Ask HN: What's your total monthly SaaS spend? What products are you using?

49 pointsby tanmaydesai89over 5 years ago
Recently I was looking at how much we spend on SaaS, and it made me wonder -<p>For those who don&#x27;t mind sharing, what&#x27;s your total monthly SaaS spend? Where?<p>Here&#x27;re some SaaS expenses that I can share off the top of my head: (amount in USD)<p>- Video Calling&#x2F;Screensharing: 60<p>- Internal Docs: 80 (docs, spreadsheet)<p>- Emails: 60<p>- Team Communications: 60<p>- Customer Success: 90<p>- Survey&#x2F;Feedback: 35<p>- Calendar Scheduling: 30<p>- CRM: 90<p>- Email Client: 60<p>- Lead Enhancement: 50 (get more details about given email&#x2F;domain)<p>- Accounting: 70<p>- Private Beta Launch: 75<p>- Project Management: Free<p>- Analytics: Free<p>Total -&gt; ~750 USD<p><i>+ PLUS</i> Few hundred dollars every month, while testing out a few SaaS, that requires credit card upfront, which you forget to cancel. (Q2 - Does this happen to you often?)<p><i>PS.</i> • This does not include tech expenses. I&#x27;ll sync up with our tech team and update soon.

This data would be easier to put into context if anyone who replies also includes the number of employees that are supported by their SaaS budget.

Yup, about the same amount for about the same set of tools.
