Which subscription goes first?
Type what you pay and how often you actually use each one. The sorter ranks them by cost per use, tells you which to cancel first and adds up what you would save.
This sorter guesses. The app keeps the record.
This page is from the team behind MoneyShield: Sub Tracker for iPhone. This page only knows what you type in. According to its App Store listing, the app helps you decide, act and follow up:
- Cancel First: a ranked list of subscriptions worth cancelling, with the reason for each
- One tap to Keep, Review Later or start cancelling
- A What If planner that shows the effect on your next 30 days, monthly spend and yearly spend
- A Cancellation Assistant that points to the official cancellation route, with a checklist and copy-ready request templates
- A 30-day charge timeline, so you see what is billing next
Everything on this page is an estimate from the numbers you type. Examples are made up. Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere.
How the ranking works
Cost per use is the monthly price divided by how many times you used it that month. A 40 a month gym you visited three times costs more than 13 a visit. A 10 a month music service you play every day costs about 33 cents a day.
The "most one use is worth to you" figure is yours to set. Anything at or under it is marked worth keeping. Up to double it is think about it. Over double, or never used, is a cancel candidate.
Before you cancel
Check how you pay. A subscription bought through Apple is cancelled in your Apple account. One bought directly from the company is cancelled with them.
Note the paid-through date. Many services keep working until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Keep the confirmation. A screenshot or confirmation number makes it much easier to dispute a charge that should have stopped.
Questions
How do I decide which subscriptions to cancel?
Start with the ones you did not use last month, then rank the rest by cost per use. The ones with the highest cost per use are usually the best to cancel first.
What is a good cost per use?
It depends on what the thing is worth to you. That is why this sorter lets you set the most you would pay for one use, and compares everything against it.
Does this page connect to my bank?
No. It only uses the numbers you type, and nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
