Tech Stack Consulting

Most businesses have tools they don't use, contracts that auto-renew, and no simple view of what the stack actually costs. We change that. Many clients then move into [SaaS migration](/services/saas-migration) once the roadmap is clear. If you're evaluating private code hosting, our [self-hosted Git overview](/services/self-hosted-git/) covers Gitea, Gogs, and GitLab alternatives.

What usually goes wrong

-Multiple tools that do the same job
-Per-seat pricing that grows faster than headcount
-No clear view of what each subscription actually costs
-Renewals that creep up every year
-Data stuck in tools you no longer want to use

What you get

+A written map of every tool, who uses it, and what it costs
+Open source alternatives matched to your actual workflow
+A migration plan you can act on immediately
+Advice on what to cut, consolidate, or replace

Deliverables

  • 1Subscription audit — every product, seat count, renewal date, and annual cost
  • 1Usage review — which tools are essential, underused, or redundant
  • 1Alternative shortlist — open source options mapped to each tool’s function
  • 1Cost comparison — current spend vs self-hosted or simpler alternatives
  • 1Priority roadmap — what to change first, what can wait, and estimated effort

How it works

1
Share your current tools, invoices, and login access where possible.
2
We review usage, pricing, and alternatives. No guesswork.
3
You get a written report and a shortlist of replacements.

Who this is for

*UK businesses paying for 3 or more SaaS tools
*Finance directors or operations managers with budget responsibility
*Founders who want control over data and costs
*Teams that have outgrown off-the-shelf pricing tiers

If you want hosted implementation rather than advice only, we also provide managed deployment support for self-hosted stacks.
