Optimization Guides

Use actual usage to decide on renewals

Do not renew based on price alone. Renew based on whether the subscription is still creating value.

Price is not the only signal

Some subscriptions are expensive but used every day. Others are cheap, yet have not been opened in months.

The best decisions happen when you consider price and usage together.

A simple decision matrix

  • High usage + high value: keep it
  • High usage + low value: look for a cheaper plan
  • Low usage + high price: review first
  • Low usage + low value: pause or cancel

Three questions to ask before renewal

  1. Have I used this consistently in the last month?
  2. Does it solve a core problem or a side problem?
  3. If I pause it, will I feel the loss immediately?
