Editorial assessment

Bottom line up front: What should I do if a tool I pay for was shut down, sold or renamed?

Check the date first, then pull a full export of your data while the vendor still answers support tickets.

Eleven of the 34 changes on this list are acquisitions, and a new owner usually honors the contract you signed, then reprices at renewal. I've cancelled more SaaS contracts than I can count, so read the renewal clause and the notice period before that date sneaks up on you. A rename is a good moment to check your plan against the new lineup. If you know of a shutdown or sale we've missed, send us the announcement and we'll verify it.

How do you decide what goes on this list?

A product is listed when it was shut down, sold, renamed or folded into another product and we can confirm it on a primary source: the company’s own announcement, help page or filing, or a major news report when no primary exists. Each row links that source and the date we checked it. Rumors and unclosed deals stay off until they are confirmed.

Can I use this data?

Yes. The tracker is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0: credit HelpCompare and link to this page. It is also available as CSV and JSON.

Source links on this site are checked every month; last check October 4, 2026. How sources are checked.
