Free stack audit · no login · stays on your device
Paying twice for AI tools? Find out in two minutes.
Pick the AI tools you already pay for. Enter what they cost, or mark spend unknown. You get a keep/cut call on each one, the tools that duplicate the same job, and a score for how efficiently you spend. Nothing is submitted to a server.
Start the free audit See Premium keep/cut pack Support fees
Free and instant. Keep, Test, Cut is a separate free email. Premium is a separate paid option. You do not need either one to run this audit.
All 108 directory tools are selectable. Official pricing notes are dated source text, not auto-filled bills. The cost calculator’s $20 / $35 planning heuristic is not used here.
Select the tools you already have
Search the directory or add a custom tool. Limit 16 tools so share links stay short.
1-tap preset stacks fill published point prices and open the Keep/Cut receipt. Google AI Pro is $19.99, so the generalist stack is $59.99. Agency Automation uses Zapier Team at $69/month billed annually and Notion Plus at $10, which is a limited AI trial. Cursor’s published new-user seat is Premium at $30, not a Pro sticker. Perplexity and Zapier stay unknown where the checked page has no single consumer sticker.

Enter spend and how you use each tool
Actual spend is whatever you type. “Free + paid” in the directory is not treated as a paid bill.
Your audit
Money and affiliation do not buy a recommendation.
Affiliate or sponsor status never changes the score, inclusion, tools that do the same job, badges, or Keep / Cut / Replace / Review / Trial first advice.
Private by default
Share links live in the URL fragment and stay in the browser. Exact spend is omitted unless you opt in. Session memory is automatic; lasting local save requires the button below. Nothing is posted to AIToolsEssentials.
Want a keep/cut pack and a written reply before you renew?
The scorecard above stays free. Premium is optional: dated keep/cut notes and a 48-hour written reply by email when you want someone to decide with you. $12/month — cheaper than one overlapping seat, not another AI subscription.

Written AI Stack Audit — $497, one-time.
This scorecard tells you where the overlap is. It cannot tell you what the overlap costs, because it cannot see your invoices or renewal dates. The written audit is built from completed discovery plus public vendor documentation, priced against what you actually pay.
What it includes: a direct answer to every workflow you named, a keep/cut/defer table with money attached, a deep pass on the one bottleneck you ranked, a Monday action per finding, and a 30-day sequence.

Strategy and written recommendations only. No implementation, no account access, no credentials or API keys. Discovery is required first — we say so before you pay rather than shipping a document full of gaps.
