As you are all aware, you get services and software on a subscription basis now. So you need to track your subscriptions to avoid any nasty surprises. I have tried several options and came up with two excellent choices.
1. TrackMySubs
The free plan (Starter) lets you track up to 10 subscriptions.
Starter Plus, $6 per month or $60 per year - 20 subscriptions.
Entrepreneur, $12 per month or $120 per year - 50 subscriptions.
Unlimited, $18 per month or $180 per year - unlimited number of subscriptions.
- Web
- Alert profiles (e.g. 1 week before, 3 days before, and 1 day before the payment date), paid plans only
- Lifetime deals tracking
- Over 160 currencies and conversion of all subscriptions to your base currency
- CSV import/export
- drag-and-drop, etc.
Update (as of July 3, 2021 4:52am GMT):
- It seems they don't offer iOS or Android companion apps
- You can easily get the Unlimited plan for $90 per year
2. Bobby
An excellent app, iOS only.

N.B. Please suggest your own favorite, if you know one.

| An ordinary online calendar | Jul 5, 2021 |
I use the calendar feature of Hotmail; you can create any type of calendar therein, e.g. a "Subscriptions" calendar where you can track your subscriptions therein and thus avoid nasty surprises.
I suppose other online calendars offer similar features.

Thanks for mentioning this option, Georgi. You can also use an Excel spreadsheet if you wish.
I have tried using calendars for subscription tracking purposes. However, TrackMySubs offers many advantages over a spreadsheet or calendar. And it is very easy to use indeed. A pleasant experience, you know.

1. Conversions from multiple currencies to your base currency (Russian ruble in my case).
2. Multiple alerts based on alert templates a.k.a. alert profiles. For instance, for annual subscriptions, you can set up the alerts so that you will receive the first alert 1 month before the payment date, then 2 weeks before the due date, then 5 days before the due date, etc.
3. Placing the subscriptions into different categories, or folders (e.g. Utilities, Entertainment, Business), with an option to add subcategories (e.g. Business -> Software, Internet, Mobile, Taxes). This will help you analyze and cut down your costs. ▲ Collapse
