Quick Start
Organize spending by billing cycle and category
When bills are grouped clearly, it becomes much easier to see which recurring costs deserve to stay.
Why billing cycle comes first
Subscriptions are easy to underestimate because monthly and annual charges blur together.
Separating them by billing cycle makes it easier to answer two questions:
- How much do I need to spend each month no matter what
- Whether a large group of annual renewals is about to hit at once
First-level categories to start with
- Monthly
- Annual
- Free trial
Second-level categories to add next
- Productivity
- Entertainment
- Cloud services and storage
- AI and developer tools
- Lifestyle services
High-value signals to watch for
- Duplicate subscriptions inside the same category
- Annual services that are barely used
- One category growing much faster than expected
