Run Free Audit
Built for software & AI spend decisions

AI tools multiplied. Your budget didn’t. Decide what stays.

Paste your subscriptions and AI tools — AlignCube scores each one keep, cut, review, or consolidate, with reasoning and missing-evidence prompts behind every call. You walk away with a cut list you can verify. Monitor adds owner routing and a running tally of the savings you actually capture.

Paste your stack. See the shape of your spend.

Drop in the tools you pay for (one per line, or straight from an invoice). The preview groups possible overlaps and totals the spend you listed — a quick heuristic from names alone, not the AI analysis. Your first free audit runs the real AI-scored cut list.

This instant preview runs entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your machine until you choose to run the full audit. Full audits are stored privately in your account. Self-serve account deletion removes active AlignCube data after billing closes; limited retention follows the Privacy Policy. Security · Privacy

Product proof

Cut list, evidence, and owner route in one loop.

The example below is the product path: score the stack, ask why, move the decision into your Queue, and keep the outcome attached to the tool record.

Reviewable $1,326/mo
Identified to cut $1,026/mo
Captured $0

Reviewable includes items that still need evidence. Identified to cut excludes the $300 Review item. Captured stays at $0 until an approved change is confirmed complete.

Why should Finance trust this cut?
Copy.ai is approval-ready because the evidence is complete. The invoice confirms spend, the owner list assigns Marketing, and submitted usage notes show overlap with Jasper. Send this to Marketing and Finance before cancelling.

Runway ML is blocked. The spend is small, usage is stale, and no owner is assigned. Add usage notes and owner confirmation before acting.

What about Notion AI — is it worth keeping?
Two pieces: active-user evidence and owner confirmation. Keep it in review until usage and owner are confirmed, then generate a decision memo with owner approval and renewal timing attached.

How it works
01 · Intake
Upload evidence

Start with a tool list, invoice, SSO export, owner list, or renewal table. No vendor login required.

02 · Score + evidence
Get the cut list

AlignCube separates cut-ready tools from review items and blocked decisions, explains the reasoning, and names the evidence still needed.

03 · Route
Route approvals

Each recommendation lands in the right lane: owner, finance, security, ready, or blocked.

04 · Capture
Record the outcome

Generate the memo, preserve blockers, log approvals, and count savings only after a completed outcome is confirmed.

The Problem

The hard part is not finding tools. It is proving which ones can be cut.

Invoices show spend, not decisions

Finance can see the charge. They usually cannot see the owner, usage, renewal date, or whether another tool already does the same job.

Evidence is scattered

SSO exports, invoices, contracts, security notes, and owner lists live in different places, so every cut becomes a manual investigation.

Cuts stall without a clear owner

A tool looks cuttable. Nobody knows who approves it. Finance is waiting on the owner. The owner is waiting on Security. It stays on the invoice another year.

Security & Trust

Your data is yours. Full stop.

Your data stays isolated, recommendations identify missing evidence, and recorded decisions remain reviewable while the account exists.

Not used for model training

AlignCube does not use your audit data to train models. Anthropic's commercial API does not use inputs or outputs to train models by default.

Protected in transit

HTTPS/TLS on every connection. Passwords are hashed and access is session-authenticated.

Per-customer isolation

Your audit data is isolated per account. No shared data between customers.

Your record survives a downgrade

The current in-app governance record remains available if you return to Free.

No action without a human owner

AlignCube can recommend a cut, but the owner or approver still confirms the evidence before anyone acts.

No inflated savings

Every estimate is capped at the tool's known monthly cost. Unconfirmed amounts remain reviewable, not captured; captured savings reflect a user-recorded completed outcome.

Keep the decision record reviewable

Current evidence, notes, memos, approval state, and recorded outcomes stay attached to the tool while the account exists, so the next review starts from the record.

No vendor commissions

AlignCube does not accept vendor commissions, referral fees, kickbacks, or paid placement. Recommendations are paid for by the customer, not the vendors being scored.

Compare

Make the cut-or-keep call first — before procurement, governance, and renewals slow it down.

SaaS management, procurement, spend controls, and AI governance platforms all solve real problems. AlignCube owns the first operating decision: what to keep, cut, review, or consolidate right now, with the evidence path attached — and no commissions from any tool it scores.

FAQ

Everything you need before you sign up.

What do I need to get started?
Just a list of the tools you use — or a copy of an invoice, a renewal calendar, or a spreadsheet you already have. No vendor logins. No SSO integration required. Paste what you have and the cut list runs immediately. Monitor lets you attach and track evidence as you find it.
What does the free audit actually show?
Every tool gets scored Keep / Cut / Review / Consolidate. You see stack health, reviewable spend, overlaps, and the likely cut list. Your first audit is scored live by AI; later free re-runs use instant local heuristics. Monitor adds the evidence path, owner routing, approval packets, decision memos, captured savings, and full change history.
How is this different from SaaS-management platforms?
Zylo, Torii, Productiv, CloudEagle, and similar platforms are built around connected systems — finance, SSO, app, and usage integrations feed their analysis (per each vendor's own docs). AlignCube starts from a pasted spend list: scored cut list, a named owner on every decision, and captured savings tracked — no integrations required. They can be used together.
Can I cancel Monitor anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. Your audit history and decision log stay readable on the free tier after you cancel, and you can export all your account data at any time. The full audit packet, with per-tool reasoning, stays a Monitor feature.
