Most people are paying for subscriptions they forgot they had. Subcut helps you find them, then cancel the ones you do not want. Scan a bank or credit card statement and Subcut surfaces the recurring charges hiding inside it. The free trial that quietly started billing. The app you stopped opening months ago. The service you meant to cancel and never did. You see exactly what you are paying, and what it adds up to over a year. Find Forgotten Subscriptions • Bank statement import (CSV and PDF): upload a statement and Subcut picks out the recurring charges in about a minute • Email import (Gmail): scan receipts and confirmation emails to detect services automatically • App Store import: pull in your Apple subscriptions instantly • No manual typing, no guessing How import works: your statement or receipts are sent to a secure service that reads them to find recurring charges. They are used only to detect your subscriptions, and are never sold or shared. See Everything in One Calendar • Monthly calendar of every upcoming bill • Tap any day to see what is due • Color-coded categories • Automatic monthly and yearly totals Know what you pay, when you pay, and how much it really costs.
