The SaaS Exit Plan
The audit tells you what you have. The exit plan tells you what to do about it: which subscriptions get replaced, which get kept, which get integrated — and the date the new system pays for itself. Included in every Stack Audit.
Every tool ends up in one of three places.
The custom layer
Your CRM, your site, your memberships, your courses, your community, your automations. The things that make your business different and that you're currently renting at many times what they cost to own. These get built.
The commodities
Payments, video calls, accounting, email delivery infrastructure. Cheap, excellent, and not where your advantage lives. These stay exactly where they are, and the plan says so in writing.
The in-betweens
Tools that stay for now but need to talk properly to the new system — a scheduling tool the team loves, a podcast host, a community your members won't leave yet. Built as real integrations, not Zaps.
A plan with dates and numbers, not a vision.
- ✓Each subscription assigned to replace, keep or integrate — with the reason
- ✓The order things move in, so nothing depends on something that isn't built yet
- ✓Which contracts to cancel when, and which to let run to the end of their term
- ✓A parallel-running window: old and new side by side until you're satisfied
- ✓The fixed-price build quote and the break-even month, on your real numbers
- ✓What the offers should look like on the other side — the consulting piece, written down
The rule that shapes it: own what makes you different, rent what doesn't. Anyone promising to eliminate every subscription is selling you something. The exit plan will tell you which ones are worth keeping — before you sign anything.
The plan becomes the build.
Nothing in the exit plan is theoretical. Every "replace" line becomes part of the Custom Build scope, every "integrate" line becomes an integration, and the migration order becomes the Migration & Launch schedule.
Get the plan. It starts with the audit.
A Stack Audit documents every subscription, workflow and limitation in your business and gives you a real break-even number. $500, credited in full if you build with us.
