Build a subscription review before canceling anything
Find recurring charges and create a decision list with renewal dates and consequences.
What you’ll produce
An inventory of possible subscriptions with evidence, renewal details, and an owner decision column.
Inputs & connections
- Redacted recent statements or approved billing exports
- Known subscriptions and services you want to keep
Begin with approved exports or pasted source material. Live access requires separately configured integrations and permissions; this guide does not install them.
Your starting prompt
Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.
Review [billing exports] for possible subscriptions. Group repeated merchants, preserve source rows, and distinguish confirmed recurring charges from guesses. List amount, frequency, latest charge, known renewal date, and what needs checking. Create keep, investigate, and possible-cancel columns without making the decision for me. Do not log in, send cancellation requests, or change services without separate approval.
How to run it
- 01
Use a small set of redacted statements and retain unchanged originals.
- 02
Match recurring merchant patterns to actual service accounts.
- 03
Check renewal, cancellation, refund, and business-dependency details.
- 04
Decide service by service and verify any later cancellation confirmation.
Review before you act
Confirm the service owner, renewal terms, shared users, and whether cancellation removes data or access.
Limitations & success checks
- Merchant names do not always identify the service correctly.
- A recurring charge can be necessary or shared; low usage is not proof it should be canceled.
Measure: Subscriptions correctly identified, uncertain charges resolved, and confirmed decisions.
