Introduction: The Hidden Cost of Forgetting to Cancel Subscriptions

Have you ever signed up for a free trial, only to be charged months later because you forgot to cancel?
You’re not alone — billions are lost every year due to forgotten subscription renewals.

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to cancel unwanted subscriptions automatically and avoid renewal fees — saving you time, money, and stress with the help of SubTracker.

Why Cancelling Subscriptions Manually is a Problem

Manually tracking and cancelling subscriptions is:

  • Time-consuming: You have to log in to each service individually.

  • Easy to forget: Renewal dates are often hidden or unclear.

  • Emotionally difficult: Some companies pressure you into staying.

That’s why using a smart cancel subscription app like SubTracker is the better, smarter way.
