Most business owners guess wrong when asked how many software subscriptions their company actually runs — and the real number tends to be uncomfortable.
The real numbers. The average small or mid-sized business now runs around 73 separate SaaS applications, up from about 40 just a few years ago. That's roughly $4,700 per employee, per year, in software subscriptions alone — and between a quarter and a third of that spend goes to licenses nobody is actually using.
Why it sprawls like this. Each tool looks cheap on its own, so nobody makes a single big decision to overspend — it happens twelve small decisions at a time, across departments that never compare notes.
What TRIVE consolidates. CRM, project management, and accounting — three of the categories most businesses pay for separately — in one free suite, with no usage limits, signed in with the same UIID you already use everywhere else in Web4. Building small internal tools? GLACIER lets you describe what you need in plain language and get a working mini app deployed on Web4 infrastructure, instead of adding yet another subscription to the pile.
A realistic way to start. Pick whichever of CRM, project management or accounting causes the most friction today, run it alongside your current tool for a few weeks, and retire the old subscription only once the new one has handled a full real work cycle.
