Turn software usage data into a service your clients will pay for

Offer software usage audits, identify unused licenses, and help your clients reduce waste — without adding operational overhead.

Your clients are paying for software they don't use

Most organizations have no reliable way to see what software is actually being used across their devices.

  • Licenses renew automatically without validation
  • Applications stay installed but unused
  • Usage data is fragmented or non-existent
  • Cost decisions are based on assumptions

When clients ask "Do we really need all of this?", there's usually no clear answer.

The opportunity

Turn that blind spot into a service

Instead of reacting to software cost questions, you can proactively provide answers backed by real usage data.

With WhatPulse Professional, you can offer structured software usage audits as part of your managed services.

  • Track real application usage across client devices
  • Identify unused or rarely used software
  • Provide clear, data-backed recommendations
  • Support decisions before renewals hit
New revenue stream

A service you can price to fit your clients

Software usage audits can be packaged in different ways depending on your client size and service model.

Example pricing models

  • Per device: $2–$6 per device / month
    Scales naturally with client size and aligns with your deployment.
  • Tiered per client:
    Small (10–50 devices): $100–$300 / month
    Medium (50–250 devices): $300–$900 / month
    Large (250+ devices): Custom pricing
  • Audit-based: $500–$2,000 per quarterly audit
    Positioned as a one-time or recurring advisory service.

Even identifying 2–3 unused licenses per client often covers the cost of this service.

The value comes from identifying unused software, supporting renewal decisions, and giving clients visibility they typically don't have.
