Find every subscription you pay for
- Go through 12 months of bank statements — annual subscriptions only appear once a year.
- Check Direct Debits and recurring card payments in your banking app.
- Look at Apple subscriptions (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions) and Google Play subscriptions.
- Don't forget PayPal preapproved payments, Amazon Subscribe & Save, and free trials that rolled into paid plans.
Decide what stays and what goes
- For each subscription, ask: did I use it in the last month? Would I miss it tomorrow?
- Annual plans: set a reminder a month before renewal — that's your decision point, not the renewal email.
- Look for duplicates: two music services, three streaming platforms doing the same job.
- Downgrade before you cancel — a cheaper tier of something you half-use beats paying full price.
Track them so they can't sneak back
Add every surviving subscription to UK Bill Tracker — free, no card required. You'll get a reminder before each renewal date, see the true monthly cost of all subscriptions added together, and spot immediately when a price creeps up.

How do I find all my subscriptions?
