Trust FAQ
Questions people ask before copying a template
How does the Subscription Tracker calculate my total spend?
Enter each subscription's cost and whether it bills monthly or annually, and the template normalizes everything to a true monthly and yearly total automatically — so you finally see the full number in one place.
Can it remind me before a free trial ends?
It highlights upcoming renewal and trial-ending dates with conditional formatting so they stand out when you open the sheet. It isn't a push notification, but a quick weekly glance catches trials before they auto-renew.
Is the Subscription Tracker free?
Yes, completely free to copy and keep in Google Sheets or Excel — no account, paywall, or trial.
