Overview
BUB SUB is a free, privacy-first platform for taking control of subscriptions — not another generic expense tracker. See every subscription in one dashboard, understand monthly and yearly spend, know when renewals and free trials expire, and find the correct path to cancel unwanted services. The Dark Pattern Exposer surfaces confusing cancellation flows and points you to the fastest legitimate cancel page or clear instructions — without automating third-party sites on your behalf. A community knowledge base collects verified cancellation URLs, steps, difficulty ratings, and reports, with link safety checks so untrusted submissions never auto-promote. Personal subscription data stays private and separate from public community knowledge. Core experience stays free; optional donations can support development.
