Renewal & Subscription Tracker | Stay Ahead of Renewals, Save Money

"Wait, I'm still paying for that?" "When does this renew?" "How much am I spending on subscriptions?"

If you've ever been surprised by an unwanted charge... or paid for a subscription you forgot you had... or missed a cancellation window and got charged for another year... this tracker is for you.

The Hidden Cost of Forgotten Subscriptions

Recurring subscriptions and renewals quietly drain budgets when they go unnoticed. Missed renewal dates lead to unwanted charges, unused services, and unnecessary expenses.

Without a tracking system, people:

• Forget renewal dates (and get charged unexpectedly)
• Pay for unused subscriptions (streaming services, apps, memberships)
• Miss cancellation windows (auto-renew catches you off guard)
• Underestimate total recurring costs (small charges add up)
• Waste money on services they no longer need

The average person wastes over $200 per year on forgotten subscriptions.

The Solution: Track, Review, Decide

The Renewal & Subscription Tracker provides a clear, centralized system to track renewal dates, costs, and decisions—so spending stays intentional and controlled.

Instead of reacting to surprise charges, you turn renewal management into a simple monthly review process:

Track → Review → Decide

This prevents surprise charges and supports better financial decisions.

1. Renewal & Subscription Log

• Track all recurring services in one place

2. Automatic Highlighting

• See upcoming renewals immediately
• Visual alerts for renewals in the next 30 days
• Catch renewals before they charge
• Plan cancellations with time to spare
• No more surprise charges

3. Decision Tracking

• Stay accountable to your spending goals

4. Summary View
