From Netflix to Gym Memberships: Apps to Help Cancel Subscriptions You'll Actually Use

Canceling Unwanted Subscriptions Made Easy

Many people are unaware of the money they are losing due to forgotten subscriptions. A forgotten streaming service or unused gym membership can still be auto-renewing, resulting in unnecessary expenses.

A common scenario is signing up for a free trial and forgetting to cancel, leading to monthly charges of $14.99 or more. These small charges can add up to hundreds of dollars per year.

There are apps available that can help cancel unwanted subscriptions and reclaim finances. Companies often make it easy to join but difficult to leave, relying on customers forgetting auto-renewal dates or getting overwhelmed by customer service.
