Create an app to track all your subscriptions, renewal dates, monthly costs, and total spend in one place.
Step-by-step guide
6 steps
- 1
List all your subscriptions
Include every recurring payment: streaming services, software, gym memberships, insurance, newsletters. Most people underestimate how many they have.
- 2
Build the tracker with Appaca
Tell Appaca "Build a subscription tracker with renewal dates, monthly cost, annual total, and a cancel reminder." Appaca creates the full app.
- 3
Add fields for each subscription
Name, category, monthly cost, billing cycle (monthly/annual), next renewal date, payment method, and status (active/paused/cancelled).
- 4
Calculate monthly and annual spend
Calculated fields aggregate all active subscriptions into a total monthly spend and annual spend figure. Seeing this number is often eye-opening.
- 5
Set renewal reminders
A view showing subscriptions renewing in the next 14 days gives you time to decide whether to renew or cancel before you are charged.
- 6
Review and cancel unused subscriptions
Add a "Last used" date to each subscription. When reviewing, any subscription you haven't used in 30+ days is a candidate for cancellation.
