Signed up. Added a few accounts. Tried adding a custom app and it wanted me to subscribe for $29 per month. I would happily pay for a service like this but not $300+ per year. As is, there is a free account or one targeted at businesses. What about an upgraded single user tier in the $50 per year range? Also, as others stated, permissions on Github, Dropbox, etc. seem excessive.

Agreed, right now I use a spreadsheet to track subscriptions, it works great. I think an app like this can replace and add value to a simple spreadsheet but $300 more dollars year to track services I already subscribe too is way to much. I would shoot for lower per year cost, around the $20 to $25 mark.

As responded above, we've aimed this at businesses.

Seems like we'd have success also targeting this at consumers, for personal use. Something for us to think about.

Slack permissions seem excessive:

>UNUBO will be able to send messages to any channel or person on your workspace.

>UNUBO will be able to read all messages, files, and profiles that you can access.

>UNUBO will be able to receive all messages and activity that occurs in {company} as well as send messages on your behalf.

Doesn't any/all bookkeeping software handle this already? It's does for my business. My consumer subscriptions OTOH...

Hey, thanks for commenting. Yes, things like xero handle this, but not in the same way. Bookkeeping software track spend, whereas UNUBO provides a snapshot of what your cost is at any time.

You get to see how many users are assigned to what, and at what level of access. It goes beyond just financials.

Within most growing companies, not everybody has access to tools like xero, which is often limited to finance dept.

Again, seems to be a calling for consumer subscriptions. We're taking notes...

Same here, I use a spreadsheet for my budget.

love this concept, could even find myself using it for personal use if it had other popular web subscriptions, ie: netflix, hulu, feedly, spotify, etc

That was what I assumed it was, I was a little disappointed on signing in! Would be great to have for Netflix + Google Music + etc.

I actually created something like this (free) last year - not as nice interface but more targeted at personal subscriptions like Netflix, Gmail etc. https://sublid.com

Not publicizing this since it’s not officially launched (close to finished), but check out an app I’ve been working on. Receiptdefender.com. Add any subscription as a recurring receipt and you now will see how much you’re spending very easily!

P.S. Native apps will be out right after launch :)

Currently the freelancer price is $10 a month. Not set in stone and no credit card needed to sign up. Would love thoughts from here!

Looks good, this was annoying (worrying?) though: https://i.imgur.com/KlSBLYG.png

Permissions have been reduced, and we just went live with a consumer focused plan. Feel free to check it out!
