Features

Subscriptions are quiet by design. They renew while you're not looking, and the receipts vanish into inbox folders you never open. SpendSentry is the watchdog. One list, every subscription, each with the date it will charge you next. ADD A SUB IN THREE TAPS Pick the provider, set the price, set the renewal date. Done. A full catalog of common services is built in — and anything we don't know, you can add by hand. KNOW WHAT'S COMING Every subscription shows its next charge date up front. No surprises on your statement, no "wait, I still pay for that?" YOURS STAYS YOURS No bank logins. No account linking. No inbox access. You enter what you know; SpendSentry keeps watch over it. Your data isn't sold, shared, or used to market other products to you. EDIT AND PRUNE FREELY Prices change, trials end, services get cut. Update or remove any subscription in seconds and the list stays honest. SpendSentry is the companion app for SpendSentry members. Sign in with the email you used when you joined.
