How to keep track of all your subscriptions

Short answer

Make one list: what you pay for, who bills you, how much, and when it renews. Most of it is already in four places — your card statements, Apple Subscriptions, Google Play subscriptions and your Amazon account. Then decide what to keep, downgrade, pause or cancel, and look at the list once a month.

Step 1: find every subscription

• Card and bank statements: go back at least 12 months so yearly renewals show up.
• Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions lists everything billed through your Apple Account.
• Google Play: play.google.com → Subscriptions lists everything billed through Google.
• Amazon: your Memberships and Subscriptions page — Amazon points there for subscriptions such as Prime Video channels.
• Email: search for “receipt”, “renewal” and “subscription” — Apple suggests searching for “receipt from Apple” when you can’t find one.

Step 2: write down who bills each one

The biller decides where you cancel. A service paid through Apple, Google, Amazon, Roku or your carrier can’t be canceled with the provider directly — Peacock and Paramount+ both say you have to go back to that platform. Peacock shows how you’re billed under Payment Method on its Subscriptions tab.

Step 3: note renewal dates and terms

Write the next billing date and whether it’s monthly or yearly. Google reminds you that subscriptions run for an indefinite term until you unsubscribe. Some dates can’t be moved — Paramount+ says billing dates can’t be changed. For trials, note the end date: YouTube reminds you 7 days before, and Strava and Duolingo send reminders too, but most don’t.

Step 4: decide what stays

For each line, pick one:

• Keep — you use it every week.
• Downgrade — a plan with ads or a smaller plan is enough.
• Share — a family plan would cover it for less.
• Cancel or rotate — you’ll come back later; most streaming services can be restarted any time.

Step 5: review once a month

Ten minutes a month is enough: check new charges against the list, look at renewals coming up in the next 30 days, and update anything that changed. Our subscription calculator adds up what you pay per month and per year.

What this guide doesn’t promise

We can’t see your accounts or cancel anything for you — this is a method, not a service. The provider pages mentioned were checked from the US on October 12–13, 2026; menus change, so follow the provider’s own help page if a step looks different.
