The Subscription Audit Kit — Find, Cut & Negotiate Every Recurring Charge (Excel + Google Sheets)
You think you spend $86/month on subscriptions. The real number is $219. That's not a guess — it's the documented gap between what Americans estimate and what actually leaves their accounts. $1,600 a year, gone to services you forgot you had.
The Subscription Audit Kit is a 6-tab spreadsheet system that finds every recurring charge, forces a verdict on each one, hands you word-for-word scripts to negotiate the bills you keep — and then gives every reclaimed dollar a job before your next paycheck absorbs it.
What's inside
- Start Here — the 5-step, ~90-minute audit process. No fluff, just the drill.
- Audit — log up to 40 subscriptions. Auto-converts weekly/quarterly/annual billing to true monthly cost, counts days since you last used each one (red flags at 90+), and calculates savings the second you pick KEEP / DOWNGRADE / SHARE / CANCEL from the dropdown.
- Dashboard — zero-input scoreboard: monthly + annual reclaimed, spend by category with data bars, how you stack up against the $219 US average, and what your savings become in 10 years invested.
- Negotiate — bill negotiation HQ with 6 word-for-word phone scripts (the opener, the competitor lever, the retention close) and a call log that tracks every dollar you win.
- Calendar — free-trial and renewal tracker with live countdown timers. Anything within 7 days turns red. Nothing auto-renews on you again.
- Redirect — split your reclaimed cash across holiday fund / emergency fund / debt / fun money with adjustable percentages, projected through Dec 31.
How it works
- Pull 3 months of statements from every payment method (bank, cards, PayPal, Apple, Google, Amazon).
- Log each recurring charge — the sheet does all the math.
- Pick a verdict per line; watch the Dashboard total climb.
- Run the scripts on the bills you keep. First-timers typically reclaim $150–$400/month.
- Redirect the savings before they evaporate.
Who it's for
Anyone with a card on file at more than five companies. Households with two adults and a graveyard of free trials. Anyone who saw "PADDLE.NET*BOOSTED" on a statement and just… let it ride.
FAQ
Excel or Google Sheets? Both. Open in Excel, or in Sheets use File → Import → Upload. Every formula works in both. No macros, ever.
Is this a subscription? Ironically, no. One-time purchase, yours forever, re-run it every quarter (the second audit takes ~20 minutes).
Do I need spreadsheet skills? If you can type in a yellow cell and pick from a dropdown, you're qualified. Everything else calculates itself.
How is this different from Rocket Money? No app scanning your bank login, no monthly fee, and it makes YOU do the 90 minutes that produce a permanent fix — plus negotiation scripts no app will read for you.
