Saving money on the paid subscriptions you pay for just got much easier with Truebill's mobile app! Truebill automagically scans your statements and detects recurring bills. They watch for price increases, and can even cancel unwanted subscriptions on your behalf. Install the app, then start saving money. It's that simple.

Hi All, Founder of Truebill here - thanks for having a look at what we've built. Since launching Truebill for desktop a few months ago tens of thousands of people have signed up and found ways to save money on paid subscriptions and recurring bills. We're excited to launch our IOS and Android app and would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Could you tell us about your development process going from desktop to mobile? What technologies did you use to launch mobile (e.g. did you go native)?
Maker
Hi there, I'm the CTO at Truebill. The app is actually a React Native app (I love React + React Native!) For now, it's actually a hybrid of React Native + Webviews. Moving forward, we will continuously improve the app and convert more and more of it from Webviews to React Native.
Good to see another Plaid user - gives more credibility to the platform :)
Congrats on launching the mobile app guys! Instant home page application :)

Thanks, Charlie! Couldn't have done it without the fine folks at Plaid!
As Truebill is asking for our bank credentials, how is security handled ?
Maker
we use the Plaid API to get a list of your transactions, which are then scanned by our algorithm. You can read about Plaid's security here:
I love Truebill, it did make me realize I have a slight addiction to subscriptions
Truebill is one of those products that makes you think, "wow, how has this not been how the world works" the first time you try it. I now have a dashboard view of all the recurring payments I make across all my credit cards plus Paypal. It makes a big difference to see everything in one place. (Particularly because I have work stuff, like AWS, on a card that I pay the bill for, personally!) Highly, highly recommended.
Any progress on supporting Canadian banks?
Maker
We actually integrated Yodlee as a 2nd API partner to expand international support. We support several hundred Canadian institutions and both Plaid and Yodlee are constantly adding more.
The reason I ask is that when TrueBill first hit PH I signed up and tried to add my account (with RBC) but my credentials weren't accepted, and having just tried them again I'm seeing the same problem. So even though my bank shows up in the list, it doesn't seem to be working.
Maker
I can try to switch your account over and that may help. I've just sent you a message about it
I am having some problems. I just signed up with facebook, linked my bank, and it lagged and kicked me out. Now wont allow me to log in with facebook!
Maker
That's not good! Try logging in with Facebook on the website. Does that work for you?
I love that this works in the UK (at least on the web), but it would be super nice if it used the user's local currency :)
Interesting. Will dl and check it out. I hope it works with service providers in Dubai. I loved mint but they couldn't work outside the US. What's the revenue model here ?
Maker
Truebill makes revenue on intelligent recommendations. For instance, if we see that you have subscriptions X and Y, we might recommend you try Z.
