The average household now spends more on subscriptions than it realises — surveys consistently find people underestimate their own total by a wide margin, because subscriptions are designed to be invisible after signup.
Subtrackers exists to answer one question honestly: is this actually worth what you’re paying for it?
What makes this different
Most “best subscription” articles are ranked lists optimised to get you to sign up for something. We’re structured around the arithmetic instead:
- Break-even maths. Not “Prime is great,” but “Prime pays for itself at about 20 small orders a year — here’s how to count yours.”
- The full-year number. Monthly pricing is designed to feel small. We show the annual figure.
- Verdicts that include “cancel.” A comparison where every option wins isn’t a comparison.
Who runs it
Subtrackers is written and run by Chad.
I’m not a financial advisor and nothing here is financial advice. What this site offers is arithmetic — done carefully, shown in full, and dated — so you can check the working rather than take my word for it. Where I’m uncertain about a number, I say so.
