How to audit your subscriptions
Go through a bank or card statement and add every regular payment: its price, how often it bills, and roughly how often you use it. Weekly prices are multiplied by 52, monthly by 12 and quarterly by 4 to get the yearly cost; the monthly figure is the yearly one divided by 12.
Cost per use is the yearly cost divided by the number of times you use it in a year. Anything above your limit, or not used at all, is flagged as low value. “Tick the low-value ones” marks those for cancelling, and the tag shows what that would save; tick or untick any row yourself.

Questions
What counts as a use?
Whatever makes sense for that service: a film night, a gym visit, an issue read, a lesson done. A rough count is fine; the point is to spot the ones you rarely touch.
Is my list sent anywhere?
No. It stays in your browser’s local storage on this device. Clearing the list or your browser data removes it.
Why does a weekly price give an odd monthly figure?
A month is not a whole number of weeks, so a weekly price times 52, divided by 12, comes to about 4.33 weeks’ worth a month.
