Small businesses in India typically pay for 10-25 SaaS subscriptions covering communication, design, development, cloud storage, and accounting. Without a centralised tracker, SaaS spend grows unchecked through silent auto-renewals. Eyespender's Team and Enterprise plans provide a shared dashboard for tracking business subscriptions, managing renewals, and monitoring team-level spend.
Why small businesses need subscription tracking
A typical Indian startup with 5-10 employees pays for a mix of SaaS tools across multiple categories. These charges are distributed across the company credit card, founder's personal card, and occasionally employee reimbursements - making the total SaaS spend extremely difficult to track without a dedicated system.
Common problems small businesses face:
- Paying for licences of tools that no one currently uses
- Duplicate tools that overlap in functionality (two project management tools, two video call tools)
- Annual subscriptions renewing without a budget review
- No visibility of total monthly SaaS spend until the credit card bill arrives
- Subscription credentials shared insecurely over WhatsApp or email
Common SaaS tools Indian startups subscribe to
| Category | Common tools | Approx cost/month |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace | Rs 500 - 2,000 |
| Design | Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva Pro | Rs 800 - 5,000 |
| Project management | Notion, Linear, Jira, Asana | Rs 500 - 2,500 |
| Cloud / hosting | AWS, GCP, Vercel, Cloudflare | Rs 1,000 - 10,000+ |
| Accounting | Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Razorpay | Rs 500 - 2,000 |
| Marketing | HubSpot, Mailchimp, SEMrush | Rs 1,500 - 8,000 |
Eyespender Team plan for small businesses
Eyespender's Team plan (Rs 99/month) is designed for small businesses that need shared subscription visibility without the complexity of enterprise software. It includes:
- Up to 6 team members on one account
- Shared subscription dashboard with team-level spend analytics
- Shared cost splits - assign subscriptions to specific members or cost centres
- Encrypted credential vault for securely storing shared tool logins
- Renewal reminders sent to the account owner 7, 3, and 1 day before each billing date
- Monthly and yearly spend totals automatically calculated
The cost of untracked SaaS subscriptions
Research consistently shows that businesses overestimate their SaaS utilisation. The typical small business pays for SaaS tools at 40-60% actual utilisation - meaning 40-60% of SaaS spend goes to tools that are rarely or never opened. Without a centralised tracker, there is no mechanism to identify these unused subscriptions before the next annual renewal.
For a startup spending Rs 15,000/month on SaaS, this translates to Rs 6,000-9,000 per month in waste - Rs 72,000-1,08,000 per year.
Conclusion
Small businesses in India need a dedicated subscription management tool to maintain visibility of SaaS spend, manage renewals, and prevent waste. Eyespender's Team plan provides a shared dashboard, credential vault, renewal reminders, and spend analytics for up to 6 members at Rs 99 per month - less than the cost of one hour of wasted SaaS spend for most startups.
