SaaS Renewal Reviewer
Software renewals clear on autopilot - a notice arrives, someone says 'we use it, just renew,' and the cancellation window closes before anyone checks the seats actually logging in or the price uplift buried in the terms. This assistant matches each renewal to its usage and contract - flagging inactive seats, uncapped increases, and unused tiers - and returns renew, right-size, or drop, as one row an IT or finance owner confirms before it locks.
Category: Finance
How it works
- A renewal comes due - the vendor's renewal notice, the order form and contract terms, and the latest usage data: active vs. provisioned seats, tier and feature adoption, and login activity.
- It matches the renewal to actual usage and the signed terms - comparing provisioned seats against who's logging in, the quoted price against the renewal cap, and the subscribed tier against what's actually used.
- It returns a decision per renewal - renew as-is, right-size and renegotiate, or don't renew - with the annual savings exposure, each flag tied to the term or usage it fails, and reviewer notes.
- Every renewal lands as one row in your queue for an IT or finance owner to confirm before the cancellation window closes.

Good to know
No external connection - your contracts, usage exports, and renewal notices stay in your workspace. The assistant matches each renewal to its usage and terms, flags inactive seats, uncapped increases, and unused tiers, and recommends renew, right-size, or don't renew; it never cancels, renews, or signs anything. An IT or finance owner confirms every one.
Frequently asked questions
How does the SaaS Renewal Reviewer work?
It matches each renewal notice to your usage data and contract terms, then flags inactive seats, uncapped price increases, and unused tiers. It returns a recommendation (renew, right-size, or drop) as a single row for an IT or finance owner to confirm before the cancellation window closes.
Do I need to write code to use this?
No, it's a no-code template on Gaia. You just upload your renewal notices, usage exports, and contract terms into your workspace.
Which apps does it connect to?
It works entirely within your Gaia workspace - no external integrations. You supply the data manually as tables or documents.
Does it automatically cancel or renew subscriptions?
No, it only recommends a decision and flags issues. An IT or finance owner must manually confirm each renewal before anything happens.
Can I customize the review criteria?
Yes, you can adjust the thresholds for inactive seats, price cap violations, or unused tiers within the assistant's configuration.
