The software audit most DTC founders skip (and what it's costing them)
Cheaper is one thing. But is it built to last?

The entire name of the DTC game is to find as many ways as possible to protect your margins.
Founders are doing this by renegotiating with suppliers, leveraging AI, cutting unnecessary overhead.
But one thing a lot of founders forget to ask themselves is if they are overpaying for software?
What other software is solving the same problem their current software does, but for way cheaper?
I had a call last week with a founder who sold for multi-8 figures.
And beyond just cost, the other thing he brought up was whether that software actually keeps up with what's happening in the space?
Are they building with AI?
Are they giving users what they actually want?
Because cheaper means nothing if the product isn't going to last in the current market.
That conversation kept making me think back to Omnisend.
I have clients and DTC brand owners who've moved from other ESPs to Omnisend because of costs, while still getting the same features, and trusting them to build a product that will last.
And they did it all headache free because Omnisend migrates all paid clients in 5 days for free with no downtime.
