AI Stack Spend Audit
Example session with this skill installed
Audit my AI stack. I pay for: ChatGPT Plus $20/mo (daily, writing + research), Claude Pro $20/mo (daily, writing + coding help), Perplexity Pro $20/mo (a few searches a week), Cursor $20/mo (I code in it daily), Jasper $49/mo (occasional marketing copy), Midjourney $10/mo (a couple images a month), ElevenLabs $22/mo (weekly voiceovers). What should I cut, keep, or downgrade?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the ai stack spend
Current spend: $161/month ($1,932/year).
Overlap groups
- General assistant: ChatGPT (keeper), Claude. Both daily; you use Claude for coding help and ChatGPT for writing+research — close call, but two general assistants is the classic overlap.
- Research: Perplexity vs ChatGPT/Claude web. Light usage.
- Writing suite: Jasper vs your general assistants.
- Coding IDE: Cursor (no overlap). Image: Midjourney (light). Voice: ElevenLabs (no overlap).
Verdicts
- ChatGPT Plus — KEEP. $0. Primary daily driver for writing + research.
- Claude Pro — DOWNGRADE/KEEP your call. You use it daily for coding help; if you keep ChatGPT, consider dropping to free tier for spot use. Potential −$20/mo if cut.
- Perplexity Pro — CUT. −$20/mo. A few searches/week are covered by ChatGPT/Claude web.
- Cursor — KEEP. $0. In-IDE coding isn't replaced by a chat assistant; used daily.
- Jasper — CUT. −$49/mo. Occasional marketing copy is well within a general assistant's reach.
- Midjourney — DOWNGRADE. Already lowest tier; keep if you value image quality, else CUT −$10/mo.
- ElevenLabs — KEEP. $0. Voice has no substitute in your kept tools.
Bottom line (conservative, confirmed cuts only): −$69/month = −$828/year (Perplexity $20 + Jasper $49). Optional further cuts (Claude $20, Midjourney $10) could reach −$99/month.
Shareable summary: "This AI Stack Spend Audit found $69/month in redundant AI spend — $828/year."
Assumptions: prices user-stated; verify each cut won't break a workflow before cancelling. Not financial advice.

About this skill
Most AI power users now quietly spend $100–300/month spread across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Perplexity, ElevenLabs, Midjourney, and a half-dozen others — and suspect they're wasting money on tools that overlap. This skill turns that messy pile of subscriptions into a clear, itemized cut/keep/downgrade plan with a real dollar figure attached.
How it works:
- Intake — You list each tool, its plan tier, monthly price, and how you actually use it (the skill asks one quick round of follow-ups if anything's missing).
- Capability mapping — Each tool is bucketed by the job you hire it for, using a built-in capability map. This is where the redundancy hides: a general assistant you already pay for often covers the text jobs of separate writing and research tools.
- Overlap detection — Within each job group it picks the strongest "keeper" and flags the redundant payers, with explicit rules for when a general assistant can (and can't) absorb another tool's job — it won't, for example, pretend Claude replaces in-IDE coding, pro-grade image generation, or voice models.
- Verdict — Every tool gets a CUT, KEEP, or DOWNGRADE call with a one-line reason and a dollar impact, plus downgrade paths like cheaper tiers, annual billing, or free plans.
- Bottom line — A line-by-line monthly and annual savings total, plus a shareable summary line ("This audit found $87/month in redundant AI spend").
The savings number is deliberately conservative and traceable: it uses only the prices you provide, flags anything unknown separately, and never inflates the headline. It's budgeting guidance for your own tools — not financial advice — designed to pay for itself in the first month.
What's included: a lean SKILL.md orchestrator plus a bundled REFERENCE.md containing the tool capability map, the overlap-detection logic, the cut/keep/downgrade rubric, and a ready-to-fill report template.
Recommendations are only as accurate as the prices and usage you provide; the skill does not have live access to current vendor pricing, which changes frequently, so it flags figures as user-stated. It can't see your actual login/usage logs, so frequency is self-reported. Savings estimates are conservative and exclude unknown prices from the headline. This is personal budgeting guidance, not financial, tax, or investment advice, and a recommended cut should be sanity-checked against your real workflows before you cancel anything.
