Find recurring expenses to cut or renegotiate

List your subscriptions and recurring bills and get a ranked review of what to cancel, downgrade, combine or renegotiate, with a script for the calls.

The prompt

Review my recurring business expenses and help me cut costs without hurting the business.

Here they are (vendor, what it is for, monthly cost, how often we actually use it, contract end date if any):
[PASTE LIST]

Please:
1. Put each one in a group: Keep, Downgrade, Combine (overlaps with another tool), Cancel, or Renegotiate.
2. For each, give a one-line reason and the estimated monthly saving.
3. Point out overlapping tools that do the same job.
4. Write a short, polite script I can use to ask a vendor for a better rate, mentioning [e.g. a competitor's price / annual prepay / loyalty].
5. Total the potential monthly and annual savings.
Be realistic: do not suggest cancelling something that my notes say is essential.

Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.
