Waitlist open: five places recurring money hides

Spend where you need.
Save where you can.

Outturn's AI agents find the software and recurring costs you don't need, and count a saving only when a later invoice proves it.

Opening to new teams in waves. One email when it's your turn.

Illustrative workspace. Real vendors; the company and figures are made up.

Money doesn't vanish.
It leaks between teams.

A seat for someone who left in March. A renewal that rolled over unread. Two teams paying for the same job. It's all visible in your own systems, but each team only sees part of it.

Six agents. Hard limits.

Each agent has one job and a line it can't cross without you. It's built so every hand-off and tool call is logged.

Rules we hold ourselves to

Every material number has a source and a calculation you can reproduce.
Code calculates totals, dates and currencies. Models explain; they never invent usage, terms or savings.
Uncertain evidence becomes a question, not a confident recommendation.
Employee activity is never turned into a productivity score.
Your data stays isolated, exportable and deletable.
We describe what the product has shown it can do. We don't guarantee savings.

What Outturn won't do

Analyse payroll
Score employees
Issue cards or move money
Cancel subscriptions on its own
Negotiate with suppliers
Read your whole mailbox

Mailbox access is optional. We start with the documents you choose and the narrowest permissions that work.

A finding you can check line by line.

Not another list of 300 optimisation ideas. A few decisions worth making, each written the same way, and honest about what it doesn't know.

Most tools add up every opportunity and call it savings. Outturn keeps five separate states and counts money once, after a later record proves it.

Illustrative figures from the sample workspace.

Today, what you pay for.
Next, whether the money worked.

Every team can hit its target while the company loses money. A channel can win customers who cost more to serve than they pay. That's where Outturn goes next, once the recurring-cost workflow is accurate and self-serve.

Later, and two teams done properly before a third.

Built by someone who watched the money leak.

“My dad invested $1.7 million to build my mom's performance center. Almost a year later, it still hadn't broken even. What we were missing wasn't effort. It was someone who could explain what the numbers meant before the money was spent.”

Shaurya grew up around family businesses, and kept seeing the same gap. Outturn is his answer: a teammate that reads the statements, explains them in plain words, and only calls something a saving once an invoice proves it.

Launch pricing we're testing with early customers, so it may change. No percentage of your spend, no savings guarantees.

Questions, answered straight.

No. Outturn recommends, tracks and verifies. Every external change needs approval from someone you authorise, and your team takes the action.

Tools like these show up on almost every company's card statement. Outturn reads them from your payments, so there's nothing to integrate.
