The Software Tax You Didn’t Know You Were Paying
Published September 10, 2026 • Shellback Executive Consultants
Take a look at your software stack right now. Add them up: your email marketing tool ($100/mo), your landing page builder ($97/mo), your CRM ($150/mo), your booking calendar ($30/mo), your SMS marketing platform ($79/mo), and your workflow automation software ($50/mo).
You are bleeding hundreds—if not thousands—of dollars every single month to a dozen different companies whose only job is to talk to each other poorly. Data gets lost in transit, API integrations break whenever an update rolls out, and your overhead grows heavier while your profit margins shrink.
There is a point where keeping the status quo stops being comfortable and starts being expensive.
