Savings use your own numbers. Self-hosting costs time, servers, and upkeep. Check each project's license before you rely on it.
What this is
SaaS Bill Cutter is a free calculator. You enter what you pay for software, a server estimate, and your hourly rate. A fixed formula in your browser estimates savings and payback time for switching to an open-source alternative.
What it is not
It is not financial, legal, or licensing advice. We don't know your real vendor prices, contracts, data volume, or compliance needs. Setup hours are rough averages and can be far off. We are not affiliated with any vendor or project listed and earn nothing from the links.
Licenses
Licenses were read from each project's GitHub repository on Sep 30, 2026 and can change. Some projects are open core, source-available (Elastic License, FSL), or copyleft (GPL, AGPL), which limits reselling or requires sharing changes. Read the license yourself before relying on it.
