Executive Summary

Small businesses and prosumers increasingly subscribe to multiple AI tools and routinely face fragmented billing and unpredictable usage-based charges, causing wasted spend and surprise invoices. This pain is acute for an estimated 15 million small-business/prosumer users who lack easy tooling to detect, forecast, and automatically optimize AI-subscription spend. Build a privacy-first platform that automatically aggregates card/bank feeds and vendor APIs to identify AI-tool subscriptions, parse token/credit metering, forecast monthly costs, surface anomalies, and provide one-click recommendations (plan downgrades, spend caps, cancellations). The product would combine a simple dashboard, real-time alerts, and workflow automations so non-finance users can act on optimization opportunities quickly. The timing is attractive — the addressable market is roughly $12.0B (15M users × $800 ACV), driven by rapid AI-tool adoption, a shift to usage-based pricing that breaks traditional trackers, and improving open-banking/card aggregation that lowers integration friction. You can differentiate by focusing specifically on AI billing semantics (token/credit forecasting), deep vendor integrations for meter-level accuracy, and a UX tailored to SMBs/prosumers that turns insights into one-click savings. Expect medium competition and technical complexity around diverse vendor metering and secure connectors, but those challenges are addressable with early vendor partnerships, a privacy-first architecture, and demonstrable, fast ROI.

Help users track and optimize AI subscription spend automatically targets a $12.0B = 15M small businesses & prosumers globally × $800 ACV for subscription discovery and optimization total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 35%+ = growth in AI tool adoption and subscription spending (industry synthesis of AI tooling & fintech spend growth).

Key trends driving demand: Rapid AI-tool adoption — more individuals and small teams are subscribing to multiple AI services, creating fragmentation and billing surprises which a niche tool can address.; Shift to usage-based pricing — AI vendors increasingly use token/credit metering, making traditional subscription trackers less accurate and creating demand for specialized cost-forecasting.; Open banking and card aggregation improvements — easier, secure connectors reduce friction for automated expense detection and make consumer-permissioned spend analysis practical.; Privacy-aware benchmarking — users want recommendations but worry about data; privacy-preserving aggregated benchmarks enable value without exposing raw transaction histories..

Key competitors include Rocket Money (Truebill), Torii, Cleanshelf (or Zylo-like SaaS optimization).
