The SaaS Tax
SaaS pricing rose at 5x the rate of inflation.
You're not imagining it. Your software bills are growing faster than everything else — and 30–53% of those licenses aren't even being used.
8–12%
Average YoY SaaS price increase
While G7 consumer inflation hovered at 2.3%, SaaS vendors raised prices 5x faster. PE-owned vendors went up to 900%.
30–53%
SaaS licenses that go unused
The average org wastes $18M/year on software nobody opens. You're paying for ghost users and features you'll never touch.
$500
Salesforce top-tier per seat/mo
Double what it was 5 years ago. For a 100-person team, that's $600K/year — for a CRM you use 5% of.
The compound cost of doing nothing

How 86 SaaS Works
From SaaS tax to owned asset. Four steps.
We handle everything. You just tell us what tools are costing you too much.
Audit
We analyze your SaaS stack, identify the tools costing you the most relative to the value they deliver, and rank them by replacement ROI.
Prioritize
Together, we pick the highest-impact targets. Workflow automation, internal admin tools, and BI dashboards — the categories where custom builds save the most.
Build
AI-assisted development means we move 2–4x faster than traditional dev shops. Your custom tool is built to your exact requirements. No feature bloat.
Deploy & Own
Deployed on your infrastructure. Full source code ownership. Complete documentation. Optional maintenance retainer. Your tool, your data, your savings.
Pricing
Transparent pricing. No per-seat surprises.
Choose the tier that matches your tool's complexity. Or use our alternative model: 50% of your current annual SaaS spend for the tool we replace.

What Gets Replaced
The 7 SaaS categories under the most pressure.
Based on Retool's 2026 survey of 817 builders. These are the tools teams are replacing first — and where the ROI is strongest.
Workflow Automation
Per-task pricing adds up fast. Custom workflows run on your infrastructure for pennies.
Internal Admin & Ops
Paying enterprise prices for tools only 12 people use. Build exactly what your team needs.
BI & Reporting
$95/user/month for dashboards your team checks twice a week. Own your analytics layer.
CRM & Sales Tools
Salesforce charges up to $500/seat/month. You use 5 of its 100 features. Build the 5.
Form Builders & Intake
Low complexity, high ROI. Custom forms that feed directly into your systems.
Project Tracking
Generic project tools force your process into their boxes. Flip it.
Customer Support
