Free stack audit for founders and indie devs

Stop paying subscriptions for services you barely use.

Most of your subscriptions do one job you actually need. Stackcut scans 3 months of receipts in a few minutes, then shows what to cancel, what to pay per use, and which tools AI can replace.

Should AI replace it?

Stackcut checks three things before it ever suggests replacing a tool with AI.

SampleReplace-with-AI checks from the sample founder stack

  1. 01Porting out

    Can you get your data and workflows out? Easy, Medium or Hard, from data export, integrations, seats and how much history you have.

  2. 02Ready-built alternatives

    If a cheaper, free, open-source or per-use tool already covers the features you use, switch to it instead of building.

  3. 03Cost to build

    No alternative? You get a build cost, a monthly run cost, and the months it takes to pay back against the subscription.

Common questions

Do you sell my data?

No.

Do I have to build anything?

No. Most savings come from canceling, pay per use and consolidating.

What does "replace with AI" mean?

For a tool where you use 1 or 2 features, we write a spec a coding agent can build from, and estimate what it costs to build and run.

Is it free?
