Overpriced SaaS Tools
Small teams and businesses overpay for bloated subscription SaaS, so they rebuild tools in-house or seek cheaper alternatives.
In their words
it's currently "only" a $10k/year subscription for a parser for special fabrication data
I wanted to buy a single weight of a 5 weight family and was presented with a reoccuring annual fee of $384 or a perpetual license of $1,728.
the whole subscription and « as a service » are the exact things i want to move away from adobe for.
I can build my own solution that is customized to the way my business operates
I had to pay for basic work tools like international calling and contact management software out of my own pocket.
I have 5-10 users that are screaming they need office.
All of this to avoid a fifty dollar monthly bill.
Every "mid-market" planning tool I've priced out this year has actually meant "enterprise pricing with a smaller sales team."
management doesn't want to pay for subscriptions anymore, trying to just see whats good out there for on-prem systems that isn't overly costly
I add to cart, click buy and I get "Something's gone wrong".
I'm adding technical complexity just because the pricing model pushes me in that direction.
That could save me from those companies wanting expensive yearly subscriptions to use their reports.
other clubs are still buying the SaaS-solution for 250$ a year, while having more members
A company had a very specific scheduling need, they needed to move about 8-15 staff around with a bunch of different shifts

Where they talk
- r/SaaS
- r/sysadmin
- r/smallbusiness
- r/ClaudeCode
- r/ClaudeAI
- r/smallbusinessUS
- r/vibecoding
- r/Netsuite
Tools they use today
- Claude
- Salesforce
- Excel
- NetSuite
- DocuSign
- Retool
- Shopify
- WordPress
Why those fall short
- management refuses third-party subscriptions, wants to own code
- monthly fees add up for trivial features
- fonts get removed from Adobe's library, breaking documents
- cheap tools top out at basic inventory; enterprise tools cost six figures
- subscription model is the exact thing they want to escape
