TrialWatch – Find forgotten subscriptions in your billing inbox

Scans receipt emails to surface forgotten trials, duplicate charges, and silent price hikes

Problem
Small business owners and indie developers forget to cancel free trials, miss quiet price increases, or get double-charged until they dig through billing emails. Manually checking every receipt is tedious, and many SaaS tools bury the cancel button.
Solution
Forward receipts to a dedicated address or grant read-only inbox access; parse subscription name, amount, cycle, and next charge date; flag duplicates or charges after cancellation; send alerts before the next renewal.
Users
Indie developers, small business owners, and freelancers juggling many SaaS tools
MVP
Dedicated forwarding email for receipts; parse common receipt formats for name/amount/cycle; flag suspected duplicates or price hikes; pre-renewal email alerts; manual 'already cancelled' marking
Revenue
Subscription at $5–9/month, tiered by number of tracked subscriptions; free first month
Why now
Subscription overload and frequent price changes make cash flow painful for small teams; ready-made email parsing APIs let a solo dev ship this fast
