I'm still building on this everyday. Please let me know what's missing or what should be improved.

Sorry I have to make the “Dropbox” comment!

Why would I not just use a free Google sheet to keep track of what I’m subscribed to.

Or Google calendar, if I want reminders?

frenkel
Indeed you could use one of those. A sheet can't remind you however and Google Calendar has no financial insight such as Everlint.

Nice. I can see a business using this but I don’t think I’d use it personally. A business can have lots of people subscribing to things and less transparency over who subscribed to what and if it is still needed. A tool like this would be valuable.
frenkel
Thanks for the follow up! That was my thinking as well.

Great idea! I wonder if there is a way to include more information about each subscription? For example, 'internet' could be more interesting if there's a tab to show the speed or number of equipment like routers or modems.

My thinking is people definitely forget when they are charged, but may even be forgetting about what they are even paying for!

frenkel
Yes, great idea! I'm considering a notes field, as well as a "vendor name" field for this. Maybe even add the ability to group services by vendor?

Oh the irony in offering a subscription plan that charges people to remember to cancel their subscription :)
frenkel
Lol, yes it's very ironic. For companies there are more benefits though, so for them it shouldn't be that problematic. Maybe I'll make the private user plan free when I find enough company customers.

Today I've added lifetime access for a fixed fee. This will only be available for a limited period of time.
