Truebill — Find your paid subscriptions and cancel with one click

@bentossell @idris Hi Ben, while we'll report on all subscriptions we've built specific functionality around monitoring to catch increases, double bills, or being billed for things you thought you'd cancel. Ultimately we want to manage the full lifecycle of the subscription for you - including pausing or adjusting your plan, not just canceling. Thanks!

@hnshah Good call this one is solid! Every bank should offer text messages when they see a new subscription.

@jakemor I'm glad you asked! We never store your bank credentials. We integrate with Plaid's API to get the transactions from your bank. You can read about Plaid's security here: https://plaid.com/security Also, we have a read-only API into your accounts, so we can't transfer money out, etc.

@idris @jakemor hmm, I'd feel a lot more comfortable inputting my information if it was at least an iframe from Plaid, the bank/paypal, oauth, etc. When it comes down to it, the form is sending data to truebill.com. If it weren't for this being endorsed by a few folks on here I would be too wary to try it out. That said, looks awesome and super useful.

@ourielohayon Thanks!

@thinker thanks for the encouragement! A lot of people are looking for this, and even more people don't realize they need it yet. So much time and money is wasted trying (and failing) to keep up with all these paid subscriptions.

@graphicartwork Believe me, we wish we could support more UK institutions. It's definitely in the works!

@mostlymarius Quite a few people seem to be having issues with PayPal today, so that may be the Product hunt rush. As for Canada, we're working with our provider to get more solid international support.

@idris No problem, I'll check back in a few days and see if I manage to get through! Seems like an excellent service.

@tim061693 Hi Tim, thanks for the feedback! We think finding and canceling subscriptions is a great way to build a product that people love and that helps save money, but there's definitely more to our vision than that. Essentially, subscriptions are becoming a bigger and bigger part of our everyday life - and the average person is shifting more of their spending to subscriptions. Even large companies are now shifting entirely to a subscription model - i.e. Microsoft Office is now available only as a subscription. This is great for consumers, it's convenient and can also be cheaper, but it also becomes a problem trying to keep track of and manage 15 different subscriptions. So we see that as our mission, to manage the full lifecycle of subscriptions - from discovery to enrollment to personalization to management to cancellation. We think subscriptions can be a great tool to simplify your life - if you have a simple solution to manage them.

@yahyamokh @tim061693 Agreed - with the world of SaaS growing like crazy - I could see this as a great enterprise grade tool as well.

@chakkaradeep This is definitely on the roadmap for 2016

@yahyamokh You should partner up with NerdWallet!! I could see this being a super useful tool within their ecosystem.

@brynatweets We actually spoke to them a few months ago when we had just started building. May be time to reconnect :-)

@yahyamokh How do I link PayPal if I don't do it during the initial onboarding? I've been looking for a product like this for a long time now. I currently have my assistant log into my accounts every few months and manually find recurring subscriptions for me to review

@itsthisjustin Hi Justin. In the top menu click "Add Linked Account" then click "view more" at the bottom of the modal. Then type Paypal into the search box and it will come up. We're working on making this more streamlined. Hopefully your assistant will appreciate Truebill then :-)

@yahyamokh this service seems cool, but i'm a little worried that it's free.. how will you charge / make money (eventually)? and how are you using the data that you collect?

@juergenhoebarth Hi Juergen, we never sell or share your data. Right now we actually don't make revenue, but in the future we hope we can make money through personalized recommendations.

@elkefleing Hi Elke, unfortunately we don't have great international support yet, and international Paypal accounts have been giving us some trouble recently as well. We'll be sure to let you know when we are able to support more European banks.

@randallb Hi Randall. The idea is that in the future we'll be able to recommend services to you - like "hey you might enjoy Spotify". Spotify would then pay us a referral fee if you decide to sign up.

@yahyamokh @randallb "If you like Netflix, you'll love Amazon Prime Video" etc etc.

@bradflora @yahyamokh @randallb "If you hate Comcast/Xfinity, you might slightly hate Fios less :)" (personal experience)

@yahyamokh @randallb I was wondering this same thing and this does help clear it up. This is Mint's model as well so it makes sense. I don't know what other users would think about this but assuming * you're saving money for me * and this makes me happy :) * you are tracking subscription categories like mobile phone, internet service, etc. * I cancel a service _and switch to a new similar service_ I'd be open to you asking me why I switched, especially if it's a quick poll via email with optional detailed response. And if * enough users are answering why they switched * you have those analytics * you see an unusual amount of switching with similar reasons for switching or a surge in users switching to/from similar services * _I_ use a service that is being "abandoned" :) * I would be interested to know those trends and where they are going Or perhaps this is already in the pipeline… :) The signup needs to accept `.name` domains for email though. :( [edit]Sorry I don't see a way to contact your tech crew via the site since I can't sign up. So it looks like maybe just the regex for the email address TLD needs to be a bit more relaxed. :)

@my_chiguai @randallb Right, also one other thing we can do, a lot of times when you cancel a subscription the company will make a special offer - i.e. "we'll give you 3 months free if you stay". We can roll out this feature and charge subscription companies to access it (but you'll still be able to cancel with just a click).

@amathewz I found that Amazon Audible to be the same, ~$120.

@kvn_chiu Definitely on our roadmap.
