Do you really know how much your subscriptions cost you each month? Netflix, Spotify, iCloud, YouTube, apps, free trials… On their own, they seem reasonable. But over a year, the total can really sting. SubZero shows you your true monthly and yearly cost in seconds. ADD YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS IN 2 TAPS Pick a service, enter the price and billing frequency, and SubZero automatically works out what it costs per month and per year. PAYING IN INSTALLMENTS? TRACK IT ALL A purchase split into 3, 4, 10 monthly payments? Add it as an installment plan: SubZero works out each payment, follows the schedule, and archives it on its own once it's paid off. Your real totals finally separate the temporary from the recurring. NEVER FORGET A FREE TRIAL AGAIN Started a free trial? SubZero can remind you before it turns into a paid plan, whenever you choose. SEE WHAT'S COMING Keep track of your upcoming charges, your spending over the year, your most expensive categories, and the subscriptions weighing most on your budget.
