What SaaS expenses do you wish you could reduce?
What are your biggest SaaS related expenses? which ones do you want to reduce?
1. SEMRush and AHREFS - it sucks having both. They're both amazing but they do very similar things (neither 100% replaces the other).
2. Trello - I hate trello. It's bulky and irritating. I'm slowly migrating to AirTable, which is much better.
I spend ~$1.5k/mo on Heroku (~27% of monthly revenue). I'm using 2–4 (auto scaling) Performance-M dynos because I was tired of sharing resources and having spotty response times (as were my customers). Once I moved from Standard-2X to Performance-M, my response times dropped from ~500ms avg w/ random timeouts to <90ms avg w/ no timeouts, but my costs skyrocketed. I want a managed hosting provider that rivals Heroku but doesn't make me feel like I have to pay an arm and a leg to get decent service. I don't want to, nor do I have the time to, move to and manage infra on AWS yet.
Heroku. Used to be paying around 1,500 month, but with some major surgery got it down to ~$750. You can't really go any lower without becoming a "hobby" app.
Splunk. We spend so much there and we want to process even more data with it. I could retire in short order on the amount of money we spend on them.
Not really saas but lots of people want to reduce their AWS bills
