Somebody has to manage all the software. Congratulations — it's you.

Good — that means you already know the problem. Keep it. The issue is what a spreadsheet can't do: it doesn't watch renewals, doesn't capture new purchases from receipts, doesn't flag two tools doing the same job, and it was stale a month after you made it. The spreadsheet is a photo. Stackgenie is a security camera. Rebuilding your sheet in Stackgenie takes about ten minutes with the App Library.

We store only what you give us: tool names, costs, renewal dates, and the names, emails, and roles of the people you track. We never connect to your bank, never log into your other tools, and never monitor what your employees do — Stackgenie has no agents, no browser extensions, and no access to anyone’s accounts. Your data lives in a Postgres database where each organization’s records are isolated by row-level security, and every connection to the app is encrypted in transit. We’re a new product — we don’t have SOC 2 certification yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise — but your data is never sold, and your full export is one click away if you ever want to leave.

Nothing bad — nothing is ever deleted, and adding tools is never blocked. Receipts and requests never count against your cap until you confirm them, and archived tools never count at all. Crossing ten confirmed tools is actually the good part: it unlocks your 14-day full-Pro trial. The free tier ends where a real stack begins — that’s the point.

No — and that’s the whole design. There is nothing for anyone else to adopt, install, or log into. The request link and receipt forwarding work without accounts; offboarding works on people who never had one. If you can get yourself to use it, you’ve achieved full rollout.

Monthly billing, cancel anytime, 30-day money-back on Pro. You can export your full stack and savings ledger as CSV or PDF on the way out, and your records survive on the free tier — first ten tools stay live, the rest go read-only, nothing is deleted. We built our product around offboarding software you no longer want; we’d be hypocrites to make ours hard to leave.

Two ways. First, rollout: those platforms want your purchasing flow, your cards, or your whole org onboarded before they’re useful. Stackgenie wants one person and an afternoon. Second, price: flat $39/mo against category entry plans that typically run $100–$250+ a month. They’re platforms for IT departments. This is a command center for the person who IS the IT department.

You don’t have to take that on faith — that’s what the free tier is for. You see your own flagged-waste number on your real stack before any payment, and the trial shows you Pro working on it for 14 days, also before any payment. The math tends to be short: one caught ~$470 auto-renewal covers a year of Pro; one cancelled $40/mo zombie covers a quarter. But it’s your number on the screen that decides it, not ours.

Fifteen tools is exactly the territory: big enough to have zombies, overlaps, and renewal ambushes, too small to justify a $200/mo platform or an IT hire. The free tier maps your first ten. You’ll know within one session whether the other five are worth $39.
