing aligned to recovered spend to lower procurement friction. Challenges—API limitations, data access, integration complexity and the need to build trust with finance/IT—mean longer sales cycles, so pursue with disciplined pilots and concrete recovery metrics before scaling.
