Subscription and bill review service
The average household pays for subscriptions it forgot, doesn’t use, or actively tried to cancel. US states have been passing auto-renewal laws with teeth, and when a company obstructs cancellation or renews without the required notice, the customer often has a refund remedy spelled out in statute.
This service reviews a customer’s recurring charges, tells them what to cancel and how, and when a company broke the rules, prepares the demand letter.
The job
The customer walks you through their card and bank statements (or just forwards the list of recurring charges). You run each questionable one through a cancel-versus-keep review, and for the ones where the company violated auto-renewal law (no renewal notice, obstruction of cancellation, free-trial conversion without consent), you run the rights check and generate a citation-locked demand letter for refund.
Deliverable: a one-page savings plan (cancel these, downgrade those, here’s the annual number) plus any demand letters, ready to send.
Who it suits
A good first business. Low stakes, immediate visible results, and every adult you know is a potential customer.
Startup cost and tools
| What | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Engine calls per client | ~$0.50–$2.60 | A few subscription reviews ($0.08 each), a rights check ($0.10), and a demand letter ($2.00) when warranted |
| Payment + intake page | $0–$45/mo | Standard stack |
Engine prices are the live public catalog prices, the same sheet agents pay. No subscription is required to use them.
The licensing question
No license applies to reviewing bills and preparing letters the customer sends. Flat fee, not a percentage of savings. Don’t log into anyone’s accounts; they share statements, you review.
How the engine does the heavy lifting
The engine does the cancel-or-keep math per service, checks the state auto-renewal statute against what happened, and drafts demand letters citing the exact violated duties.

- Do your own household first and write down the annual savings number. That number is your ad.
- Charge flat: one household review, one price. Resist percentage-of-savings pricing even though customers suggest it; it changes your legal posture and your incentives.
- Offer three friends-and-family reviews for testimonials.
- Post the plain math (average subscriptions per household, average forgotten spend) one place where your local community talks money.
