Why This Exists
In 2023, we were helping a 200-person professional services firm prepare for a board-level IT review. The CFO pulled out a spreadsheet — rows upon rows of monthly charges from 34 different SaaS vendors, cloud cost entries from three AWS accounts, and a Jira project for a tool nobody had logged into in eight months. She didn't need a consultant to fix the corporate software spending problem. She needed five minutes and a clear number.
There wasn't a free, no-sign-up Enterprise SaaS Audit tool that gave her that. Everything either required a demo call, a 14-day trial, or a sales rep follow-up. So we built one, put it on the open web, and decided it should cost nothing and collect nothing.
What the Tool Actually Does
The BadBit.site Enterprise SaaS Audit tool does three things. First, it takes your monthly subscription and cloud costs, annualises them, and gives you a single clean number — your total annual corporate software spending. Second, it applies a realistic 15–20% optimisation range (drawn from Gartner and Flexera research) to surface your savings headroom. Third, it benchmarks your IT Infrastructure ROI by comparing your cost-per-employee against the $1,200–$5,000 industry standard so you know whether you're underspending, in the optimal zone, or burning more than your peers.
Everything runs in your browser. There is no server-side processing of your numbers. When you close the tab, the data is gone. We think that's the only responsible way to handle someone's financial information on a free web tool.
On the Benchmark Sources
We get asked about the numbers. The 15–20% savings range comes from two primary sources: Flexera's annual State of IT Asset Management Report, which surveys 1,000+ IT professionals globally, and McKinsey's 2022 analysis of enterprise software spend patterns across 300 companies. The per-employee benchmark range ($1,200–$5,000) is consistent across Gartner's IT Spending and Staffing data published in their annual report. These aren't aspirational figures — they represent what organisations actually recover when they run a proper optimisation exercise.
We acknowledge these are industry averages. A fintech firm in London and a logistics company in Karachi will have very different baseline costs. The tool is designed to give you a starting framework, not a final answer. The PDF report is formatted so you can hand it to a CFO or an IT director as a conversation-starter, not a signed-off budget.
What We're Working On Next
We're currently developing direct integrations with major SaaS vendor APIs so the tool can pull live subscription data instead of asking you to enter it manually. We're also exploring a private, team-accessible version for organisations that need audit trails, multi-user input, and exportable reports in formats beyond PDF. If that sounds relevant to your organisation, the contact page is the right place to start.
One Commitment We'll Always Keep
We will never put your cost data behind a sign-up wall. We will never sell the benchmarks or personalise the tool's output based on advertising interests. The tool should serve the person using it — not the business model around it. That's a constraint we've deliberately built into the architecture, not just the policy.
