Overlapping subscriptions
Three AI and productivity tools overlap in the same core use case.
Keep the best-fit stack and cancel the lowest-usage subscription.
Banking and payment leakage
FX and card processing fees are higher than the business profile requires.
Migrate the payment rail with the highest fee burden first.
The problem
Most overspending is not dramatic. It is silent, recurring, and ignored.
Lakshmi exists because wasted spend usually looks harmless when seen line by line, but expensive when viewed as repeated operational leakage.
Costs hide in plain sight
Recurring tools, banking fees, team plans, and overlapping subscriptions quietly compound until margins start shrinking.
Most teams do not know what to cut first
Even when expenses are visible, the next action is unclear: cancel, downgrade, renegotiate, or replace.
Finance tools feel too heavy for lean teams
People need clarity and action, not a new accounting workflow or a complex implementation project.
What Lakshmi does
The product translates expenses into decisions.
Instead of overwhelming the user with raw data, Lakshmi narrows attention to the highest-value actions first and explains why they matter.
Identify waste quickly
Spot redundant tools, underused seats, fee leakage, and low-efficiency recurring costs.
Prioritize what matters
Rank opportunities by impact, confidence, and effort so the user knows what to do first.
Explain the decision
Every recommendation comes with context, rationale, and estimated monthly and yearly savings.
