đź’ˇ SaaS Idea: SubSage

SMB SaaS subscription tracker and negotiator: auto-detects subscriptions from email/bank, tracks renewals, usage and seats via APIs, alerts before auto‑renew, and offers one‑click cancellation/renegotiation. Shared company card and vendor vault.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

Problem signals / Community pain

  • Reddit: The linked thread in r/smallbusiness ("How do you manage all your subscriptions?") has >150 comments of owners manually tracking SaaS renewals in Google Sheets or being surprised by auto-renewals. Similar questions appear across r/startups, r/Entrepreneur and r/sysadmin every few weeks.
  • Hacker News: Multiple discussions (e.g. “SaaS Needs a Single Point of Purchase”, “How much do you spend on SaaS a month?”) complain about lack of visibility, shadow IT and runaway subscription cost. Up-votes range 150-400, indicating real interest among tech-savvy SMBs.
