# Subscription audit checklist

An evening's work that usually pays for itself: find every subscription, decide which ones earn their place, cancel the rest and set things up so they stay under control.

## How to run the audit

Work through the four groups in order. **Find** comes first because you cannot judge what you have not spotted: subscriptions bought inside apps, through payment accounts or as yearly plans are the easy ones to miss. **Judge** each one with fresh eyes, **act** on what you decided, then **keep it tidy** so the next audit is quick.

Each tick is saved in this browser as you go, so you can stop halfway and pick up later; the lantern ring shows how far you are. Print the checklist if you would rather work on paper next to your statements.

Pair it with the [subscription cost tracker](https://moonlitwares.shop/): add each subscription as you find it, tick **Cancel?** on the doubtful ones, and the tracker shows the yearly saving. When you are ready to cancel, the [cancellation letter templates](https://moonlitwares.shop/cancellation-letter/) help with companies that make it hard, and the [free-trial reminder](https://moonlitwares.shop/free-trial-reminder/) keeps new trials from slipping into paid plans.

## Questions

**How often should I do this?**

Every six months suits most people, plus a quick check whenever a price-rise email arrives.

**Where are my ticks saved?**

In your browser's local storage on this device, under the name mw-audit. "Untick all" clears them.

**What if I cannot find what a charge is?**

Search your email for the amount or the name on the statement. If it is still a mystery, ask your bank or card issuer what the charge is.
