Find duplicate subscriptions in your email receipts
Three people report Muse catching duplicate subscriptions or ones worth cancelling: one says six months of email receipts turned up a forgotten $100-a-month Claude Max plan, a $1,200 yearly saving, and another got a $159.99 refund for a duplicate NBA League Pass. None says how cancellation was approved, so below are the points where it should ask you.
What you can get
What it is
Recurring charges list
A list of recurring charges grouped by service, with overlaps flagged and the amount, card and renewal date for each, for you to decide on.
It came back right when
- Each charge on the list links to the receipt it came from.
- Amounts, cards and renewal dates match the receipts.
- Every flagged overlap says what it overlaps with.
- Anything the search could not confirm is marked unknown.
- No subscription was cancelled or changed without your approval.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Set the rangeStops for your approval
Months to search and cards to include.
- List recurring charges
Service, amount, card and renewal date, each linked to a receipt.
- Flag overlaps
What each overlaps with and why; unknowns marked.
- Decide and cancelStops for your approval
You approve each cancellation; work plans checked first.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You pay for several services and suspect some overlap.
- Receipts arrive by email to one inbox.
- You will decide what to cancel yourself.
Does not work when
- Most of your charges never produce an email receipt.
- You want everything cancelled automatically.
- The charges are on a company account you do not manage.

The source case
On X, @idobn reports having Muse go through six months of email receipts, where it found a $100-a-month Claude Max plan on a corporate card that the author had forgotten about while the company already had an enterprise license. The author puts the saving at $1,200 a year. On Reddit, u/saxy_sax_player says it alerts them to subscriptions they may want to cancel. Neither report says how the charge was cancelled, who approved it, or what else the search turned up. Checked on 2026-09-24, these are individual reports, not evidence of what a search of your receipts will find. @boaz_raz says Muse spotted a duplicate NBA League Pass renewal, asked before cancellation, and reportedly obtained a $159.99 refund; settlement is not independently verified.

From the source
Source excerpt
Had @Muse go through 6 months of my email receipts. It found a $100/mo Claude Max sub on my corp card I'd forgotten about, while we already have an enterprise license. $1,200/year saved.
Comment on the original post
It monitors and manages my inbox, gives me summaries of the newsletters I subscribe to, alerts me to subscriptions I may want to cancel
Source excerpt
Still love my @Muse! It just got me a $159.99 refund for a duplicate NBA League Pass — I pay via Prime Video, but my direct NBA sub auto-renewed anyway.

What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- Time range to search
- Cards the charges might be on
- Plans your employer or household already covers
Connected
- Your email, to read receipts
- Card or bank statements, if you want charges that were never emailed
Approved by you
- Read access to receipts
- Your approval for each cancellation
- No changes to work accounts without the budget holder
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Pick the range to search. The report used six months, which catches monthly charges several times but can miss an annual renewal.
- Have every recurring charge listed with service, plan, amount, card and next renewal date, each linked to its receipt.
- Mark overlaps: two plans for the same service, a personal plan beside a company license, or two tools that do the same job.
- For charges on a work card, check with whoever manages the budget or the license before cancelling anything.
- Cancel what you decide to cancel yourself, or approve each cancellation one at a time.
Set the range and the sources
The report describes six months of email receipts. That range catches every monthly charge several times and some quarterly ones, but an annual renewal can fall outside it, so widen it to a year if you pay for things yearly. Email is also only part of the picture. Some services never send a receipt, some send it to an old address, and app store purchases may be bundled into a single store receipt that hides what was bought. If you want the list to be complete, add your card or bank statements as a second source and ask for every charge to link back to the document it came from. Name the cards to include, since the charge in the report was on a corporate card rather than a personal one.
Decide what counts as a duplicate
The charge in the report was an individual plan on a work card while the company already held an enterprise license for the same product. Other overlaps look different: two streaming plans in one household, a monthly and an annual plan for the same app, extra storage bought on two services, or two tools that do the same job. Ask for each flagged item to say what it overlaps with and why. Then check before cancelling, because a plan that looks redundant may hold data, settings or features the other lacks, and a family or team plan may not cover everyone the individual one does. Anything the search cannot confirm, such as who in a household actually uses a service, should be marked unknown rather than guessed.
Cancel on your own terms
Finding the charge and ending it are separate steps, and the second should stay with you. For personal plans, approve each cancellation one at a time and watch for retention offers, pauses or downgrades presented on the way out, which are decisions of their own. For charges on a work card, the budget holder or whoever manages the license may need to know first, both to confirm the overlap and because cancelling can remove access that someone else relies on. The author of the report puts the saving at $1,200 a year from one plan; your own figure will depend on what the list turns up, and may be nothing. Run the sweep again every few months, since free trials turn into paid plans and old ones renew quietly.
Open Muse to try it. That is the product's own site; this guide is not part of it.
Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- Two individual reports. Neither says how anything was cancelled or what else was found.
- Email receipts miss charges that were never emailed. Card or bank statements may be needed to complete the list.
- A plan that looks like a duplicate may not be one: a personal plan can hold data or features the other lacks. Check before cancelling.
- Nothing here authorizes cancelling, downgrading or changing any subscription, or contacting your employer on your behalf.
- Refund receipt, settlement date and exact merchant-support route are absent.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before searching: set the range and the cards to include.
- Before cancelling: check that each flagged overlap really is a duplicate.
- For work cards: agree it with the budget or license holder first.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- A charge you know about is missing
- It may never have produced an email receipt. Add the card or bank statement, or name the service so it can be searched for directly.
- A flagged overlap turns out not to be one
- Keep it, note why, and ask for it to be left off future lists.
- The cancel page offers a discount or a pause
- Stop there and decide yourself whether to take the offer or finish cancelling.
Common questions
Can Muse find duplicate subscriptions?
One user reports that it went through six months of email receipts and found a $100-a-month plan on a corporate card that duplicated an enterprise license the company already had. This directory has not reproduced it.
Does it need access to my bank?
Not for receipts in email. Adding card or bank statements makes the list more complete, since some services never send receipts.
Will it cancel them for me?
Not here. It lists and flags; you approve each cancellation or do it yourself.
How much will I save?
Unknown. The author of the report puts the figure at $1,200 a year for one plan. Your result depends on what you pay for.
What about plans on a work card?
Check with whoever manages the budget or the license first. Cancelling may remove access someone else needs.
