Subko was built for one reason: to put you back in charge of your money. Too many people lose track of what they are paying for each month. Subko changes that by giving you a single place to see, organize, and cancel subscriptions that no longer serve you. Every recurring payment you have gets pulled into one clean dashboard. No more guessing, no more surprises. When a service is no longer worth the cost, Subko shows you exactly how to cancel subscriptions tied to that provider with clear, step-by-step directions tailored to each platform. Here is what Subko brings to the table: • One Dashboard for Everything: Add your subscriptions manually with pricing, billing dates, and provider info. Seeing everything together makes it simple to spot waste and cancel subscriptions you have been ignoring. • Provider-Specific Cancellation Steps: Each service has its own process. Subko gives you updated walkthroughs so you can cancel subscriptions without digging through help pages or sitting on hold. • Discover Forgotten Charges: Browse a wide database of services to jog your memory. Find old signups still active and cancel subscriptions you forgot existed. • Refund and Chargeback Help: Already got billed for something you tried to cancel subscriptions for? Subko walks you through the refund request process so you have a real shot at getting your money back. • Spending Breakdown: Monthly and yearly analytics show your total recurring costs at a glance. Knowing the real number makes it easier to cancel subscriptions eating into your budget. • Built for Privacy: Your financial details stay encrypted and private. Subko never shares or sells your information. • IRS Refund Access: Check your federal tax refund status through a built-in browser linking to the official IRS page. Stop overpaying. Download Subko and finally cancel subscriptions that have been quietly costing you for months. NOTE: Subko is a subscription-based app. A subscription is required to access all features. DISCLAIMER: Subko provides tracking and guidance only. It cannot directly cancel subscriptions or modify any service. You must contact providers yourself. The IRS feature opens irs.gov in-app but Subko is not affiliated with the IRS and collects no personal data. Premium: Unlimited tracking, faster support, detailed analytics. Free users can still edit, delete, and review existing entries. Subscription Terms: - Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
