Plans and pricing

There is no limit on how many subscriptions you track, and all three delivery channels — LINE, email and desktop notifications — are on the free tier. Paying buys when you are reminded: every day through the final three days, right up to the charge itself.

If you have not used it yet, just start on the free tier. It never expires and it does not cap you — come back to this page if you decide the reminders are not close enough together.

You pay once. There is no subscription to forget to cancel. There is no second charge and no cancel button you have to find — a tool that sells “don’t get charged for something you forgot” should not itself be one of those things. 30-day refund, no reason required.

All prices are in New Taiwan Dollars (NT$/TWD). NT$390 is roughly US$12. Payments are processed by ECPay, a Taiwanese payment provider; international cards are accepted. We never see or store your card details.

Paid · One-time

NT$390 once

Pay once and never pay again. No expiry date, and nothing you need to remember to cancel.

  • A reminder every day for the last three days, through the charge day itself — many services can still be cancelled that morning
  • Choose your own reminder days (7, 3, 2, 1 and 0 by default)
  • Price-change alerts when a service you track changes its price
  • Shared list — invite up to 5 people to the same list

The last two cover subscriptions you record on the web or via LINE. The Chrome extension keeps its reminders on your own machine and never uploads them, so they are outside that scope.

Buy for NT$390 (zh-Hant)

Not sure? Then don’t pay yet.

1. Start on the free tier. No credit card, no expiry, no cap on how much you track. Plenty of people stop here — that’s fine.

2. Buy it if the reminders are not close enough. Free gives you 3 days and 1 day before. If you find you need one more nudge on the morning of the charge, that is what the NT$390 buys. By then you know whether you use it, instead of guessing before you have tried it.

If you get it wrong: full refund within 30 days, no reason required.

Checkout and the signed-in app are in Traditional Chinese. The payment page itself is operated by ECPay and supports international cards.

Is it worth it?

Plainly: if you only have three or four subscriptions and you have never forgotten to cancel one, the free tier is enough — do not pay for this.

Paying makes sense in one case: you really do forget. Here is the arithmetic.

Forgotten subscription One charge NT$390 once equals
Netflix Standard (Taiwan, charged monthly) NT$380 forgetting 1.0 times
A plan billed once a year (design, cloud, courses) NT$1,200+ forgetting 0.3 times
A trial that converts to an annual licence NT$3,000+ forgetting 0.1 times

Forget one Netflix charge and it has roughly paid for itself. Never forget, and it is money wasted. We cannot tell you which one you are — so start on the free tier and decide once you know whether the reminders come close enough together. The free tier has no expiry.

Once you have bought it, we will not charge you again. If we change the price later it does not reach people who already bought — there is no recurring charge to adjust, and no expiry date to renew.

What paying adds

It keeps reminding you until you act

Free: 3 days and 1 day before. Paid: every day for the last three days.

Paid warns you 7 days ahead, then at 3, 2, 1 days and on the morning of the charge itself. Plenty of services can still be cancelled on the day — that is the last chance.

It stops when you deal with it. Delete the entry, or tap “I already cancelled” in LINE, and the remaining reminders disappear with it. This is help remembering, not nagging.

You can set your own days too. The free tier is fixed at 3 and 1; paid takes any combination you want.

Share one list with your family

Invite up to 5 people to the same list of subscriptions.

Who actually pays for the household Netflix, and when does it charge? Recording that three times over still leaves someone remembering it wrong. Invitations can be view-only or editable, you can remove anyone at any time, and they can leave on their own.

Members switch their own reminders on, through their own push settings. Off by default — adding someone to a list does not start messaging them; whether they get reminders is theirs to decide.

Price-change alerts

When a service you track raises its price, we tell you — with the official page.

Price rises usually arrive in an email nobody reads, and then the bill is bigger. We check the official pricing pages on a schedule and tell you when they move, so you get to decide again whether to keep it.

See which services we are watching. The record is public, because this feature is only worth anything if you can see we really do check.

The other 5 things are identical, free or paid
  • LINE push: arrives even with the computer off, just add the bot as a friend
  • Email reminders: once you sign in with an email address
  • Desktop notifications: the Chrome extension, no sign-in needed
  • Google Calendar links
  • Data export (CSV / JSON)
Do I need an account?

It depends which way you use it. The Chrome extension needs no account at all — the data lives only on your own computer. The LINE bot works as soon as you add it as a friend, also with no signup. Only email reminders, syncing across devices and the paid features need an account; an email address and a password is all it takes, and you can turn on two-factor authentication (an authenticator app, or a code by email).

How you pay

Card payment online, handled by ECPay. Our servers never see or store your card number — all of it stays with ECPay.

Cancelling and refunds

How to buy

Either way works. It is the same account, and paying once covers both.

After paying, My subscriptions will already show you as paid; in the extension, pressing “Re-check licence” updates it straight away. Anything wrong, write to alan930604@gmail.com.
