Find and cancel subscriptions you forgot about
Five people on X report using Muse to cancel subscriptions you forgot you were paying for: @alliekmiller says a friend saved about $1,300 a year in 22 minutes, and others cite roughly $150 and $180 a month. None confirms the savings held up on a later statement, so check yours after each cancellation.
What you can get
What it is
Subscription list with confirmed cancellations
A list of your active subscriptions, including ones you'd lost track of, with the ones you confirm you don't want actually canceled.
It came back right when
- The subscription list includes price, billing cycle and which card or account each is on.
- Only confirmed, unwanted subscriptions were canceled.
- A later statement shows the canceled charges actually gone.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Connect the inbox
Gmail or wherever subscription emails land.
- List all subscriptions found
Price, billing cycle, card or account for each.
- Confirm which to cancelStops for your approval
Review before anything is canceled.
- Cancel and confirmStops for your approval
Including a present sign-in step if needed; check next statement.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You suspect you're paying for something you forgot about, especially on an older or less-checked card.
- You want a list to review rather than an automatic cancel-everything pass.
- You're willing to be present briefly for a service that needs a browser sign-in step.
Does not work when
- You want every charge canceled without reviewing the list first.
- You're not comfortable connecting an email account for the review.
- You need bank-level access to catch a charge that doesn't appear in email confirmations.

The source case
On X, @alliekmiller reports walking a non-technical friend through connecting Muse to Gmail to review all her subscriptions; it flagged several she didn't know she was paying for, many tied to an old Delta credit card on autopay, and she canceled Paramount+, Clear, Spotify Audiobook and a skin cream subscription among others, saving about $1,300 a year in 22 minutes start to finish. Four other X users describe similar results: @amyneurons lists canceling about $150 a month in subscriptions without granting bank account access; @burnzzz0 says it found about $60 in subscriptions to cancel; @dpfebo says it singled out a forgotten $5/month Poke subscription; and @zamir_akimbekov says it saved $180 a month by canceling inactive Substack subscriptions through a browser session opened inside the chat, with the author watching, able to stop it, and entering a sign-in code themselves since Substack has no direct connector. These are attributed reports of different accounts and different subscription lists; none states a verification period or confirms the savings held up on a later statement. @truebound says that after being asked to save money, Muse canceled a $40/month Kimi subscription; this does not show how it found or canceled it. @DannyBlvck says Muse saved him $1000 on subscriptions he does not use; the text does not say what was found or cancelled, so this is a savings claim only. @GrowthGauntlet says Muse audited his subscriptions and found $5,100 a year, including overlapping AI tools, and that he told it to cancel them; this does not show the cancellations went through.

Source excerpt
@Muse just saved me $180/month from @Substack inactive subscriptions. Substack has no connector. Muse opened browser inside the chat, let me watch the process, allowed me to stop it and enter the sign-in code, and finished the job.

Bring The account or inbox to review for subscriptions, Your confirmation of which found subscriptions to actually cancel. Acts Reads subscription confirmations and charges from the account you connect. Cancels only the subscriptions you confirm, not everything found.

What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- The account or inbox to review for subscriptions
- Your confirmation of which found subscriptions to actually cancel
Connected
- Read access to email or the account where subscriptions are confirmed
- A browser session for services with no direct connector, with you able to watch and stop it
Approved by you
- Your confirmation before each cancellation
- No requirement to grant bank account access for this task
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Connect the account where your subscription confirmations and receipts would land, such as Gmail, or point it at a specific statement if you have one.
- Ask for a full list of recurring charges found, each with its price, billing cycle and which card or account it's on, rather than a cancel-everything instruction.
- Review the list yourself and confirm which ones to cancel; a subscription you forgot about isn't automatically one you want gone.
- For a service with no direct connector, decide whether you're comfortable with a browser session you can watch and stop, including entering a sign-in code yourself if one is required.
- Check a later statement to confirm the canceled charges actually stopped.
Point it at where the proof actually is
Subscription confirmations and renewal notices mostly live in email, which is why the primary report behind this page starts with connecting Gmail and asking for a review of all subscriptions found there. That single step uncovered charges tied to an old Delta credit card on autopay that the account holder had lost track of entirely, which is a common pattern: a subscription on a card you don't check often is easy to forget precisely because the statement itself doesn't get a regular look. Give it access to whichever inbox your subscription emails land in, and if you have an old or secondary card, mention it specifically so charges tied to it aren't missed.
Review the full list before canceling anything
The five reports behind this page range from a single forgotten $5-a-month subscription to roughly $1,300 a year across several services, which says more about how varied people's subscription habits are than about what you'll find. Ask for the full list first, with price, billing cycle and which card or account each is on, and go through it yourself rather than approving a blanket cancellation. One report specifically notes doing this without granting bank account access, relying on email confirmations instead; if your setup asks for more access than that, decide whether you're comfortable with it as its own choice, separate from the review itself, rather than assuming broader access is required just because one report mentions it wasn't.
Stay present for the services that need it
Not every subscription can be canceled through a connector. One report describes Substack specifically as having no connector, which meant a browser session opened inside the chat, with the author watching the process, able to stop it, and entering a sign-in code themselves when asked. That's a reasonable model for any service without direct access: expect to be present for a short window rather than a fully unattended cancellation, and treat a confirmation message as a prompt to check your next statement, not as proof the charge is actually gone, since none of the five reports describes making that follow-up check, even the ones with the largest savings claimed.

Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- Several attributed reports, describing different people's own subscription lists and totals ranging from about $5 to $1,300 a year; none of these figures says what you specifically are paying for forgotten subscriptions.
- One report describes canceling via a browser session for a service with no connector (Substack), including entering a sign-in code; this means being present for that part rather than a fully hands-off process.
- One report specifically notes doing this without granting bank account access; if a different setup asks for bank access, that's a separate decision worth weighing on its own.
- None of the five reports describes checking a later statement to confirm a cancellation actually took effect; do that yourself rather than assuming a 'canceled' message is the end of it.
- A subscription tied to an old or unused card, as in the primary report, can be easy to miss specifically because the card itself isn't checked often; a full review benefits from checking older accounts and cards, not just current ones.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before the review: decide what account or inbox gets connected.
- After the list comes back: confirm which subscriptions are actually unwanted.
- During any browser-session cancellation: be present for sign-in steps.
- After canceling: check a later statement to confirm the charge actually stopped.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- A flagged subscription isn't actually unwanted
- Don't cancel it; the point of the list is to confirm each one, not to clear everything found.
- A service has no direct connector
- Expect a browser session you can watch and stop, as in one report for Substack, including entering a sign-in code yourself if needed.
- A canceled charge still shows up on the next statement
- Follow up with that service directly; a cancellation confirmation and the charge actually stopping are two different things to check.
Common questions
Can Muse find subscriptions I forgot about?
Several attributed reports describe this working, with results ranging from a single $5/month subscription found to about $1,300 a year across several services, depending on the person's own accounts.
Do I need to give it bank account access?
One report specifically describes canceling about $150 a month in subscriptions without granting bank account access, relying on email confirmations instead.
Will it cancel everything it finds automatically?
Review the list first. The reports describe flagging subscriptions for the person to review, not an automatic cancel-everything pass.
What about a service with no connector, like Substack?
One report describes a browser session opened inside the chat for exactly that case, with the person able to watch, stop it, and enter a sign-in code themselves.
How do I know a cancellation actually worked?
Check your next statement. None of the five reports describes confirming the charge actually stopped afterward, so that follow-up is worth doing yourself.
