Summarise What Your Subscriptions Are Actually Costing You
Streaming here, an app there, a membership you forgot existed: it has crept up for years and you have never added it all up. This runs a full subscription audit across streaming, software, memberships, apps, boxes and recurring donations, then shows the true annual cost. The number is usually a shock, and exactly the shock you need to start cancelling.

The user has accumulated subscriptions over years and has never audited them in total. </context> <task> **Run a subscription audit:** 1.

Create a usage versus cost assessment: how often is each service actually used relative to what it costs per use? **Decide what to keep:** 4. Build a decision matrix: keep, pause, cancel, or negotiate 5. Identify which subscriptions are candidates for sharing, downgrading, or renegotiating 6. Calculate the total annual saving from the recommended cuts </task> <output_format> - Audit template: category list, columns for name, monthly cost, annual cost, uses per month, cost per use - Decision matrix: 4-option framework with criteria for each - Summary: total monthly spend before and after, annual saving - Length: 300-400 words - Tone: clear, non-judgmental </output_format>
