Catch duplicate and overlapping tools
Two teams buy two tools that do the same job. A trial never gets cancelled after the "official" tool is chosen. Shadow IT quietly stacks up. Duplicate and overlapping software subscriptions are some of the easiest SaaS spend to cut — once you can see them. CostOrbit groups your tools by what they do and flags where you're paying twice for the same capability.
Spot the overlap you didn't know you had
CostOrbit looks across your subscriptions and flags categories where you're running more than one tool — two project trackers, three storage tools, a pile of overlapping design apps. Overlap is detected by category, so when a category holds multiple subscriptions it surfaces as a potential duplicate. Generic catch-all buckets like "Other" are excluded so they don't false-alarm. You see the redundant stack in one place instead of discovering it during an audit.
Know what consolidating would save
Seeing the overlap is half of it; the other half is knowing it's worth acting on. For each overlapping category, CostOrbit estimates the annual spend on every tool except the one you'd keep — the money on the table if you consolidated. The number is the combined annual cost of all but the largest subscription in the category, so the decision comes with a figure attached instead of a hunch.
Consolidate before the next renewal hits
The best time to drop a redundant tool is before it renews for another year. Each flagged tool links to its renewal date and cancellation deadline, so you can plan the migration and cancel in time. Cut the duplicate, and the saving lands in your realized-savings report as proof the consolidation worked.
