15-Person Digital Marketing Agency

Full Subscription Audit + Cost Optimization Strategy Β· Q2 2025

$14,200
saved in year one

The Situation

The agency had grown from 3 to 15 people over 3 years, adding tools reactively as teams requested them. By 2025 they were paying for 23 separate software subscriptions β€” many with seat counts for employees who had left months earlier.

The founder estimated their software spend at around $40,000/year. The actual figure was $52,400. Over 60% was either unused or duplicated by another tool they were already paying for.

"We knew we were probably overpaying, but we had no idea by how much. LicenseEdge found savings we didn't even know to look for. The ROI on their fee was obvious within the first month."

"I thought I had a handle on our software costs. LicenseEdge showed me we were paying for tools we hadn't used in over a year. Embarrassing β€” and expensive. Fixed now."

"As finance manager I could see the subscriptions piling up but had no way to know which were actually being used. The audit gave me the data I needed to make cuts β€” without guessing."

"The comparison of what we were paying vs. what we should be paying for each vendor was eye-opening. We renegotiated two contracts the same week. Immediate ROI."

"We'd been meaning to review our subscriptions for two years. LicenseEdge did it in a week and found nearly Β£8,000 in annual savings we were sitting on without realising."

"I was skeptical at first β€” how much could we really be wasting? Turns out, quite a lot. The subscription audit paid for itself many times over before the engagement even ended."

"What I appreciated most was that they didn't just tell us what to cut β€” they told us why, with data. That made it easy to get buy-in from the rest of the leadership team."
