Replace the subscription. Keep the software.

When it makes sense

Good candidates for replacement

Replacing a platform isn't right for everyone. It tends to pay off when several of these are true:

• You pay a large and rising bill, often per user, every month or year
• Your team uses a small part of what the platform offers
• You've built workarounds, spreadsheets or extra tools around its gaps
• You need your data on your own systems or in your own cloud
• The software is core to how you operate, so you'll use it for years

When it doesn't

When to keep renting

We'll tell you plainly if a custom build isn't worth it. Keep the subscription when:

• The tool is cheap relative to what a build would cost over the same years
• You rely on deep features, like payroll tax filing, that a vendor maintains for thousands of customers
• Your needs change so fast that a flexible off-the-shelf tool fits better
