Submotion
Simple SaaS access management that shows who has access to what
About Submotion
Submotion is a lightweight SaaS management platform that gives teams a spreadsheet-like view of every employee and every SaaS tool they have access to. It pulls user lists from integrated services like Google Workspace, AWS, GitHub, and Slack, making it obvious when former employees still have lingering accounts or when licenses are being paid for unused seats. Designed for startups and SMEs that don't need a heavyweight IAM suite.
