Subscription Audit
Total subscription costs and estimate what unused services waste.
About Subscription Audit
Multiplying subscriptions by their average cost gives monthly spend, and the unused percentage reveals the annual waste. Recurring fees silently compound, and a single audit usually finds a big annual number hiding in small monthly charges.
Formula
Subscription Audit
Monthly = count x cost; wasted = annual x unused share
- unused share
- Rough share of subscriptions you rarely touch
