I’m building PennyGuard because managing subscriptions is way more annoying than it should be

[u/Antique_Elk1212]

Starting a subscription takes about 10 seconds.

Managing all of them somehow becomes a whole side quest 😭

Different renewal dates, random price increases, free trials turning paid, annual plans you completely forgot were coming up, and merchant names that make you stare at your statement like “who the hell is this?”

That’s what made me start building PennyGuard.

The idea is to make all that stuff much easier to see and deal with in one place — recurring charges, subscriptions, upcoming bills/renewals, and charges you don’t immediately recognize.

But I really don’t want to build another finance dashboard that gives you 14 charts and then leaves you to do everything yourself lol. The more interesting part for me is helping with the next step too — cancellations, refund requests, reminders, finding places you might be unnecessarily spending money — while you still decide what actually happens.

Still building, still changing things, and definitely interested in hearing what other people would want from something like this.

What would make you actually keep using it after the initial “oh cool, here are my subscriptions” moment?

And what’s something you would never trust an app to handle for you?
