How Many Subscriptions Do You Have? 😵
27
Hey, Product Hunt friends! I just realized… I have no idea how many subscriptions I’ve signed up for! 😅 Every month, I see random charges on my card for services I completely forgot about or don’t even use anymore. Does anyone else struggle with this?

should be around 5, I guess that's not a lot? haha

@senthil99nathan Yeah, I guess that's not much at all! Haha, totally manageable. 😊

858 for today. It's time to reach 1000 :)

@nickanisimov I think that's a lot. What are those?

@nickanisimov You're not saying all 858 are paid subscriptions, right? I'm also curious how you managed to count them all!

@nickanisimov 858 is awesome. Almost there, let’s hit that 1k! Btw how do you manage them?

I try to keep a good subscription hygiene, cancelling everything as soon as its not needed 🤫

@grantogany Thats a grat practice. what if there was a tool to keep track of all in one place?

I put every subscription on a virtual card with a limit. If I forget about one, at least it won’t auto-renew on me without warning.

@abigailwiliam11 Thats a good one. But how about keep track of all your spends within a single dashboard?

this is why i stick to free trials and nothing else haha

Hi Priyanka! How are you? I am guilty of that as well, but as of this month, I took time cleaning up my list of subsccriptions and I think I cancelled around 30% of them already. Still going through the rest. Oh btw, I sent you a message in LinkedIn :-)

@jao_japitana i feel you. How about a single dashboard to keep track of all of it?

Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, Adobe CC, Headspace... I think I have like 8 or 9 subscriptions total 😅 It definitely adds up quick! Trying to figure out which ones I can cut. Anyone else feel like subscription overload is becoming a problem these days?

@thomasjackson Yes, it is a "thing"! I'm paying attention to what apps/tools/services I'm using and eliminating the ones I don't use on a regular basis. For example, I'll probably pull the plug on Netflix and Hulu, I log in and then can't find anything interesting to watch, then end up listening to music or watching YT content.

@thomasjackson @vlaneart :D, need a solid tracking dashboard! XD

I have 3 but I maintain one Notion page about it so you can revisit and add one column "Frequency of Usage" and decide, It will take seconds but save money

Too many to count! Between streaming services, cloud storage, creative tools, and productivity apps, I'm probably hovering around a dozen. My wallet is definitely feeling the subscription fatigue. 😅 Anyone else in the same boat or found ways to optimize and consolidate?
PRIYANKA MANDAL
@michaelanthonyroberts Same! XD, wouldnt it be great if it was possible to keep track of everything with ease? ;)
Alexa
Hey Priyanka! You're definitely not alone in this. I was in the same boat.
Hilario Poguet
Same here! I’ve lost count of how many subscriptions I have.

Are you referring to paid subscriptions? If so, I think I have over 10 subscriptions, and they take my money without me even noticing,,,

Around 20-30. Thankfully I maintain a sheet where all my subscriptions are listed down with their purpose and the next renewal date or billing cycle. This helps me track and cancel the ones I won't need. I review this between the 25th to 27th of every month.
