Toolspend VS ShellNewHandler

• Centralized SaaS tracking
  Toolspend aims to help businesses consolidate all their software subscriptions in one place, making it easier to see what tools are being paid for across the organization.
• Cost visibility
  By tracking spending on various tools, it can help identify total software expenses and highlight areas where money is being spent, supporting better budget management.
• Waste identification
  The platform may help detect unused, duplicate, or redundant subscriptions, allowing companies to cancel or downgrade tools they no longer need and save money.
• Renewal management
  Tracking renewal dates helps avoid unexpected auto-renewals and surprise charges, giving teams time to evaluate whether to keep, renegotiate, or cancel a subscription.
• Time savings
  Automating subscription and expense tracking can reduce the manual effort of maintaining spreadsheets, freeing up finance and operations staff for higher-value work.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited public information
  There is relatively little widely available information or independent reviews about Toolspend, making it harder to verify its features, reliability, and reputation before committing.
• Integration uncertainty
  The value of a spend-tracking tool depends heavily on its integrations with accounting software, banks, and SaaS platforms; if these are limited, manual data entry may still be required.
• Potential added cost
  Adding another subscription to manage subscriptions introduces its own recurring expense, which may not be justified for very small teams with few tools.
• Data privacy considerations
  Connecting financial and subscription data to a third-party platform raises security and privacy concerns that require trust in the vendor's data handling practices.
• Learning curve and adoption
  Realizing value requires consistent use and buy-in across teams; if adoption is low or data isn't kept current, the insights it provides may be incomplete or inaccurate.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
