Sori helps you take back control of your subscriptions. Add what you pay for and instantly see what renews next, which free trials are about to convert, and what you actually spend each month and year - in a clean, private app that works without an account. WHY SORI - Scan, don't type. Point your camera at a bank statement, or import a PDF or screenshot, and Sori finds the subscriptions for you. - See it all at a glance. A spending dashboard with your monthly and yearly totals, upcoming renewals, and trials ending soon. - Never get surprised.

Multi-currency support converts everything into your home currency, with an honest spend trend over time. - Stay organized. Group subscriptions into lists and categories, set payment methods, and keep trials, active, and cancelled plans tidy. - Look back. Your Year in Review recaps what you spent and where it went. - Plan ahead. The What If simulator shows what you would save by cutting a subscription. - Cancel with confidence. Built-in cancellation guides walk you through ending a subscription, and Sori keeps track of what you have cancelled. - On every screen. Native iPhone and iPad layouts, plus Home Screen widgets. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account. No sign-in. Ever. - No ads and no third-party tracking. - Your data stays on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. We never see it. - The statement scanner reads your statement on-device and redacts personal details - your name, IBAN, account and card numbers - before anything is sent for matching. SORI PLUS Sori is free to use. Sori Plus is a one-time purchase (not a subscription) that unlocks iCloud sync across your devices, unlimited subscriptions, custom lists and categories, custom reminder schedule, and higher statement-scan limits.
