Subscription Manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
Know what your subscriptions cost before the next bill arrives. Keep recurring payments, renewal dates and your share of household plans in one private subscription manager, without connecting a bank account. START WITH ONE SUBSCRIPTION Choose a familiar service from searchable presets, check the amount and save. Available price suggestions identify the plan and country; you can edit them to match your own bill, including tax. Add any other service with a name, amount and billing cycle. Currency choices are remembered, and optional details stay out of the way until you need them. Don't know the next renewal date? Add the subscription anyway. It counts toward your spending, while date-based reminders and forecasts wait until you supply a real date. There is no invented payment schedule to correct later. SEE MONTHLY AND YEARLY COSTS Track streaming, music, software, cloud storage, gym memberships and other recurring bills. Weekly, monthly, annual and custom-day payments are normalized into useful spending totals. Sort by cost, renewal or name to find an expensive plan or an approaching bill. For shared subscriptions, record an equal split or your personal amount so your budget reflects your share. PLAN RENEWALS AND TRIAL ENDINGS Add known billing dates to see upcoming charges and a renewal calendar. Set local reminders before payment is due, subject to your device's notification permission and settings. Record a service's free-trial end date separately from its paid cycle. These are trials you track from other services; this app does not start or cancel them for you. TRY A CHANGE BEFORE COMMITTING Preview keeping, pausing or cancelling one subscription and see the estimated effect on monthly and annual spending. The what-if comparison leaves your saved bills and reminders unchanged. Amounts remain separated by currency. Pausing assumes no charges for a full year; estimates do not include refunds or promise savings. Considering an annual plan? Enter the actual annual offer and compare it with twelve monthly payments. See whether it costs less, the same or more. No assumed discount is presented as a real offer. Compare several subscriptions, combine what-if changes and inspect upfront cost and monthly equivalents. KEEP YOUR LIST USEFUL Update a price when your provider changes it, add a payment-method label, and review which services you still use. Archive paused or cancelled subscriptions without deleting their history, then restore them when needed. Cancellation guidance and manage links help you find the right provider page; you must complete any cancellation with the provider. Recording a change here does not stop a charge. PRIVATE, MANUAL AND UNDER YOUR CONTROL Your subscription list is stored on your device. No bank login, registration or automatic transaction scanning is required. Core tracking works offline. Store purchases, optional currency-rate updates and external manage links need a connection. You choose when to share or export data. Use backup export to keep your own copy; this is not an automatic cloud-sync service. MAKE RECURRING BILLS EASIER TO REVIEW Group subscriptions with custom categories and payment-method labels. Explore spending by category or payment label, then export a CSV for your own spreadsheet. Keep a separate backup for recovery when you need it. A clear list makes it easier to spot overlapping services, check a price change and decide which plans still deserve a place in your budget. Build a routine around the information you actually know: record the amount, check upcoming renewals and revisit your comparisons when an offer changes. Track personal subscriptions or your share of household plans in one organized place. Less repetitive entry, clearer recurring expenses and no ads.
