The answer
Compare required features, actual usage, time saved, error reduction, support, integrations, and total recurring cost. Include setup and training. A low monthly price can still be wasteful if the tool duplicates existing work.
Vendor claims should be tested against your operation. Set a review date and remove unused subscriptions through the appropriate process.
