The company I work for has paid subscriptions to Lattice, Bonusly, SalesForce, Gong, Zoom, Jira, Slack, GSuite, Rippling (a YC company), OneRange and Notion.

No we aren’t going to sign a 1000 seat license to pay for a dumb AI, VC bait three person company we have never heard of.

On the other hand, even if we could replace a subscription by a vibe coded internal app, if it isn’t part of our core competitive advantage - ie “it won’t make the beer taste better” - we aren’t going to spend the effort to write it or more importantly maintain it.

While each of us have a yearly “tools and training allowance” that we can use for almost anything job related, we can’t use any random SaaS that could touch proprietary data. If it was offline sure.
