The average person pays for 12–20 active subscriptions at any given time. A significant portion of those — studies consistently find 2–6 per person — are services they have either forgotten about entirely or no longer use but never cancelled. At an average of $12–$15 per forgotten subscription, the typical person leaks $300–$1,200 per year in charges they have no awareness of.

Find Hidden Subscriptions →The Keep / Cancel Decision
For every subscription found, apply the 30-day test: have I used this in the past 30 days? If no, cancel immediately. You can resubscribe if you genuinely miss it. The asymmetry always favours cancelling — the cost of resubscribing to something you miss is one month's fee. The cost of keeping something you do not use is ongoing indefinitely.
