Know where it goes. Subscriptions are easy to start and easy to forget. Subwise puts them all in one place, shows what they really cost, and tells you before the next charge lands. Subwise is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no limit on how many you track. ADD THEM IN SECONDS Pick from a list of over 100 services with estimated prices, or add your own. You enter everything yourself, so Subwise never asks for your bank login. SEE WHAT'S LEFT THIS MONTH Track opens on what you still have to pay this month, followed by everything due in the next two weeks. Short tips built from your own subscriptions point out what's worth a second look. NEVER GET CAUGHT BY A RENEWAL Choose to be reminded the day before, 3 days before, or a week before a charge. PLAN AROUND YOUR BILLING DATES See the month as a list of bills by day, or as a grid with each day's logos. Overdue bills stand out, and weekly, monthly and yearly plans are all projected for you. FIND WHAT TO CUT Analytics breaks your spending down by category and ranks your top spenders, by month or by year. Tap What if? to drop a subscription and watch the total fall, without cancelling anything. ANY CURRENCY Choose from 40 currencies. Each subscription keeps the currency you pay it in, and totals convert to yours. MAKE IT YOURS Light and dark themes, five font sets, and Cancel Them All, a small arcade game where you blast your subscriptions out of the sky. It's only a game. Your real ones stay put.
