I’m looking for a tool that can help me keep track of what subscriptions I’m paying for. I don’t really need extra functionality, I’m happy to cancel them manually. As someone who listens to podcasts, I’ve heard about Rocket Money, and it seems like it would get the job done. The question is: can I trust them with all of that data? Are there more privacy-respecting alternatives I should be considering?
Just FYI about rocket money, I looked into using it before and found out they actually charge you for things they cancel.
I don’t remember exactly how it worked, but something like a percentage of the potential money you saved. So if you have a $100/mo subscription that they help you cancel, that is not $10 that goes to them, but someting like $120 (10% of the annual cost, not monthly).
I’m making those numbers up, but the idea was something like that. It felt pretty scummy when I read about it because they don’t make it super obvious how they’re making money.
