This feels like a nicely shaped AI problem. I have too many SaaS and other subscriptions that I’m not using, but haven’t cancelled. Cancelling these subscriptions is a task that’s not so broad like an all-purpose web agent to be too difficult, and it has specific financial value for the user.

Most annoying to cancel and downgrade so far: AT&T (not SaaS), Webflow (almost as bad as AT&T), DocuSign, Substack, Blueberry Medical, Calendly, Termly, Otter.

Things that I want to cancel but want to keep putting off because I know they’ll be annoying generally fall into one of a few categories:

Normally I have everything in my password manager, but it’s the few that slipped through the cracks and are “sign in with Google” that are particularly hard. I could go and check google security settings and get a list of all accounts that use sign in with google from that account, and I probably should, but I’d need to repeat that across many google accounts for myself and figure it out for any team members too.

The ones I still need to cancel but haven’t because I’m dreading the pain it’ll involve include: Vidyo, Hunter, Podbean, Zapier, Riverside, Convertkit, Super, Kapwing, Streamlabs, Zoom duplicate accounts, Docsend, Canva, D-ID, Microsoft 365, Libsyn, Descript.
