What your subscriptions add up to

Subscriptions start one at a time, on different days, from different accounts, and the only place they ever appear together is a bank statement nobody reads line by line. This page asks you for one number before you look, then walks you through the categories one at a time so the list can be longer than the guess.

How it works

  1. 1Write down what you think you spend in a month, before you look anything up
  2. 2Go through the categories and add what you pay, marking anything billed yearly
  3. 3See the guess, the list, the difference, and what the list comes to over twelve months

Why the guess and the list rarely match

In a 2022 survey of 1,000 consumers, the amount people first estimated they spent each month on subscriptions averaged $86. When the same people were asked category by category, the average came to $219.

West Monroe asked 2,500 consumers to guess in June 2021 and found 66 percent were off by more than $200, against 24 percent when the firm ran the same exercise in 2018.

This list is gone when you close the tab. Some of what is on it comes with benefits people forget they have: search a membership by name in LifQ and it reads what the provider publishes about it.
