🔥 Discussion Spotlight
The SaaS Bill You Didn't See Coming
A member flagged this week that a popular time-tracking tool's new pricing plan quietly took their annual cost from $572 to over $2,190 -- nearly 4x. The thread turned into a broader conversation about SaaS subscription creep in legal practices. Several members noted they've been reassessing their entire tool stacks as AI-native alternatives continue to undercut legacy pricing.
Worth checking your renewal date before it hits.
