How do I calculate the total cost of my subscriptions?+
Add each subscription with its price and billing cycle. The tracker converts weekly, quarterly and yearly plans into a common monthly figure, sums them, and shows your true monthly, yearly and per-day totals so you can compare everything fairly.
How does it handle subscriptions billed yearly or weekly?+
Every subscription is normalized to a monthly cost: a yearly plan is divided by 12, a weekly plan is multiplied by 52 and divided by 12, and quarterly by 4 over 12. That way a $139/year plan and a $15/month plan sit side by side accurately in your totals and category breakdown.
Will it remind me about upcoming renewals?+
The tool sorts your subscriptions by their next renewal date and highlights any charging within seven days. It runs in your browser, so it can't send push notifications, but the upcoming-renewals list makes it easy to spot trials and annual charges before they hit.
Do I need to create an account or link my bank?+
No. You enter subscriptions manually and nothing is connected to your bank or any account. This keeps your full spending picture private — a key difference from subscription-management apps that require signup or bank access.
Is my subscription list stored anywhere?+
Only in your own browser. Your list auto-saves to local storage so it's there when you return on the same device, but it is never uploaded, synced or shared. Clearing your browser data or using another device starts fresh.
Can I set a monthly subscription budget?+
Yes. Enter a monthly budget and the summary shows a progress bar with how much you have left — or how far over you are — so you can keep recurring spend under control at a glance.
How does the 12-month spend forecast work?+
The forecast places each subscription's charges in the actual months they'll occur over the next year, based on its billing cycle and next renewal date. Annual and semi-annual plans show up as spikes in their real renewal month, so you can see which months will be expensive and plan ahead.
How much can I save by switching to annual plans?+
Annual plans are typically 10–20% cheaper than paying monthly. The insights panel totals your monthly-billed subscriptions and estimates that range for you, so you can quickly see whether switching a few services to yearly billing is worth it.
How do I find subscriptions I should cancel?+
Rate how much you actually use each subscription from 1 to 5 stars. Anything you rate 1–2 stars is flagged as a cancel candidate, and the tool adds up how much you'd save per year by cancelling them — an easy way to trim forgotten or low-value services.
Can I pause a subscription without deleting it?+
Yes. Toggle a subscription to paused and it's excluded from your totals, category breakdown and forecast, but stays in your list so you can resume it later. It's ideal for seasonal services you stop and restart.
Can I track free trials before they charge me?+
Mark a subscription as a free trial and set its conversion date as the next renewal. The insights panel and renewals list highlight trials that are about to convert, so you can cancel in time if you don't want to keep them.
Can I export or back up my subscription list?+
Yes. Export your list as a CSV (to open in Excel or Google Sheets) or as a JSON backup you can import later or on another device. Since nothing is stored on a server, the JSON backup is how you move your list between browsers.
How much does the average person spend on subscriptions?+
Studies consistently find people underestimate their subscription spend by two to three times, often paying for services they've forgotten. Adding everything here usually reveals a larger annual total than expected — which is exactly why seeing the yearly and per-day figures is useful.
