Questions about Renlyst

Renlyst is a planned web application for small and growing companies that pay for dozens of SaaS and AI subscriptions. It will give you one list of what your company pays for, an estimate of your recurring spend, reminders before renewals and cancellation deadlines, and a record of the savings you actually achieve.

It is built for the people who own software costs in a growing team: founders, finance and operations leads, and IT managers.

Renlyst is not accounting software, a payment tool or a procurement system. It does not pay or cancel subscriptions for you, and it does not contact vendors on your behalf. It also does not discover software automatically, manage devices or measure how much your team uses each tool.

Renlyst helps you keep an accurate list, see what is coming up and record decisions. Acting on those decisions with your vendors stays with you.

Not yet. Renlyst is in development, and we have not announced a launch date. You can join the early access list to hear when it opens.

Joining is free, needs no payment details and does not commit you to buying anything.

In two ways: you add subscriptions one by one, or you import a CSV file, for example an export from the spreadsheet you use today.

During a CSV import you match your columns to Renlyst fields and see a preview before anything is saved. Rows with errors are listed, and possible duplicates are skipped unless you choose to add them anyway. An import never changes subscriptions that are already in Renlyst.

No. At launch, Renlyst will not connect to bank accounts, payment cards, accounting software, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack or AI providers. It will not scan your systems to find subscriptions either.

Everything Renlyst shows is based on the data you enter or import. This keeps the setup simple and means Renlyst does not need access to your financial accounts.

It is an estimate, not money that left your account. Renlyst converts each subscription to a monthly equivalent: a $1,200 yearly plan counts as $100 per month, and a $450 quarterly plan as $150 per month. The yearly figure is the monthly estimate times twelve.

Renlyst does not see your actual payments. If some subscriptions have no known amount, they are left out, and the total is marked as partial instead of being presented as complete.

Renlyst keeps estimated savings and confirmed savings apart and never adds them together.

• Estimated savings come from simple, explainable rules: more seats bought than needed, two similar subscriptions, an expensive renewal coming up, or a subscription with no responsible owner. Not every rule produces an amount, and each estimate shows its assumptions.
• Confirmed savings are counted only after you record a real change with the vendor, such as a lower price, fewer seats or a cancellation, with the old and new price, the date it takes effect and a reference like an invoice number.

Confirmed savings show the yearly reduction in recurring cost. Renlyst does not promise any amount of savings.

For each subscription you can record the renewal date and the vendor’s notice period. Renlyst then works out the last day to cancel, or uses the exact deadline if you enter one.

By default, reminders are planned 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before the cancellation deadline, or 30 and 7 days before the renewal date when no deadline is known. Reminders arrive by email and inside the app. Renlyst records your decision, such as renew or cancel, but you still contact the vendor yourself.

Yes. Each subscription keeps its original amount and currency. Your company picks one main currency for totals, and Renlyst converts other amounts using a dated exchange rate and shows that date.

If a current rate is not available, the affected subscriptions are left out of the total and the total is marked as partial. Changes in exchange rates are never counted as savings.

Yes, as a category. You mark subscriptions as AI tools, and Renlyst shows their share of your estimated monthly spend. For pay-as-you-go AI services you can enter your own monthly estimate.

Renlyst will not connect to AI providers, read their invoices or measure token or API usage.

Yes. You will be able to invite colleagues with one of four roles:

• Owner manages everything, including the Renlyst plan and billing.
• Admin manages members and company settings, but not billing.
• Member adds and edits subscriptions, imports and exports data, and records renewal decisions and savings.
• Viewer can see subscriptions, renewals, savings and reports, but cannot change anything.

Each subscription can also have a responsible person who receives its reminders. That assignment does not change anyone’s permissions. The number of people per workspace depends on the plan.

These are our planned launch prices in US dollars. They may change before release.

• Starter: $29 per month or $290 per year, for up to 25 active subscriptions and 2 team members.
• Business: $79 per month or $790 per year, for up to 100 active subscriptions and 10 team members.
• Growth: $149 per month or $1,490 per year, for up to 300 active subscriptions and 25 team members.

All plans are planned to include the same core features. Plans differ by how many subscriptions you track and how many people you invite. Pending invitations count toward the member limit. See Pricing for details.

Yes, at launch. Each new workspace will get a 14-day free trial with the Business plan limits: up to 100 active subscriptions and 10 team members. No payment card will be needed to start the trial.

The trial is not available yet. To hear when it opens, join the early access list.

Nothing is charged automatically. To keep working, you choose a paid plan. There is no permanent free plan.

If you do not choose a plan, your account becomes read-only. You can still view and export your data, but you cannot add or edit subscriptions or import files, and renewal reminder emails stop until you choose a plan. Your data is not deleted at that moment.

Your existing data stays. When you reach a limit, you can archive old subscriptions or move to a larger plan to add more. Renlyst does not delete records or remove people automatically.

An upgrade will take effect right after payment is confirmed. A downgrade will take effect at your next billing date, and you will see the new limits before then.

We ask only for your email address. Your first name, company name, company size and approximate number of subscriptions are optional. We use these details to manage the early access list, to understand in aggregate which teams are interested, and, later, to email you about early access and the launch. The newsletter is a separate, optional choice.

Today we do not send any emails, including confirmation emails. Waitlist data is stored on servers in Germany. We do not sell it or use it for advertising. Read the Privacy Policy for the full details.

Email support@renlyst.com from the address you signed up with and tell us what you need. We confirm the request comes from you and reply within 5 business days.

If you ask to leave the list, we delete your entry completely. A deleted entry may remain in our database backups for up to 90 days, but we never restore it into our live data. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
