Launched this week
Stop losing money on forgotten SaaS subscriptions and "ghost" licenses. Toolspend is the ultimate command center for your stack, designed to give you 100% spend visibility without the manual upkeep. While other tools just list your apps, Toolspend deep-dives into your actual usage and spend patterns. We identify underutilized seats, detect duplicate tools across teams, and alert you before every renewal. Toolspend helps you automate the toil of procurement so you can focus on building!

Yep, rogue AI seats are killing us. Surprise Midjourney/Cursor/Claude charges and then finance pings me. If this actually maps tokens to teams + nudges before renewals, that’d help. Does it catch stuff paid on personal cards that get expensed later?
Toolspend
@alexcloudstar Yep — Runway, Midjourney, Cursor, Claude are usually the usual suspects
ToolSpend connects via Plaid, so both company accounts and personal cards (that later get expensed) can be pulled in and don’t stay invisible.
From there we map usage to teams and nudge before renewals so finance doesn’t get surprise bills.
We’re actively adding more AI services over the coming days.
This is super timely with everyone subscribing to 5 different AI tools. :D
Does the tool separate variable costs from fixed seat-based subscriptions?
Toolspend
@valeriia_kuna Yes — that separation is core for us.
We split variable usage (like token-based API costs that can spike) from fixed seat-based subscriptions (which quietly stack up across teams).
Without that distinction, finance just sees one big number — and it’s hard to know what’s actually driving spend.
Congrats on the launch! We’ve definitely run into this with our startup team... once you’re using multiple AI models and tools, it gets challenging to understand what you’re actually spending vs. what you’re getting. Being able to chat with AI to see total spend, usage analytics, and optimization suggestions would be really valuable.
Toolspend
@palirenjen Appreciate that
That’s exactly the pain we kept hearing — once you’re using multiple models + tools, spend becomes this blurry mix of seats, tokens, trials, and renewals.
You think you know what you’re spending… until the invoice hits.
The “chat with your spend” idea is spot on too.
Instead of digging through dashboards, just ask:
That’s very much the direction we’re heading — clarity first, optimization next.
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback 🙏

Love this idea — AI costs are getting out of control fast. This feels super needed right now 👏
Toolspend
@abod_rehman Appreciate it
It really does start small and then quietly snowballs.
What’s been the biggest AI cost surprise for your team so far?
Who you gonna call? Ghost-license busters!:D 2026 is officially the year of too many AI subscriptions. Love the model alternative feature. Any plans for a one-click cancel button inside the dashboard?
Toolspend
@kostfast Thanks, Kostia — glad you like the model alternative feature.
A one-click cancel action is something we’re considering. Because cancellation flows differ by provider (and aren’t always supported via API), we’re prioritizing a safe “disconnect + stop spend” workflow first, then adding one-click cancel where possible. Which providers would be most useful for you?
@papuna_giorgadze1 OpenAI, Anthropic, and Midjourney for sure. We switch AI tools so fast these days, so a one-click move for the whole stack is exactly what we need. Good luck with the build!

@iftekharahmad Thanks! 🙌 Honestly, it started as a way to understand our own AI spend better. Now we’re opening it up and learning from how teams actually use it.
Cool initiative, do you also keep track of those free memberships and provide updates when the trial period is almost over?
Toolspend
@viktorgems Honestly? We’re still winging parts of it — and heavily feeding off community feedback.
Right now, the focus is giving everyone visibility first. We want the core dashboard to be free so teams can actually see their AI usage and subscriptions without friction.
Long term, the plan is simple:
Access to your spend data → free
Optimization recommendations that reduce costs → paid (because they directly save money)
On the trial tracking question — yes, that’s definitely on our radar. Free memberships and expiring trials are part of the “silent creep” problem we want to surface better.
If that’s something you’d find valuable, would love to hear how you’re tracking trials today.
