We're building Sub Scrub Me because we've been burned

It started the way it always does: a fast-growing company, a team that moved quickly, and a credit card that said yes to everything. Zoom for video calls. But also Google Meet because the engineering team preferred it. And then someone signed up for Webex "just to try it" - and the trial turned into a paid plan nobody noticed.

Three CRMs. Two project management tools. A design tool nobody used after the designer left. An analytics platform we switched away from but forgot to cancel. A security audit tool that auto-renewed at $3,400/year for a feature we'd replaced with something else.

The audit took three weeks. We pulled bank statements, cross-referenced with accounts payable, chased down who owned which subscription, and built a spreadsheet that immediately became outdated. It was humiliating - and completely preventable.

We built Sub Scrub Me because that process should take 6 minutes, not 3 weeks. And because we knew we weren't alone.
