Manual spreadsheet vs automatic detection
TrackMySubs is essentially a web-based spreadsheet for subscriptions. You manually enter each subscription, its cost, and renewal date. If you forgot about a subscription — which is the whole reason you need a tool — it won't show up.
Just Cancel scans your actual bank statement. Upload a CSV or PDF, and AI finds every recurring charge automatically — especially the ones you forgot about.
| Just Cancel | TrackMySubs | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Scans bank statement | Manual entry |
| Finds forgotten subs | Yes — automatically | No — only what you add |
| Price | $5 once | Free / $2/mo pro |
| Cancel links | Yes — 440+ services | No |
| Bank connection | No — file upload | No |
| Time to set up | 2 minutes | 30+ min to enter everything |
TrackMySubs works if you want an ongoing dashboard to monitor subscriptions you already know about — with renewal reminders and spending charts.
But if you're trying to find and cancel subscriptions you forgot about, manually entering them defeats the purpose. You need something that reads your actual transactions.
Use Just Cancel first to discover everything you're being charged for. Cancel what you don't need. Then if you want ongoing tracking, add the keepers to TrackMySubs. Start with discovery, then maintain.
