About

Canceled

Features
Read full description

Cancelled shows you every subscription you are paying for, what it really costs you over a year, and exactly how to get out of the ones you no longer want. WHAT IT COSTS, NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE Your month total leads the screen. Every subscription sits in one list with the next charge date, so nothing renews as a surprise. Switch to the canvas and each one is drawn at its true size, which is usually the moment people find the expensive one they forgot. THE PART OTHER TRACKERS SKIP Knowing what you pay is easy. Getting out is the hard part, so Cancelled ships a researched catalogue of 167 services that tells you where to cancel each one, which eleven cannot be finished online at all, and which twenty three will put obstacles in your way, from a minimum term to a retention call. One tap opens the provider's own cancellation page. Not ready to let go? Cheaper plans appear first, at the moment you are looking for the exit. THE MONEY YOU KEEP IS THE SCORE Cancel something and it stays on your screen, struck through and stamped, with what you saved counted up beside it. The kept figure is the number the app cares about. NEVER TYPE ONE IN BY HAND Scan a receipt, drop in an App Store screenshot, paste a confirmation email, or point it at a Notion page or a Google Sheet. Everything is read on your device. SEE THE MONTH BEFORE IT BILLS A forecast calendar shows every charge ahead of the charge, so a heavy week is visible while you can still do something about it. ON EVERY DEVICE YOU OWN An iPad layout that is not a stretched phone, and an Apple Watch app you can mark a renewal paid or cancel it from. Home and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity counting down to the next charge, and Shortcuts support so you can add a subscription or ask what you spend without opening the app. YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account and no sign in. What you pay, what you track and what you cancelled are stored on your device and nowhere else. No amount you enter is ever sent anywhere. PAY ONCE Cancelled is not a subscription. Track five subscriptions free, then unlock the rest once and keep it for good. It would be a strange thing to charge you every month for.

Verdict

The call

Kontrol and Canceled are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
