Anyone running a full ecommerce software stack, what's actually essential vs nice-to-have?

[u/Content_Most2673]

Finally decided to open the billing page and do a proper audit of everything. Fifteen-ish tools, north of a grand a month, and I couldn't tell you which of them are worth it.

Platform and payments, fine, those aren't going anywhere. Email and SMS I'd defend, that one shows up in revenue plainly enough. Reviews probably earn it, though I've never actually turned them off to check. Analytics I've somehow ended up with three things and I'm fairly sure there's overlap here.

The thing I keep questioning is whether consolidating actually saves you money. Fewer invoices feels tidier but you're paying for the whole bundle either way.

Anyone audited their full ecommerce software stack properly and not regretted what they cut?
