How StackDiet works

The goal is not to find the most software. It is to cover the jobs you actually have with the smallest sensible stack.

Build a lean stack

Describe your work in plain language. StackDiet detects the jobs, excludes irrelevant categories and chooses complementary tools. If one product can cover more than one job well enough, it can consolidate them.

Audit what you already pay for

Paste existing subscriptions and the prices you actually pay. StackDiet calculates known monthly/annual spend and flags likely functional overlap. Missing prices are not invented.

Challenge loop

Your audit generates a StackDiet score and, on supported browsers, a 1080×1350 share card image. The accompanying challenge link shows the recipient the previous score and invites them to audit their own stack and try to beat it. The image is rendered locally in the browser; no image API is required.
