My company (sub-1000 heads) is undertaking a project to seriously evaluate costs of all these services. Because you're right, there's a 10x-my-salary annual cost savings to be had after just a rudimentary analysis of unused tool license costs. We are lucky that we auto-provisions tool access, and use Okta, which makes analyzing and acting on this data pretty trivial. I think a lot of these SaaS companies are feeling the squeeze and pressure to be profitable. A few that we've been customers of since they were wee companies are jacking up rates by 3-5x. The value of an $8k product has a lot lower expectations than a $40k one.
