Waste not, want not

Find the Microsoft 365 licences nobody is using.

WantNot reads a tenant's licence inventory and compares it against real sign-in activity. You get the wasted spend costed per user, per SKU, with the evidence attached. Not a percentage, a list you can act on.

Hover or tap a band to isolate it. Illustrative figures. A real report names every user and SKU behind each band.

Microsoft will tell you one licence is wasted. It won't tell you every licence one person is wasting.

Microsoft's reports age waste out one SKU at a time. WantNot collates every idle licence a person holds under their name, sorted by who costs the most, and one conversation closes them all.

That aggregation is the part Microsoft never builds.

It runs on the same read-only data, sliced by department, role and user type, with zero extra permissions. Click a person to see what they are silently costing. Read the method →

Five things it looks for

Ordered by how easily each one survives an argument with a finance team. The hottest are unarguable; the last needs a human to confirm. The full reasoning lives on the Method page.

Disabled accounts

Switched off when they left. The licence kept billing.

Certain How it's decided →

Reclaimed, not absorbed

Most tools call any disappearing finding a saving. WantNot only counts a licence that genuinely came off the invoice. Findings that stopped being flagged are shown and explained, but never counted. Read the method →

Two ways in

Same analysis engine. Different trade between speed and history.

Instant Audit

For a first look, or a prospect who wants proof before a contract.

  • Runs entirely in your browser
  • Nothing is stored, anywhere
  • Result in about a minute
  • CSV export
  • -No history or trend
  • -One tenant at a time

Continuous

For an MSP tracking recovery across a book of tenants.

  • Scans every tenant nightly
  • Trend and scan-over-scan deltas
  • Whole-portfolio view
  • Period reports for renewals
  • Per-tenant contracted rates
  • -Needs admin consent once

Read-only, and that's enforced

Three permissions, all read. Nothing WantNot holds can change anything in a tenant. The one write capability is inert. How consent works →
