I personally have way too many horror stories of leaving subscriptions unchecked - Love this idea and very excited to use! Congrats guys!!

@shilpa_apte1 we all have a horror story - you’re not alone! What’s your most cringeworthy unwanted subscription bill story? I’ll start. I paid for 6 months of MTV after trialing to watch a single episode!

@shilpa_apte1 @jordan_mackler1 this is too real -- I did an Audible free trial because I heard Matthew McConaughey narrated his own audiobook, ended up paying for 18 months (didn't even finish the McConaughey book)

@shilpa_apte1 @jordan_mackler1 Stamps.com is mine. I didn't want to go to the post office and just needed to print 1 stamp! Instead, I got charged close to $50 over the next three months. I had to call to cancel as well 🤯

@shilpa_apte1 @jordan_mackler1 @veer_gangwal this made me realize I’m still paying for Hulu because I wanted to watch The Bear..

@jordan_mackler1 I paid for two different ClassPass subscriptions for nearly 2 years. I mistakenly created two accounts, one with my personal email and one with my work email. I left the company I created the account with and continued paying for the subscription on that account for nearly 2 years. Had to get my stray account unlocked before I could cancel. Cringe, ack!

Hey, PH! 👋 I’m Jordan, co-Founder and CEO of ScribeUp. We’ve spent the last two years building ScribeUp -- an automated subscription wallet -- and we’re so excited to finally show you! We are a few friends from M.I.T. that bonded over feeling powerless with our subscriptions. Whether it was unknowingly paying for a service that we weren’t using, forgetting to cancel a free trial, or having zero visibility into our 20+ services, bills and renewal dates...each of us were frustrated managing and affording all of the services that empower our modern lives. We knew today's subscription tools didn't solve the issue of powerlessness, and thought: "What if we could build something that helped us WIN at subscriptions (prevent unwanted bills, gain control and earn savings), rather than simply alerting us when we LOSE (get hit with an unwanted bill)." We did just that by creating ScribeUp: a completely FREE Chrome Extension that enables users to harness complete control and earn monthly savings on their digital subscriptions. With ScribeUp, we ensure your subscription experience is hassle-free – meaning no possibility of unwanted free trial bills nor individual tracking of all your subscription services. What does the experience look like? First, ScribeUp helps you identify the subscriptions that you're currently paying for. Then, we help cancel anything you're not using and add the services you'd like to keep to ScribeUp. From there, we ensure you WIN at subscriptions with our powerful features, offering total control and monthly savings. A Quick Rundown on what you can do with ScribeUp: 🕹️Control all of your subscriptions with one click: See all of your subscriptions and free trials, including fees and renewal dates, in one simple dashboard and control them with just one click. ⛔Find & cancel unwanted subscriptions: Find subscriptions you’re currently paying for that you may not realize you are paying for and cancel them with a click of a button. 💪Try free trials with no risk: Try services that offer a free trial without the possibility of an unwanted bill. Sign up without your personal credit card and we'll make sure you're not charged even if you forget to cancel! 💸Save on subscriptions with ScribeUp Rewards: Shop online as you normally do and leverage untapped shopping rewards from participating merchants (average of ~$12/month per user -- that's free Netflix!) 🔔Get notified before you’re charged: Get timely alerts before your free trial expires or your subscription renews, so you get to decide whether you want to keep or cancel. At the end of the day, we are consumers too and wanted to create a tool that offered a winning formula for handling the subscriptions we all know, love and use to empower our daily lives. If you're a US Resident, download ScribeUp and let us know what you think!

@jordan_mackler1 How much does it cost to use this tool?

@jordan_mackler1 congrats on the launch! I’m excited to finally be able to manage all my subscriptions!

@jordan_mackler1 @nok_moe Hi Nok! Thanks for your question and we love this one because the answer is that we are COMPLETELY FREE. We don’t have a paywall, subscription on top of subscriptions (a la Truebill), ads, or data sharing. We are a company created by users for users. You have to link a funding source so you can pay for subscriptions or trials you want to add too your ScribeUp Card. When you pair your bank account, it is our job to protect it, even if you forget about trials or subscriptions -- our algorithm will block any payments other than the ones you expressly indicate to "keep."

@jordan_mackler1 Looks amazing! Congrats on the launch!

Maja Mazur
Love this! Definitely need it in my life. Do you also offer a mobile version?
Joshua Cohen
Maker
@majamazur Hi Maja, thanks for the question! We don't yet offer a mobile version, however it's something we plan to build out in the near future! We chose to focus on building a Chrome Extension and web application to start because it enables us to meet users at the point of sale (e.g. when they check out on a website), which is the time when our value-add is most relevant for them.
Maja Mazur
@joshuacohen4 Makes sense! (it's also a much quicker route) The reason why I thought to ask if because I'd guess 80% of my stupid subscription decisions (aka the ones you'd stop me from making or help me control the free trial for) are made through my mobile when I'm in that "scroll and see" mode. Just something useful for you guys, although I guess you know that already! An awesome product though.
Joshua Cohen
Maker
@majamazur That's really helpful to hear. We'll be sure to keep you posted as we build out mobile capabilities!
Erica Chiang

@joshuacohen4 @majamazur wow, blown away by your thoughtfulness! I can't wait for you to try this out and see it for yourself!

Ryan Gaertner
What's a virtual card?
Joshua Cohen
Maker
@ryan_gaertner Thanks for the question! A virtual credit card is a digital-only payment form that can be utilized for most online purchases. Virtual cards add a layer of protection between your funding source and the merchant. Virtual cards have their own unique card number, expiration date, and CVC -- keeping your personal credit card protected from fraud. Secured by encryption, virtual payments offer a safe and convenient way to pay online. Plus, you can access your ScribeUp Virtual Card from our Chrome Extension, so it's always one click away! Let me know if this answers your question. I'm happy to provide more context if that's helpful.

@joshuacohen4 @ryan_gaertner thanks for the question! Let us know if you try ScribeUp! We are always open to feedback!!

I currently use apple reminders to cancel any trial subscriptions. Totally required

@abhishek1846 Funny enough - we were all using a similar combination of apple reminders, self-calendar invites, and notes documents to keep track. Way too much to handle! We hope this makes it easier for you!

@yoheioka @veer_gangwal Thanks for trying ScribeUp, Veer! Absolutely not! Using ScribeUp will not affect your credit score – in fact, we hope to build features in the future that will allow us to help increase your credit score as you pay for subscriptions!
