Here is a list of my recurring subscriptions and what I pay:

[LIST WITH MONTHLY OR YEARLY COST]

For each one, ask me whether I used it in the last 30 days, rate it as keep, downgrade or cancel, and suggest a cheaper alternative where one exists. Total the monthly and yearly savings and give me a cancellation checklist in the order of biggest saving first.

Set a calendar reminder three days before each annual renewal for anything you keep.

What you will get

Each subscription rated keep, downgrade or cancel, a cheaper alternative where one exists, your total monthly and yearly savings and a cancellation checklist with the biggest saving first.

Common mistake

The AI quotes prices for alternatives that are out of date.

Fix: Treat suggested prices as a starting point and check the provider’s own page before switching. Plans and prices change often.

Also watch for

It rates everything as keep because it cannot know your habits. Answer the “used in the last 30 days” question honestly for each line, and add how often you use it, such as “twice a month”.
The totals do not add up. List monthly and yearly costs in the same currency, and write “check the arithmetic and show each total line by line”.

Try a variation: find overlaps

Add “also point out any services that do the same job, such as two music or two storage plans, and tell me which to keep”. Overlaps are often the easiest savings.

Still not right? Reply with this

Using my answers, give me a table with the service, monthly cost, my use, the decision and the saving. Put the cancellations in order of saving.
