Five subscription leaks costing the average household $400/yr

We pulled anonymized recurring-charge data from 50,000 opted-in customers across the US, UK, and EU. The big surprise wasn't the expensive subscriptions, those people notice. It was the small ones that quietly pile up.

The five biggest offenders

• Cloud storage tiers (avg $48/yr unused)
• Free trial that auto-converted ($83/yr median)
• Duplicate streaming with overlapping households ($112/yr)
• Phone insurance bundled with old carrier ($96/yr)
• Donation pledges no one remembered setting up ($64/yr)
