About

FlipSub

Take control of your subscriptions. FlipSub finds supported subscriptions from your receipts, shows what you're paying for, and lets you cancel or restart services from one place. Connect a supported mailbox and FlipSub looks for subscription-related receipts from supported services. Your matches become a clean dashboard with detected status, category, price, and monthly total, so you can see what is active, what is canceled, and where your recurring spend is going. When you are ready to act, tap a subscription to check, cancel, or restart supported services. Some services can be handled directly; others open a guided in-app handoff so you stay in control when a provider needs sign-in, confirmation, or payment review. What FlipSub helps with: - Find supported subscriptions from email receipts - See detected monthly spend at a glance - Review active and canceled services in one place - Check prices and subscription status when available - Cancel or restart supported services with guided help - Keep selected subscription records refreshed over time FlipSub is free to download. Without FlipSub Pro, users can view one detected subscription. A monthly FlipSub Pro auto-renewable subscription is required to view every detected subscription, use unlimited cancel and restart automations, turn subscriptions off and back on, and perform unlimited email rescans. Privacy is central to FlipSub. FlipSub does not read your whole inbox. With your permission, it asks your email provider for messages that match service-related sender or domain filters for supported services. Messages outside those filters are not used to build your dashboard. FlipSub does not sell your data, does not run ads, and does not use your email data to train AI models. Current supported-service coverage includes Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, YouTube Premium, Spotify, and Amazon Prime. Coverage, detected details, and available actions can vary by service, plan, region, provider changes, and account state. FlipSub is currently focused on users in the United States. Third-party service names are used only to identify services FlipSub may help you manage and do not imply sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement.
