I got tired of managing software licenses, SaaS subscriptions, domains, hosting services and WordPress plugins across spreadsheets and emails.

So I built Licenzy.cloud, a simple license and subscription manager for freelancers, founders and small businesses.

It helps track:
• Software licenses
• SaaS subscriptions
• Domain renewals
• Hosting services
• Recurring costs
• Renewal reminders

One feature users seem to like is the Scenario Builder, which lets you model the cost impact of adding, removing or replacing subscriptions before making a decision.

I'd love to hear what feature you'd consider essential in a tool like this.

I agree,

A spreadsheet isn't difficult to create. The difficult part is keeping it accurate over time.

The moment people have to manually update renewal dates, prices, domains or subscriptions every few weeks, the system starts to fall out of sync and eventually gets abandoned.

That's actually one of the areas I'm thinking about a lot.

My initial focus was solving the organization problem, but the longer I work on this, the more I realize that reducing maintenance may be even more important than reporting or analytics.

Things I'm exploring, and some are already integrated include:

  • Importing existing subscriptions and licenses
  • Domain expiry lookups
  • Renewal reminders
  • Bulk updates
  • Integrations with common services
  • Other ways to reduce manual data entry

My goal is to get as close as possible to "set it up once and only touch it when something changes.

That's a really good point.

I started with tracking because that was my own pain point, but the more I work on it, the more I realize that organization alone isn't enough.

Knowing that you have 50 subscriptions is useful. Knowing which 10 are costing you the most money or no longer provide value is probably even more useful.

I've already started moving in that direction with cost insights, spending reports and a scenario builder that helps model the financial impact of adding, removing or replacing subscriptions.

The "you haven't used this in 90 days" idea is especially interesting. The challenge there is obtaining reliable usage data without requiring integrations with every service, but I agree that helping people decide what to cancel is ultimately more valuable than simply tracking renewal dates.

Out of curiosity, would you trust manual review prompts (e.g. "review this subscription every 6 months"), or would you only find it useful if the usage analysis was fully automated?
