About this appAI proposal
Renewal Desk tracks every SaaS subscription your company pays for. It shows when each one renews and how much the price rose, then helps you decide: accept, negotiate or move.
It is built for procurement, IT and finance teams who today build a spreadsheet for each annual increase. A migration calculator replaces the hand-made model, and a negotiation brief gathers your facts on one page.
Peer price comparison relies on members sharing anonymous contract data, so it starts small and grows as more teams join.

- Why this name
- Renewal is the moment buyers lose leverage. Renewal Desk is a plain two-word name for the place where you prepare for it.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Users send renewal briefs and migration summaries to finance leads, executives and sometimes vendors. Each page carries a small Renewal Desk credit and link.
- Do they become customers?
- Recipients are often finance or IT peers who run renewals too, so some may sign up. Test how many brief viewers create an account.
- First customers
- IT managers and procurement leads at mid-market software-heavy companies with 100 to 500 staff and dozens of SaaS contracts.
- Where to reach them
- Hacker News and developer forums: Post the migration vs. stay calculator as a free tool and invite readers to track renewals.
- Procurement and finance communities: Share a renewal checklist and offer free setup to early teams.
- First milestone
- Five paying teams in one segment who each log at least 20 contracts and run one negotiation brief.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimOrganizations face recurring annual SaaS price increases
- Public claimCustomers lack transparency on what others pay and use external vendors to understand pricing
- Public claimCustomers manually model migration costs versus price increases
- Public claimVendor lock-in and migration effort are significant enough to factor into pricing decisions

RisksAI inference
- DataPeer benchmarks need many members sharing contract prices. Early on the sample is too thin to be useful, and members may not share.
- CommercialBuyers may keep using spreadsheets or existing price intelligence vendors; the material names no competitors to compare against.
- RegulatoryContracts can carry confidentiality clauses that limit sharing prices, so pooled data may breach terms for some members.
- TechnicalEntering contracts by hand is tedious; without import from invoices or finance tools, the register may go stale.
