surf brings every streaming subscription you pay for into one place, so you can finally see what you are spending and easily pause or cancel the services nobody is watching. FIX THE PROBLEM TV used to be cheap and relaxing. Now it's neither. Somewhere along the way, watching TV got expensive and exhausting. Five subscriptions. Prices that go up every year. Ads on a plan that you already pay for. The show you were halfway through turns out to be on a service you cancelled, and the one you are paying for right now... nobody has opened it since last Spring. SEE ALL YOUR STREAMING EXPENSES IN ONE VIEW Every service you subscribe to, with the plan and the price, side by side. No spreadsheet, no guessing, no logging into six different websites to piece it together. Most people are genuinely surprised by what their streaming actually costs. FIND WHAT SERVICES AREN'T USED surf shows you the services that nobody in your household has opened in a while. For most people this is the moment they realize they have been wasting money on something since last season. PAUSE OR CANCEL IN ONE TAP When you decide a service can go, one click in surf is all it takes. No retention offers. No four screens of 'Are you sure?' No dark pattern designed to wear you down until you give up and keep paying. You confirm every action. surf never pauses, cancels, or changes a subscription on its own. RESTORE A SERVICE JUST AS FAST Pausing and canceling does not mean 'losing.' Streaming services keep your profiles, your watchlists and your history right where you left them, and surf makes turning something back on as quick as turning it off. Watch a show, then pause again until the next season. Or take advantage of a service's free trial, and then cancel in one tap before you get billed. Pay for only what you are watching, when you are watching it. FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH The other tax on streaming is time. Twenty minutes of scrolling only to give up and rewatch something from the archives. surf gives you recommendations across the services you currently pay for, so you are choosing from what's already available. And surf doesn't recommend content because a company is paying us to, only the content that's right for you. Or just tell surf what you're in the mood for and surf will set you up. HOW LINKING A SERVICE WORKS To read your plan and your price, surf asks you to sign in to a service. You do that on the provider's own sign-in page, loaded inside the app. surf never sees your password, never fills the form for you, and never stores it. Any two-factor authentication is between you and the provider, exactly the same way you log into that provider's own app. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL You can delete your surf account from inside the app at any time. Doing that removes all stored session material for every service you linked. surf contains no advertising, no tracking identifier, and no third-party analytics. We are on your side. You are the customer here, not the product.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: surf at none against Subscription Manager's 1. surf also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1). Subscription Manager's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
