AuditedStack

The software you're about to pay for, checked by an accountant first.

Agencies, consultants and creators lose money on software the same way: the plan on the left of the pricing page isn't the one they end up on, the fees are metered on top, and by the time it's obvious, the list and the products are locked inside. AuditedStack reads the pricing pages the way an accountant reads a contract, prints the real monthly cost in USD and your currency with the date it was checked, and tells you which one to buy and which one to walk past.

Agency CRM and automation platforms

You run an agency or you're about to. You need one system for client pipelines, bookings, email and SMS, and you'd like to bill clients for it. Here's what that costs on the plan you'll actually end up on, and which of these three you should not buy.

Course, funnel and membership platforms

You've got something to teach and people who'll pay. The platform decision is a two-year decision, because your list and your products will live inside it. Here's the real monthly cost of each, the fees on top, and the one that's right for where you are now.

Email platforms for creators and newsletters

Your list is the one asset no platform can take from you, so pick the tool that's cheap while it's small and doesn't punish you when it's big. Here's what each one costs on monthly billing at 1,000 subscribers (the vendor pages lead with the discounted annual figure), how fast the price climbs, what's actually free, and which one to skip.

Quote calculators and client intake tools

You want a prospect to price their own job on your website, answer one qualifying question and land in your inbox with the number attached. On their published plans, all four tools on this page can build that; they differ on what you pay to take the vendor's logo off, how they count your traffic, and where the lead ends up. Set your own numbers below and see which plan actually fits.

Proposal and e-signature tools

A signature on an existing PDF, a proposal that sells the job, and a document that needs a manager's sign-off before it leaves the building are three different purchases. Two of the three can be free. Price your own workflow below, then read why.

Why an accountant is doing this

AuditedStack is written by a Chartered Accountant with fifteen years inside finance systems, the kind of career where you sign off on more software than most people evaluate in a lifetime and watch the same mistake cost businesses of every size: buying on the demo, paying on the invoice.

So every tool here gets the treatment we'd give it for a client: the plan you'll actually need, what's metered on top, what it locks you into, and one plain recommendation. The method is a real account, the same test job on every platform and our own screenshots; where a test isn't finished yet the section is labelled documentation-based and built from the vendor's published plans, and we say so rather than pretend. Every price is checked against the vendor's page and the check date is printed under every table. If a number's wrong, tell us and it gets fixed.
