About this product

THE OUTCOME

SubSweeper turns a 20-minute audit into total clarity: every subscription in one list, your true monthly AND annual burn, your 5 most expensive plans ranked side by side, and an auto-generated cancel queue of the ones you're paying for but not using. Work the queue, cancel the waste, keep the ones you love — then re-run your audit monthly in minutes.

WHO IT'S FOR

Anyone with more subscriptions than they can name: streamers juggling 4+ services, freelancers with stacked software tools, families sharing plans nobody tracks, and anyone who's ever been surprised by a renewal charge.

THE PROBLEM

Your subscriptions are bleeding you dry — quietly. The average household pays for a dozen or more recurring services and can only name about half of them. The free trial that converted to a paid plan. The fitness app from last January. The cloud tier you outgrew. Each one looks harmless at $9.99 or $14.99 a month — but added up over a year, forgotten subscriptions can easily cost you over a thousand dollars you never consciously approved.

FEATURES → WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU

• 100% live formulas — zero macros, zero add-ins, zero data leaving your device → your financial list stays private on your computer.
• Stable Audit Date input (defaults to 2026-10-18) instead of volatile TODAY() → your "days since used" figures are repeatable; set it to today each audit and compare months honestly.
• Auto-flagged cancel queue (unused 60+ days, or $30+/month with no recorded usage) → the waste finds you; work the queue top to bottom.
• Flip Status to "Cancelled" and the queue and dashboard update themselves → watch your burn drop in real time as you cancel.
• Dropdowns for category, billing cycle, and status + conditional formatting → clean reports, highlighted waste, greyed-out cancelled plans.
• IFERROR guards throughout → blank cells and edge cases never produce error cells.

HOW IT WORKS

• List every recurring charge from your statements (SubSweeper's guide shows you where to look).
• Type them into the yellow input cells on the SUBSCRIPTIONS sheet.
• Read your burn on the DASHBOARD; work the CANCEL QUEUE top to bottom.
• Cancel with each provider, flip Status to "Cancelled," watch the queue and dashboard update.
• Re-run monthly: set the Audit Date to today.

IDEAL CUSTOMER — PICTURE THIS

A freelancer with stacked software tools, three streaming services, and a gym app from last January spends 20 minutes entering everything from card statements. The dashboard shows $126.93/month in true burn; the cancel queue flags four subscriptions worth $1,019.64 a year. She cancels three before dinner.

WHO IT IS NOT FOR

• People with two or three subscriptions they already track — there's nothing to audit.
• Anyone wanting automatic discovery or bank sync — you enter every subscription yourself; SubSweeper can't connect to your bank or find charges for you.
• Anyone expecting guaranteed savings — all savings figures are estimates from your own inputs, never guaranteed.
• Businesses needing expense management — this is a personal/household organization tool (personal-use license).

FORMATS

XLSX spreadsheet — Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets (upload to Drive, open with Sheets), LibreOffice Calc. No macros; all standard formulas.

PREREQUISITES

A spreadsheet app (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice — all free options work). About 20 minutes for your first audit. Your bank/card statements or subscription settings pages to find every recurring charge.

LIMITATIONS

• You enter the data yourself — SubSweeper can't discover subscriptions automatically or connect to your bank.
• All savings figures are estimates from your own inputs, not guaranteed savings.
• Cancellation terms, notice periods, and refund policies vary by provider; some make cancelling deliberately difficult. Check each provider's terms.
• Not financial advice — it's a personal organization tool.
• 30 subscription rows per workbook (covers the vast majority of households).

DELIVERY

LICENSE

Personal use only — use for your own household's subscriptions. No redistribution, resale, or sharing of the files.

FAQ

• Does it work in Google Sheets? Yes — upload the .xlsx to Google Drive and open with Google Sheets. All formulas are compatible with Excel, Sheets, and LibreOffice.
• Is my financial data sent anywhere? No. It's a plain spreadsheet file with no macros, no external links, and no network calls. Everything stays on your device.
• What if I don't know when I last used something? Estimate it — or leave it blank. Note: blank usage combined with $30+/month still flags the item for review.
• Why an Audit Date instead of TODAY()? TODAY() changes daily, so your numbers would drift. The fixed Audit Date (default 2026-10-18) freezes the measurement — update it to today each time you audit.
• What if I have more than 30 subscriptions? 30 rows covers the vast majority of households. If you truly have more, consolidate family/household plans or run a second copy for a second person.
