Track renewals, get reminders, view analytics in beautiful dashboards, and use AI to optimize your subscription spending. Discord Bot, Chrome Extension. Email forwarding receipts. Also manage your credit card bills; when I said you can manage all recurring things: I meant it.
What inspired you to build this?
Honestly? Pure frustration.
I kept opening my bank app and seeing random charges like “$9.99” or “$14.99” and just sitting there like… what is THIS? Half the time I couldn’t even remember what I subscribed to. A free trial would quietly flip into a paid plan, or some app I used once would keep charging me every month.
I had subscriptions everywhere, streaming stuff, random software tools, apps I forgot existed. And the worst part was that I knew I was wasting money, I just didn’t know where or how much.
At first, it was just about tracking subscriptions. But then I realized something bigger.
Nobody actually has the time or energy to manually go to a website and add every single subscription they have. That’s not how real people behave. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is hunt down receipts and type stuff into a dashboard.
So the real problem became two things:
* subscriptions are invisible and easy to forget
* managing them manually is friction-heavy and unrealistic
Existing tools didn’t help much. Some charge you every month just to tell you you’re overspending (which is kinda ironic). Others try to do everything, bill negotiation, credit scores, random finance features nobody asked for.
I just wanted something that:
* tracks subscriptions automatically or with minimal effort
* reminds you *before* you get charged
* shows clearly where your money is going
* doesn’t itself become another subscription you forget about
So, I started super simple, just a dashboard where you could manually add subscriptions. But pretty quickly I realized: this still puts too much work on the user.
That’s when I focused on reducing friction as much as possible.
Instead of expecting people to manually log everything, I added two core solutions:
* a Chrome extension that detects subscriptions when you sign up or pay (you just confirm the details and press Add)
* receipt forwarding, where you just forward your emails and subscriptions get added automatically (still in beta)
No extra effort, no forms, no “I’ll do it later.” It just happens.
Now came the the biggest shift: PRICING.
I looked at competitors charging monthly forever and thought, why should you pay monthly just to track monthly payments?
You can track 3 subscriptions forever for free. No credit card. If you want unlimited, it’s a one-time $29. Pay once, done. No recurring fees. Ever.
I also made a conscious decision to keep it focused. No upsells, no random finance junk. Just something clutter free that genuinely helps.
If you wanna try it, it’s free at payping.space. Track 3 subscriptions forever, no card required. And if you need more, the lifetime deal costs less than what most apps charge you in a few months.
Built out of pure annoyance… but honestly, that’s how the best tools start.
Congrats on the launch. How does this compare with all the existing reduce-your-subscriptions sites that are constantly advertising on TV, podcasts, etc?
That's a good idea and you have carried it out to the end. Congratulations. Regarding the specific subscription information, do you need users to fill it out manually or will it be automatically integrated?
Subscription fatigue is real. Does PayPing allow for 'one-click' cancellations directly through the app, or is it primarily a dashboard for tracking? Integrating a 'pause' feature for certain SaaS subs would be a killer addition!
I think this is extremely useful product. But some of my subscriptions don't send email at all and that's why I forget I have the subscription. I know it only when I see my bill. But many times even when I see my bill I can't remember what what this item is as the charging company is different than the product name. I can only tell it is a subscription when I find every month I have 10 dollar charged from the same source.
So ideally we may include credit card info as a source but it needs user's trust as well. so hard question indeed.
Another point there are other personal finance product such as Rocket Money that needs to access your account info. And it can track subscription there. How can you differentiate yourself from that?
Congrats on the launch! I really like how you focused on reducing friction instead of adding more finance features nobody asked for, especially the receipt forwarding + browser detection combo. How reliable is the subscription detection today, and where does it still struggle?
Congrats on the launch! This is the exact pain point I'm facing as I use more and more AI tools that requires subscriptions. Personal story: I was charged 400$ by Manus just cuz I forgot to cancel the 7-day free trial... Really frustrating isn't it? I like your clean UI design and I bet this would be helpful for a lot of people like us.
Hey Muhammad. I really like this app. I was searching for a tool so I dont have to build it myself. One nice feature I would really like is that it automatcally fetches all my invoices from my Gmail so I dont have to manually upload it. It identifies which subscriptions I have based on my invoices in a seperate folder in my Gmail.
This feature would be awesome. Cause you know, developers are layze peope ;)
I actually think I received an advertisement for this elsewhere, so nice work. I very much enjoy how the graphics update dynamically based on which subscriptions are the most expensive.
However, as I'm sure you're aware there are other budgeting apps that offer this as a feature, curious how you see yourself as a differentiator?
Your onboarding hinges on low-friction capture (extension detection + receipt/email import). Which input source has proven most reliable so far, what are the top failure cases (mis-detected merchants, annual plans, price changes), and how do you design UX to keep users trusting the data?
Congrats on the launch! As someone who always loses track of digital subscriptions, this feels super useful. Also I really like the clean look of the website, definitely a fan of all the different colours theme you went for.
I got a question though, does PayPing detect price increases or plan changes automatically?
Pay once to stop paying forever? That alone deserves an upvote :D Congrats on the launch!
I’ll admit I was a bit worried at first about keeping so much sensitive payment account and bill info all in one place. I’d love to know: what specific measures has the platform taken for data encryption, storage and access permissions to keep my financial information completely safe?
