This is how I saved over $5,000+ as a small startup

Hey ProductHunt Community, I've seen so many startups go and blast all of their money on subscriptions and end up wasting so much. I wanted to share some tips on how I've been able to easily save tons of money without being extremely frugal. 1. Try to cancel the software immediately after you subscribe to it. Typically companies offer a discount for cancelling to keep you onboarded, but the thing is, it's pretty much just a free discount for you without any trouble whatsoever. You literally get a discount and they get to keep you as a customer, sounds like a win-win to me. 2. Apply for startup plans. I've seen so many people not apply for certain startup plans such as Clickup.com. I honestly stopped reading the "requirements" after I learned that if you ask, people will give. Everyone wants to help out each other at the end of the day. People are just afraid to ask. 3. Utilize software deals. One of the biggest things I've seen absolutely no one utilize is software deals. Websites like JoinSecret, are a complete game changer. They literally have so many deals like waived stripe fees, waived AWS fees (my personal favorite), etc. Honestly doing this has saved my company so much money in subscriptions that it's honestly insane. Hope you guys learned something today!
