Prune puts every subscription, renewal and free trial in one calm, private place, and shows you what they really cost a year. SEE THE YEARLY TOTAL Your home screen leads with what your subscriptions cost a year, with the monthly figure underneath. The list is grouped into Overdue, This month and Later, so what renews next is always at the top. NEVER MISS A RENEWAL Reminders are on from your first subscription. Prune nudges you the day before a charge, with the amount and the payment method it lands on. CATCH FREE TRIALS Record the trial length, end date and price after trial. Prune reminds you the day before a trial converts, so you decide before the charge lands. CUT WHAT YOU DON'T USE Every subscription carries a link to its cancel page. Mark one cancelled and it leaves your totals but stays on record, showing what you save a year. UNDERSTAND THE REAL COST - Yearly and monthly totals - Yearly spend by category - Price history that records itself when an amount changes - Multi-currency tracking - Export to CSV or JSON FREE TO START. UNLOCK ONCE. Track up to six subscriptions in one currency for free. A single lifetime unlock removes the limit and enables multi-currency tracking, free-trial tools and advanced insights. Pay once. No recurring Prune subscription. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Prune needs no account and no bank login. Your subscription data stays on your device.
