Overview

Subscriptions creep across a company quietly. A trial you forgot turned into an annual charge, two tools do the same job, you pay for 20 seats with three people active. The first audit usually uncovers $100–500 a month in waste. Nobody reconciles receipts by hand — it takes hours, so the money leaks for months.

SaaS Spend Auditor is a ready-made AI agent for the ASCN platform that takes subscription tracking off your plate:

• 📥 Reads 12 months of Gmail — pulls vendor, amount, billing cycle and renewal date from receipts, invoices and renewal notices.
• 🏦 Parses your bank statement CSV — catches recurring charges with no receipt and cross-checks them against email so nothing slips through.
• 📊 Keeps an audit sheet in Google Sheets — vendor, plan, seats, annual cost, renewal date and verdict all in one place.
• 🚩 Flags duplicates and zombies — two tools in the same category and charges with no sign of use get marked.
• ✂️ Gives a keep / cut / renegotiate verdict — one line of reasoning and yearly savings per subscription, plus drafts cancellation and renegotiation emails for your approval.

You run it from plain chat in ASCN or Telegram. Ask "what are we spending" and get a summary in seconds. Nothing to assemble: the agent connects your services on request.

How the SaaS spend auditing agent works

No coding needed. You run it from plain chat.

1. Install from the marketplace. Open the agent page, click "Use template" — it lands in your account in under five minutes.
2. Connect services in chat. Type "Connect Gmail and Google Sheets," the agent gives an OAuth link, one click to authorize. It reads mail by billing queries only, never your whole inbox.
3. Set it up for your company. Tell it your team size, report currency and the services it must never touch. It remembers this and won't cut anything critical without your word.
4. First audit. The agent works through email and your statement, fills the sheet and sends the result: subscriptions found, annual spend, top costs and potential savings.
5. Scheduled tasks. Every day at 09:00 it checks renewal dates and alerts you 14 and 3 days out. On the 1st it sends a monthly view with the delta and what you've already saved.
6. Run it from one chat. Ask for "a cancellation email for Notion" and the draft is ready in a minute. Send a fresh statement and it reconciles and updates the sheet.

Why it beats a part-time finance hire

• Pays for itself on the first run. The Start plan is $29/month (as of 06/12/2026). Saving $100 a month is $1,200 a year against $348 in subscription — a 30–100x return. Current pricing at ascn.ai/en/pricing.
• Watches renewals for you. An annual auto-charge gets noticed after it hits. The agent warns you 14 and 3 days ahead, so you can cancel or renegotiate in time.
• Every number has a source. No invented amounts: a receipt or a statement line means a row in the sheet, otherwise the agent marks it "unconfirmed."
• Ready-made emails instead of writing from scratch. Cancellation and price-cut drafts in English and Russian — you just review and hit Send.

What users get

Across rollouts, the first audit uncovers $100–500 a month in waste: zombie subscriptions, duplicate tools and paid-for empty seats. After that the agent holds the savings — no renewal slips by unnoticed.

Results depend on how many subscriptions you run, how complete your statement is and how clearly you marked critical services. The agent handles the search and the tracking; the size of the savings comes from your verdict decisions.

Rollout statistics

Digital agency — marketing services

• Connected: Gmail and Google Sheets for a team of 15

Figures are illustrative, show expected impact and depend on your niche and setup.

What's included

• A ready, configured agent: role, safety rules and the subscription-hunt and verdict skills are already written, install in under five minutes.
• Step-by-step onboarding: the agent walks you through setup in 10 minutes — from connecting Gmail to a first full audit with the savings total.
• Skills and knowledge base: the audit sheet schema, service categories for spotting duplicates, and cancellation and renegotiation email templates in English and Russian.
• A dedicated manager: helps tailor the agent to your case (on the Personal plan and above).
• Private community: help from other users and fast support answers.

While subscriptions quietly drain your budget, hand the tracking to an agent that counts every one and never sleeps before a renewal. 🔥🔥🔥

Set it up once — the first audit shows how much you're overpaying, and from there the agent keeps that number in check.

FAQ

Do I need coding skills?

No. The agent installs from the marketplace and is set up in plain chat: you say what you need, it connects services and creates scheduled tasks on its own.

Is it safe to connect my email and financial data?

Connections run through official OAuth, tokens sit in encrypted storage and never reach chats or logs. Financial data lives in your Google Sheet, not in the agent's memory. It never asks for full card numbers, CVV or passwords — the sheet holds only the last 4 digits.

Will the agent cancel subscriptions for me?

No, and that's a deliberate limit. The agent prepares a cancellation email or a step-by-step guide, but the final click is yours. No email goes to a vendor without your explicit approval.

What if I don't have a bank statement?

The audit runs on Gmail alone — about 80% of subscriptions, everyone who emails a receipt. Add the CSV statement later: drop the file in chat and the agent reconciles it against the sheet.

Can I tune the agent to my company?

Yes. Through the IDENTITY.md and SOUL.md files, skills and knowledge base you set team size, report currency, critical services and verdict rules.

Which services does the agent work with?

Gmail and Google Sheets are required. Telegram is recommended for renewal alerts and the monthly view. Google Drive is optional — a folder for statements. Accounting tools can be added via a custom MCP server.

How do I track what the agent does?

The Tasks section shows schedule, status and run history, and alerts and monthly views arrive in ASCN chat or Telegram.

Can I switch the channel from Telegram to something else?

Yes. Connect the channel you want; the agent's logic stays the same.
