Free subscription trap checker
Paste statement text → see every likely recurring charge, price hikes, and your real yearly total. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.
How it works (60 seconds)
- Copy the transactions from your bank or card statement (or use the built-in sample).
- Paste into the checker — card numbers and reference codes are stripped locally before analysis.
- Get the list: likely recurring charges with a confidence score, price-hike flags, and a $/year headline.
What it looks for
- ['Charges that repeat at the same merchant for near-identical amounts', 'Price hikes — the same subscription charging more than it used to', 'Typical subscription price points paired with subscription-style merchant names', 'Your total: what those charges add up to per month and per year']
Common questions
Is my statement uploaded anywhere?
No. The page runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, saved, or shared. You can even load the page and then disconnect from the internet before pasting.
Is a flagged charge definitely a subscription?No — it's an automated signal, not proof. A repeated charge can be legitimate. Use the built-in 4-question review, then verify with the merchant before cancelling anything.
Do I need to connect my bank?Never. No bank login, no linking, no account. Copy-paste only — that's the point.
