Working with freelancers on multiple projects made me realize how quickly the cost of shared tools piles up. Some platforms require extra seats, others charge per project, and a few suddenly introduce new tiers that weren’t needed before. It got me thinking about how teams avoid spending more than necessary while still giving freelancers access to what they need.

In my experience, the key was reviewing which tools were actually used across all contributors and removing the ones that barely served a purpose. We also consolidated tasks into fewer platforms so everyone had a simpler environment to work in. During this cleanup I ended up checking https://www.spendbase.co/
while comparing the cost of different tools, and it helped map out exactly where the money went. That made the budgeting process a lot clearer and easier to manage.

Even though I’m not coordinating freelancers myself, I’ve noticed how teams often struggle with tool expenses once several people join a project. Observing it from the side, it seems like planning ahead and keeping things minimal can save a lot of frustration. It’s interesting to read discussions like this and see how others approach similar challenges.
