I audited every subscription I pay for. Here's what I found.
Last month I sat down and listed every single recurring charge hitting my card. The total? $387/month.
Here's the breakdown of what I found:
Stuff I actually use daily: $89/month (Notion, Spotify, iCloud, a few dev tools)
Stuff I use sometimes: $142/month (Adobe, multiple AI tools with overlapping features, a gym I visit twice a month)
Stuff I completely forgot about: $156/month. This was the wake-up call. Old trials that converted. Duplicate services. A news subscription from 2023.
That's nearly $1,900/year going to things I didn't even know I was paying for.
The fix isn't complicated — it just requires visibility. You can't cut what you can't see.
That's why I built SubScope. One place to track everything, get renewal reminders, and actually see the full picture of your subscription spending.
If you've never done a full subscription audit, try it this weekend. You'll be surprised.
