Example
Scenario: You have 10 subscriptions, share Netflix with roommates, just started a Paramount+ trial, and suspect your internet went up in price.
What you do: Add all 10 in Sweep with categories and renewal dates. Mark Netflix as shared in Splits, add roommate names. Add Paramount+ trial with end date. Update internet price — SubSweep detects the increase.
Result: Radar shows 3 renewals this month totaling $87. Price Watch catches the $5/month internet hike and links to Negotiate. Splits calculates roommates owe you $8.33/month each. Trial tracker warns: 'Zero uses of Paramount+ and trial ends in 3 days — cancel now.' Budget view shows you're $12 over your streaming limit.
Tips
- Set renewal dates on annual subs — that's where surprise charges happen
- Update prices when they change — SubSweep tracks the history and alerts you to increases
- Add trials the moment you sign up — tap the usage counter each time you use them
- Set category budgets even if approximate — the visual bar makes overspending obvious
- Run a fresh Sweep analysis each month to take a timeline snapshot
Common pitfalls
- Prices and cancellation steps may vary — always verify on the service's website
- Retention offers change frequently — scripts give the general approach, not guaranteed deals
- Statement scanning works best with copy-pasted text, not screenshots
