Find every subscription you're actually paying for
SaaS subscription discovery is the automatic process of surfacing every software tool a company pays for — including the ones no one remembers buying. ClearSpend connects to Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and your company cards to detect every recurring charge, who owns it, when it renews, and whether anyone still uses it. No spreadsheets, no manual audit.

Where ClearSpend discovers subscriptions
Most subscriptions never make it onto a single list. ClearSpend reads the places they actually leave a trace — so nothing stays hidden.
Gmail & email receipts
Scans invoices, receipts, and renewal notices to catch tools bought on any card — even personal reimbursements.
Google Drive & documents
Reads contracts, order forms, and vendor agreements to capture terms, owners, and renewal dates.
Slack
Detects the apps and connected integrations employees add on their own, without going through IT.
Company cards
Matches recurring card charges to vendors so subscriptions never slip through expense reports unnoticed.
AI tools
Flags the fast-growing set of AI subscriptions — ChatGPT, Claude, and more — that are often expensed individually.

The cost of subscriptions you can't see
Why does hidden SaaS spend add up so fast?
Because most of it is never reviewed. The average enterprise wastes roughly 34% of its SaaS budget on sprawl — unused licenses, duplicate tools, and shadow IT purchases no one is watching. Discovery is the first step to reclaiming it. (VendorBenchmark)
How many subscriptions are companies actually running?
More than they think. The average company holds around 275 SaaS applications, and IT teams typically underestimate the real count by nearly 2x — because so many tools are bought outside their view. (Zylo)
How much of that software goes unused?
About 53% of SaaS licenses sit inactive in any given 30-day period. Without discovery, you keep paying for seats and tools that no one has opened in months. (Zylo)
How much SaaS is invisible to IT?
Roughly one-third of a company's applications are shadow IT — purchased by individuals or teams outside IT's oversight. Automatic discovery is the only reliable way to find them. (Zylo)
Frequently asked questions
What is SaaS subscription discovery?
SaaS subscription discovery is the automatic process of finding every software subscription a company pays for — including tools bought outside IT, on personal cards, or through free trials that converted to paid. Instead of a manual audit, a discovery tool like ClearSpend connects to your email, documents, Slack, and cards to surface every recurring charge, its owner, its cost, and its renewal date.
How is subscription discovery different from expense tracking?
Expense tracking tells you what was charged; subscription discovery tells you what you're subscribed to. ClearSpend goes beyond card data by reading receipts, contracts, and app installs — so it catches tools that never hit a corporate card, identifies duplicates, and knows when each subscription renews, not just when it was last billed.
Can ClearSpend find subscriptions bought on personal cards?
Yes. Because ClearSpend scans Gmail receipts and Google Drive documents — not just company cards — it detects subscriptions expensed through reimbursements or bought on personal cards, which are a major source of hidden and untracked SaaS spend.
How long does discovery take to set up?
Minutes. You connect Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and your cards in a few clicks, and ClearSpend surfaces your first discovered subscriptions almost immediately — no IT project, no spreadsheet, and no manual inventory to build.
Is my data safe?
ClearSpend uses read-only connections. It reads the signals it needs to discover subscriptions — receipts, contracts, installs, and charges — without making changes to your accounts, and it never sends messages or moves money on your behalf.
