Find the leaks in your software stack
Stack Smart is a subscription leak detector for established creators and solo businesses who know they’re paying for tools they don’t fully use — and want clarity without guesswork.
No further subscriptions required. No judgment.
Just clear signals and better decisions.
What this is
Stack Smart is a diagnostic for your software stack.
It shows you:
which tools you’re paying for but not using
where money is quietly leaking each month
which subscriptions deserve a review, and which don’t
how your stack is behaving, not how it “should” look
It’s designed to help you make clear, confident decisions about what to keep, review, or cancel, without relying on spreadsheets, spirals, or second-guessing.
What this isn't
This isn’t a budgeting tool.
It won’t tell you how much you should spend or shame you for what you do.
It isn’t a productivity system or optimisation framework.
No funnels. No dashboards pretending to run your business.
It isn’t judgmental.
A large stack doesn’t mean a bad business. Growth creates complexity, which makes it visible.
And it's not for beginners.
If you only use two or three tools, it will feel obvious.
Stack Smart is for people with many tools in their stacks, and decisions to make about their use & need.
How it Works
1. Quick Scan (5–10 minutes)
Start by adding only the tools you know you’re paying for, especially the most expensive ones. You don’t need to be thorough on day one. The goal is to get immediate visibility, not perfection.
This alone is enough to surface:
unused subscriptions
monthly waste
early decision signals
2. Leak Summary
Once your tools are in, Stack Smart automatically highlights:
tools you didn’t use this month
money spent on unused tools
long-term leaks based on last login
your overall Leak Status
No interpretation required. You’re looking at facts, not opinions.
3. Make Decisions (Keep · Review · Cancel)
Each tool is clearly flagged so you can decide.
Keep — earning its place
Review — needs attention
Cancel — no longer worth paying for
You’re not asked to optimise or overhaul anything, just to make the next sensible decision.
4. Optional Deep Clean
When you’re ready, go back to the full tool list and scan for:
forgotten subscriptions
tools you “meant to use”
overlaps you didn’t notice before
This second pass often uncovers the quiet leaks, the ones that slip past bank statements.
What You End Up With
✔ Fewer subscriptions hanging over your head
✔ Clear decisions instead of lingering uncertainty
✔ A stack that reflects how your business actually runs — not how it used to
No guilt. No rules. Just clarity.
Who this is for (and who it isn’t for)
This is for you if…
You’ve been in business long enough to have a real software stack
You know you’re paying for tools you don’t fully use — but you’re not sure which ones
You’ve grown, pivoted, experimented… and your tools haven’t caught up
You want clarity, not another system to maintain
You’d rather make a few confident decisions than endlessly “optimise”
This works especially well for:
course creators
coaches
consultants
solo operators and small teams who have layered tools over time and want a calmer, more intentional setup
This probably isn’t for you if…
You only use two or three tools
You enjoy manually tracking every expense already
You want someone to tell you exactly what tools to use
You’re looking for a full productivity or finance system
You’re just starting out and don’t yet have subscription sprawl
Stack Smart isn’t about control or perfection.
It’s about seeing clearly what’s already there.
'Stack Smart' makes the decision VISIBLE.
This isn’t about forcing you to say no.
It’s about giving you enough clarity to finally say YES - calmly.
✔ Yes to keeping what works.
✔ Yes to letting go of what doesn’t.
✔ Yes to a quieter, simpler stack.
