They Made It Easy to Subscribe. We Make It Easy to Escape.

Why You Need Subscription Watch™
-
Americans spend an average of $219/month on subscriptions — and 54% underestimate that cost by $100 or more.
-
76% of subscription sites use at least one dark pattern to prevent cancellation (FTC/ICPEN, 2024).
-
Companies hide cancel buttons, require phone calls, trap you in loops, and charge you after you've cancelled.
Key Features
-
Trap Mode™
— Scores each subscription on 10 documented dark patterns including hidden cancel buttons, forced phone calls, cancellation loops, and post-cancellation charges.
-

The A–F Cancellation Grading System
Grade A: Cancel in seconds — one click, no friction. Grade F: Predatory — document everything and file an FTC complaint.
Grades D, E, and F are automatically flagged for FTC documentation.
Why We're Different From Truebill or Rocket Money
Subscription Watch™ is a consumer protection and documentation tool — not a subscription manager that charges you monthly fees.
We don't connect to your bank account. We don't sell your data. We charge a single one-time fee of $9.99 — because charging a
subscription to track subscriptions would be hypocritical. Developed by
Voices for Safety
, a consumer protection advocacy group.
FTC Dark Pattern Enforcement
The FTC has taken action against Amazon, Adobe, Planet Fitness, and others for using illegal dark patterns to trap consumers
in subscriptions. Subscription Watch™ helps you identify these tactics and build the documentation needed to file a complaint
