SaaS cost reduction
Find and cut what
you're overpaying for.
Send us what you're running and what it costs. We go through it line by line and come back with a written list: what's worth keeping, what's worth replacing, and what the replacement would actually cost to run. Free, no card, and you can take the list and do nothing with it.
Where the money usually is
Six places we look first. Most stacks have at least three of them.
Seats nobody uses
Per-seat pricing bills the license, not the login. The first thing we ask for is a seat list next to a last-active date, because it is usually the fastest money on the table.
Two products doing one job
Overlap that arrived because two teams bought separately, and nobody has since had a reason to look at the two invoices side by side.
A whole tier bought for one feature
An org-wide upgrade triggered by one team needing one thing. Sometimes there is a cheaper way to get that one thing.
Bills that scale with traffic
Usage-metered infrastructure — function invocations, bandwidth, egress, NAT gateways — where the line item grows with something other than the value you get. See the hyperscale comparison.
Tools with a self-hostable equivalent
Where an open-source alternative would genuinely do the job, and where it wouldn't. Both answers come up. The catalog is what we'd be pointing at.
Tools worth every cent
Some products earn their price and switching would cost you more than staying. That goes in the list too, in writing, with the reason.
The prices we're willing to quote
Published list prices we read off the vendor's own pricing page, on the date shown. They're the starting point for the arithmetic, not the answer — your rate depends on your plan, your billing period and your region.
Slack
US$8.75 per user / month

And the ones we won't quote as fact
We also tried to price Notion, Confluence, Zoom, Zendesk, monday.com, Calendly, Toggl Track, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Google Drive and Box. In each case we could not read a like-for-like monthly, US-dollar list price off the vendor's own page — the number was injected client-side, or geolocated into another currency, or annual-only, or promotional, or priced per company rather than per seat.
So none of these carries a sourced price. Most now appear on the savings calculator as a figure openly labeled Estimated, with the reasoning written out beside it; a few carry no figure from us at all, and the calculator asks you to type yours. Each one's specific reason is written up on the comparisons page. Either way, in your audit these get priced off your invoice, which is the only number that was ever going to be right anyway.
25 seats on Slack Pro at US$8.75 per user / month on monthly billing is US$218.75/mo. The comparison we'd draw is one Olympia Sparta VPS at $9.99/mo running Mattermost — the tier our catalog lists Mattermost from, and the same one the savings calculator picks for it.
Not a guarantee, and not your number. The tier is picked for illustration rather than sized to your usage, and the figure excludes the migration and setup engagement (quoted free, before you commit) and your own admin time. Check it against your own invoice.
How the audit works
Nothing here needs a card, and nothing here needs access to your accounts.
01
You send the list
The tools, the seat counts, the plan you're on, and last month's invoices if you have them to hand.
02
We go through it
Line by line, against published list prices we've checked ourselves and against what an equivalent would cost to run on a server.
03
You get it in writing
What to cut, what to keep, what to replace, and where each figure came from. We reply to messages within 48 hours.
What it costs, and who pays for it
Free
The audit and the written list
No charge and no card required. You keep the list whether or not you ever buy anything from us, and every number in it points at a published price or one of your own invoices.
Read this bit
We're not a neutral party
We sell servers. If the answer is "run this yourself on a box from Olympia", that's a sale for us, and you should read the numbers knowing that. It's exactly why we show you where each one came from — and why, when the answer is "stay where you are", the list says so.
Want to sketch the arithmetic yourself first? The savings calculator shows its assumptions on the page, and every per-tool comparison is on the comparisons page.
What we're not claiming
- No average saving, no percentage, no headline number. You'll notice there isn't one anywhere on this page. What you'd save depends entirely on your stack, and any figure we put here would be invented.
- We don't get into your accounts. You choose what to send. We don't connect to your billing systems, we don't ask for admin credentials, and we don't need either to do this.
- We're not a licensing broker. We don't negotiate with your vendors on your behalf and we don't resell anybody's licenses. If the right move is to ring your account manager, we'll say so and you'll make the call.
- We won't present a competitor's price as fact when we couldn't verify it. Where we could read a like-for-like monthly US-dollar rate off the vendor's own page, we cite it and date it. Where we could not, the number is either labeled Estimated with the reasoning shown, or left off entirely for you to fill in. What we never do is print an unlabeled figure we could not stand behind.
- No customer stories. Olympia is new, so there are no real customers to write up and no customer numbers on this page. The seven worked examples on our case studies page are exactly that — worked examples, labeled as illustrative, built from published prices rather than from anybody's actual bill.
