Search for recurring amounts
Highlight every charge that appears at the same dollar amount each month. Patterns: $9.99, $14.99, $19.99, $49.99. Annual charges show up once — look back 13 months to catch them.
Check app store subscriptions
iPhone: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions. Android: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions. These are managed separately and often forgotten.
Search email for billing receipts
Search Gmail or Outlook for 'receipt', 'subscription', 'renewal', 'billing', 'your plan'. Filter by the last 12 months. This catches services billed via PayPal or gift cards.
Check PayPal and Venmo recurring payments
Log into PayPal → Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments. Venmo: Settings → Payment methods. Many users have 2–5 forgotten subscriptions here.
