What's the most embarrassing subscription you forgot you were paying for?
byβ’
Hey everyone π
Quick context: I just launched Butcem, a budget app with a built-in
AI subscription auditor. While building it, I tested the audit feature
on my own bank statements and discovered I'd been paying $9.99/month
for a cloud storage plan I migrated AWAY from 14 months ago. That's
about $140 quietly leaving my account for literally nothing.
I asked five friends to run the same audit. The collective forgotten-
subscriptions tally was over $400/year β and these are technical,
financially-aware people.
So I'm genuinely curious β what's the most "how did I miss this for
that long?" subscription you've ever caught? Bonus points if you can
estimate how long it had been auto-renewing before you noticed.
I'll start: $9.99/mo Γ 14 months = $140 to a cloud storage service
I'd already replaced. Painful.
Drop yours below β I'm using this thread as real-world research for
the v2 of the audit feature. What signals would have helped you catch
yours sooner? 10 views
