Service as Software

The exit ramp from vendor lock-in.

We get you off Domo, Alteryx, Looker and SSIS with parity proof, and keep your next exit ready before you need it.

The cost of staying

You are not paying for software. You are paying for the cost of leaving.

The renewal quote is not a price. It measures how hard it would be for you to go somewhere else, and it rises every year you keep building there.

Put your own numbers in. Nothing leaves your browser.
Set knowing what leaving would cost you.
Each one a person who cannot read the logic without it.
Committed over four more years$4,960,000Against a rebuild estimate nobody can price, so the renewal gets signed.
Illustrative defaults, not a real quote. The four-year figure is your renewal held flat, with no uplift assumed.
The first thing we do is turn that into a number.Why the number keeps rising
The journey

One path, walked in order. Stop at any stage and keep everything delivered up to it.

Four stages of one engagement, not four products to choose between.

Stage 01

Lock-In Index

FREE

We inventory the estate and price the exit, tier by tier, with a cost and a timeline attached to each. The output is a document you can take to a board or to your vendor.

Illustrative estate survey
10source types
1,000data flows
1,500datasets
4,000cards
200dashboards
Outcome: you finally know what leaving costs.See a sample report
Stage 02

Exit Pack

FIXED PRICE

The estate extracted into open, readable form: transformation logic, lineage, dataset definitions, dashboard specs, schedules and permissions, delivered into your own repository. No migration is required and nothing in production changes.

The fee credits in full against a later Parity Migration.

Outcome: your negotiating position changes the day you take delivery.

Your repo. Your formats.

You pick the critical processes. We move them to Airflow, dbt, Superset and Postgres, and the harness compares outputs row for row and dashboards pixel for pixel before anything is cut over.

Outcome: cutover without a leap of faith.
Stage 03

Parity Migration

Row by row. Pixel by pixel.
Proven before cutover.

Cutover complete

You are out.

Open platforms, readable logic, and a harness that proves the numbers. No MoatBreak layer sits between you and any of it.

Stage 04

Exit Readiness

SUBSCRIPTION

Your teams start building again on the new stack, and that is how the next moat forms. Exit Readiness studies the new estate continuously and regenerates the same exit assets we produced for the old one.

The No-Moat Clause

So we escape SaaS vendor lock-in and become dependent on MoatBreak?

Everything lands in your repository, not ours. From day one, in open formats, in version control you own.

The parity harness is yours. Source code, not a service. Your team runs it on your infrastructure without us in the loop.

Thirty days’ notice, no exit fee. Stop paying and you keep every artefact, every pipeline and every harness.

We sell a way out of moats. It would be embarrassing to build one.

What the estates actually contain, written up after the work.

Domo5 min readDomo is being acquired by Progress Software. Map your exit now.On 22 July 2026, Progress Software agreed to buy Domo's platform business for about 400 million dollars, with the deal set to close by November. Here is what an acquisition by Progress usually means for the customers of the software it buys, and why the months before your next renewal are the time to know your exit options.Industry4 min readThe cost of staying locked in, while the vendor sorts itself outDomo's going-concern questions and Alteryx's private-equity ownership are two different situations with the same lesson: your workflows are your IP, and they should not depend on someone else's balance sheet.Alteryx6 min readAn Alteryx migration walkthrough: rebate processing, without the renewalAn illustrative walkthrough of how MoatBreak migrates a business-critical Alteryx estate, rebate and invoice workflows, to Airflow and dbt on Snowflake, with a parity check on every workflow.
