From spreadsheet hell to a working product in 4 weeks

I'm an IT Manager by day. A few months ago I did a full audit of our company's SaaS spend. What I found:

  • Notion workspace from 2023, still paying

  • Figma seats for people who left

  • Random "free trials" that never got cancelled

  • 3 different video call apps somehow

Total: ~$350/month in pure waste.

The problem? Nobody owns this stuff. Subscriptions pile up, people leave, credit cards keep getting charged. Spreadsheets go stale after a week. Enterprise tools like Zylo cost more than the subscriptions you're tracking.

So I built Stacktidy.

What it does:

  • Add your subscriptions (manual entry, no bank connection needed)

  • See everything in a calendar view

  • Get email reminders before renewals hit

That's it. No enterprise bloat. $29/mo or $290/year.

Just launched and looking for feedback. Would love to hear how others handle this problem - or if you think I'm solving something that doesn't need solving.

    Congrats on the launch, looks solid. How are you currently thinking about acquiring early users and gathering feedback?

      Currently using X and Reddit. Mostly warm outreach.

        Reddit can be incredibly powerful if used effectively. Are you primarily reaching out through direct messages, or are you posting valuable threads in specific subreddits? I've noticed a significant difference in results based on these approaches, particularly regarding when you introduce the product compared to building authority first.
