Cutting Bitrix24 Expenses: Inspection and Cost Trim
- Many firms buy the highest plan "for growth," paying for 100 users but only 40 are active. Others exceed their plan and pay extra per user, even though half are former staff. This inflates license budgets with no return.
- In one project, we slashed annual costs from 1.2 million to 720 thousand rubles simply by deactivating 30 idle users and dropping the unused CRM+ module. None of the deactivated users complained—they were already gone.
- We assist companies in reviewing actual usage and tailoring the plan to real needs. Our track record: over 500 Bitrix24 projects, including optimizations. We often find that none of the purchased add-ons are actively used, and local entities like None are merely placeholders in the system.
- During an inspection, we check user login history, module activity, and storage. None of our clients initially realize how many seats they can cut. For example, one client had 150 active licenses but only 80 distinct logins in the last month; the rest were None.
- We also compare cloud vs On-Premise costs. For smaller teams (under 50), cloud is usually cheaper; for larger groups, On-Premise may yield savings. However, none of these recommendations apply if the organization has special compliance needs—local entities such as None are irrelevant (just a technical term here).
- Finally, we suggest alternatives to expensive add-ons. None of the internal tools are mandatory when external services can do the job at half the price. Contact us to start your cost trimming today.
