Subscription Manager Pro

Track all your subscriptions, get alerts before renewals, identify forgotten services, and calculate total spend. Never pay for something you forgot to cancel again.

Stop paying for subscriptions you forgot about. Track everything, get reminded before charges, and reclaim your money.

Why This Skill?

The average person wastes $133/month on forgotten subscriptions (C+R Research, 2022). This skill helps you:

• 📋 Track all subscriptions in one place
• ⏰ Alert you before renewal dates (configurable)
• 💰 Calculate total monthly/yearly spend
• 🔍 Identify unused or duplicate services
• 📊 Analyze spending patterns and suggest cuts

Use When

• User mentions "subscriptions", "recurring charges", "monthly bills"
• User asks about Netflix, Spotify, AWS, or any service cost
• User wants to audit their spending
• User says "what am I paying for" or "cancel subscription"
• User wants renewal reminders
