What is the best way to manage software subscriptions and reduce SaaS spend?

Common SaaS spend management tactics: conduct a quarterly audit of all active subscriptions (tools like Vendr or Zylo help at scale), cancel unused seats before renewal, negotiate annual plans for tools you're committed to, consolidate overlapping tools, and remove seats for departed employees immediately. The average mid-size company wastes 20–30% of their SaaS budget on unused or redundant tools.
