“StackDiet is a free, no-signup tool for picking a leaner set of AI and SaaS tools. You can build a stack from common jobs or plain-language needs, audit tools you already pay for, and compare alternatives. It is funded by affiliate commissions, which the site says do not affect rankings. It is a practical starting point, but check each recommendation against your own requirements.”
