Simplify your subscriptions with Yorba: find and cancel unwanted services
Let’s play a guessing game. How much money do you think you spend monthly on subscriptions?
You know the deal–you sign up for something, add your whole family, throw in a few friends, and then you forget. You go about your life. And you rarely audit your credit card bill.
So what happens then?
The cycle continues. You keep piling on subscriptions you forget about. Or worse–those free trial periods end and you’re stuck with an uptick in bills you didn’t expect and probably won’t even notice. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.
”89% of users underestimate their monthly subscription spend. 66% of survey respondents were off by more than $200” (West Monroe, “The State of Subscription Services Spending,” 2021).
But what can be done about it? First, you can try to audit your subscriptions manually. Log in to your phone, click on subscriptions, and see what you’re paying for. Then make sure you have renewal receipts turned on so you can actually track when a payment goes through. But what about all those subscriptions that aren’t attached to your phone? Or, worse, all the ones you don’t even remember signing up for?
That’s where Yorba comes in
Yorba helps you track and review subscriptions you may have forgotten about, it alerts you when your monthly or annual fees shift, and makes it easy to delete any subscriptions you no longer want.
The Netflix account you threw on PayPal?
That prepaid AT&T bill you forgot about?
The MoviePass subscription you bought to watch Dances With Wolves (yes, for real), but never used again.
The 8 different Amazon Prime accounts from when you accidentally signed up with multiple email addresses (...you caught me).
Unless you scrutinize your credit card statements monthly–and most of us have 4 credit cards on average–it’s going to be really hard to track these paid subscriptions.
But Yorba has a solution that makes finding–and cancelling–unwanted (or old) subscriptions easier.
To check your current subscriptions and track changes in fees, follow the steps below:
Click on “Import stuff”
Click “Find accounts”
Click “Let’s get started”
Click “Connect my financial info”
Click Continue to connect your account with Plaid
Select the account you want to connect
Label your payment methods
Click on an item to delete an account or change the frequency of the payment
Then check back weekly to review your spend, cancel subscriptions you no longer want, and let the savings roll in.
How Yorba does it differently
There are a ton of subscription services out there, but many–like Rocket Money–take a percentage of your savings from the first year if the subscription is successfully canceled. We don’t believe in that kind of convenience tax, so we have a better solution: delete the account, delete the subscription, and save you money. No need to pay a percentage, no need to stress.
How Yorba keeps you safe
By scanning for recurring payments, we can identify subscription fees and paid services. To carry out this search, we use Plaid: the same secure, encrypted authentication service used by popular financial tools like Venmo.
Yorba does not access your actual credit card and bank account numbers–we only store the name(s) of the banking institution(s) you ask us to search, the name(s) of the bank account(s), and what you’re being charged. Learn more about how we protect your data in our FAQ section.
