Most Americans underestimate their subscription spend by 2 to 3 times. Add the services you pay for, rate how often you actually use them, and we'll calculate your annual waste plus the cheaper or free replacements you've been missing.
STEP 1 OF 2
Start typing and we'll auto-match Netflix, Spotify, ChatGPT Plus, Adobe, NordVPN, gym memberships, and 155+ more.
Add at least one subscription to reveal your score.
Tip: rate each subscription 1–5 dots based on real usage. Apps you barely open = 1 dot. Things you'd cry without = 5 dots.
Average monthly spend
2024–2025 surveys put average American subscription spend at $219–$273 per month. That's $2,600 to $3,300 a year before groceries.
How badly we underestimate
When asked to guess their monthly subscription spend, Americans typically guess one third of the real number. The other two thirds is pure subscription creep.
Of services we forget we have
About 42% of US adults admit to paying for at least one subscription they completely forgot about. The average forgotten subscription costs $11.40/month.

Independent surveys from C+R Research, Bango, and Empower in 2024–2025 found that the average American spends $219–$273 per month on subscriptions, or about $2,600 to $3,300 a year. The number tends to creep up by ~$15/month annually as new AI and streaming services launch.
You type a subscription name. We fuzzy-match it against a curated database of 155+ services pulled from public American pricing pages, then ask you to rate real usage from 1 to 5 dots. The waste score is the dollar value of subscriptions you rated 1 or 2 dots (the ones you barely use), projected over a year.
It's free, anonymous, and runs entirely in your browser. We don't ask for your email and we don't have a database.
Click "Add custom" and type the name and monthly price. It'll be added to your tally; we just won't have curated alternatives for it.
Free Claude, free Gemini, and free Perplexity are all very competitive with paid GPT-4 for daily use. For pay-per-use, OpenRouter typically beats $20/mo subscriptions for most hobbyists. Run the calculator with ChatGPT Plus added to see a side-by-side comparison.
