I've already signed up and connected a bank & card. It's found many of my paid subscriptions, which I'll be going through and refining. I actually posted a question on Quora looking for this kind of tool a few weeks ago. https://www.quora.com/What-are-t... I've added Truebill to the list. Thanks!
@thinker thanks for the encouragement! A lot of people are looking for this, and even more people don't realize they need it yet. So much time and money is wasted trying (and failing) to keep up with all these paid subscriptions.
I've been using this & it's really great. I recently switched gyms, so I clicked the cancel button on my old gym. They called them & and took care of canceling it for me.
For free.
😀
In addition to a great founding team, it's a super intuitive, easy to use product.
TrueBill immediately found a monthly DropBox subscription I had hooked up to a CC I was not using and had set to auto pay the bill -- so that's $120/yr in savings within 20 minutes of signing up -- thanks guys!!
Most people I've talked to always do this manually (it's something Mint et al never cracked) and it's a huge pain. Keep up the good work!
I'm just a little skeptical of a service like this.... given you guys have funding and are on the "normal startup" path, how do you make money? Do you sell my data? What's going on here?
@randallb Hi Randall. The idea is that in the future we'll be able to recommend services to you - like "hey you might enjoy Spotify". Spotify would then pay us a referral fee if you decide to sign up.
@yahyamokh@randallb I was wondering this same thing and this does help clear it up. This is Mint's model as well so it makes sense.
I don't know what other users would think about this but assuming
* you're saving money for me
* and this makes me happy :)
* you are tracking subscription categories like mobile phone, internet service, etc.
* I cancel a service _and switch to a new similar service_
I'd be open to you asking me why I switched, especially if it's a quick poll via email with optional detailed response.
And if
* enough users are answering why they switched
* you have those analytics
* you see an unusual amount of switching with similar reasons for switching or a surge in users switching to/from similar services
* _I_ use a service that is being "abandoned" :)
* I would be interested to know those trends and where they are going
Or perhaps this is already in the pipeline… :)
The signup needs to accept `.name` domains for email though. :(
[edit]Sorry I don't see a way to contact your tech crew via the site since I can't sign up. So it looks like maybe just the regex for the email address TLD needs to be a bit more relaxed. :)
@my_chiguai@randallb Right, also one other thing we can do, a lot of times when you cancel a subscription the company will make a special offer - i.e. "we'll give you 3 months free if you stay". We can roll out this feature and charge subscription companies to access it (but you'll still be able to cancel with just a click).
Very well done. this is exactly what i wanted from Trim: a rich user interface. not just text via sms. i have to admit i had in mind to build something like that :)
Just tried this out. Love the product!! So easy to use, and it actually did a better job at determining my subscriptions than another services I tried recently.
@asong408 Had the same situation with multiple subscriptions over time but had to find them via my gmail which has 20k unread messages ... haha --- truebill would be a life saver
Great to see this on PH!
Really valuable service that has already saved me money (iTunes bill for extra storage that I didn't need).
Killer team, excited to see how @idris and @yahyamokh continue to develop this product.
Been using Truebill for a couple of weeks. Super useful! Found a few subscriptions I wasn't aware of and was able to cancel those easily. Great work @idris and @yahyamokh!
Had some trouble with this (stuck loading at the "finding subscriptions" screen), but this service looks very interesting. Look forward to trying this out another time.
@mattnagelmv Sorry about that.. depending on your bank, it can take some time for the bank to provide all of the transactions necessary for our algorithm to detect subscriptions. We'll shoot you an email when it's done!
A tool for anyone. If you've got subscriptions with recurring payments, Truebill will help you manage and cancel them. I don't see a reason why people won't love this! Sign up and save money.
