What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Subscription shame = monthly spend + unused services + duplicate services + forgot-it-was-renewing factor
Worked example
A stack with several unused services, duplicate household payments, and recurring annual costs will score much worse than a lean set you would actively choose again today.
Common questions
Does a high score mean cancel everything?
No. It means your current stack deserves review because convenience may be doing more work than value.
What usually pushes the score up?
Unused services, duplicate household subscriptions, forgotten annual renewals, and services you would not sign up to again today all increase the score.
