Subscription Tracking
What you get.
Subscriptions found automatically
Monio looks for the same merchant charging a similar amount on a schedule: weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly, quarterly or yearly.
Price increases pointed out
When a subscription starts charging clearly more than it used to, it gets a "Price went up" label with the change, so it doesn't slip by.
Duplicate subscriptions spotted
If the same service shows up as two subscriptions, for example on two cards, Monio points it out and shows what keeping one would save in a year.
How it works
Three simple steps.
- 01
Connect your bank and cards
Link your accounts through Plaid, in the US or Canada. Monio can see your transactions but can never move money.
- 02
Monio finds your subscriptions
A charge needs to repeat, usually two or three times, before Monio lists it. More history means more is found.
- 03
Track subscriptions in one list
See each subscription with what it costs a month, and decide what is worth keeping.
How to track subscriptions with Monio
Connect the bank and card accounts your subscriptions are billed to. Monio brings in up to 24 months of history, depending on your bank, and finds the charges that repeat. They appear on the Subscriptions page under Spending.
You don't add subscriptions by hand or tag transactions. A charge from the same merchant at a similar amount on a regular schedule, from weekly to yearly, is found on its own.
What the subscription tracker shows
At the top of the page: what your subscriptions cost a month, what that comes to in a year at today's prices, how many you have, and how much has been charged so far this month.
Below that, a Coming up list shows the charges expected in the next 30 days, so a yearly renewal doesn't catch you off guard. Then comes every subscription with its monthly cost. Open one to see when it last charged you, when the next charge is expected, and its recent charges.
Credits and shared plans, shown as charged and paid back
Some subscriptions are partly paid back, by a card's statement credit or by a friend who shares the plan with you. Monio shows both sides instead of hiding one. A subscription might read, for example, "$12.99 charged a month, $10.00 of it paid back".
Each recent charge also says how much of it counts as your spending, and the Coming up list shows what a charge costs after credits. Your spending totals use what you really paid, not the full charge.
When a recurring charge isn't a subscription
Fixed bills like rent, insurance and utilities aren't listed as subscriptions. Monio finds them too, and they set the floor for your budget instead.
If Monio lists something you don't think of as a subscription, open it and choose Not a subscription. It moves to a Not subscriptions list and leaves the subscription total, but it still counts as spending. You can undo it any time.
Tracking subscriptions with a partner
In a household, the page can show household subscriptions from the accounts each person shares. When two of you pay for the same service, Monio points it out and shows what sharing one plan could save in a year. Charges on accounts shared as Totals only count in the total but aren't listed one by one.
