The usual suspects

Every time we analyze aggregated (anonymized) subscription data, the same services appear on people's "I forgot about that!" list. Here are the top 10, with step-by-step cancellation guidance.

1. Audible

Amazon's audiobook service bills $14.95–$22.95/month. Even if you haven't opened the app in months, credits accumulate — so many people convince themselves they'll "use them eventually."
Cancel: amazon.com → Account → Memberships & Subscriptions → Audible → Cancel Membership. Credits expire 12 months after cancellation.

2. LinkedIn Premium

Often started during a job search, then forgotten. Costs $39.99–$79.99/month.
Cancel: linkedin.com → Me → Settings → Subscriptions → Cancel Premium.

3. Adobe Creative Cloud (individual apps)

Many people cancel the full Creative Cloud suite but leave individual apps (Acrobat, Lightroom) running at $9.99–$19.99/month each. Check your Adobe account for orphaned app subscriptions.
Cancel: account.adobe.com → Plans → Manage Plan → Cancel Plan.

4. Calm or Headspace

Meditation apps have high New Year's Resolution signup rates and equally high abandonment. Annual plans at $69.99/year are easy to miss.
Cancel: Go to the app → Settings → Subscription → Cancel. Or cancel via Apple/Google subscriptions if purchased through the app store.

5. Newspaper digital subscriptions

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post all offer heavily discounted intro rates that balloon after 3–12 months. A $1/week intro can become $25/month.
Cancel: Each paper has a "cancel subscription" page, but many require a phone call. Set aside 15 minutes.

6. Unused cloud storage (Dropbox, iCloud, Google One)

If you migrated to a different storage provider, you may be double-paying. Check each service's storage plan.
Cancel or downgrade: Go to account settings on each platform and select the free tier if your usage allows.

7. VPN services

Annual plans from NordVPN, ExpressVPN, etc. are frequently forgotten. $99/year billed once annually is easy to miss.
Cancel: Log into the VPN provider's website → Billing → Cancel auto-renewal.

8. Gaming services (Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus)

Console subscriptions billed annually that persist even if you no longer own the console.
Cancel: Xbox: account.microsoft.com → Services & Subscriptions. PlayStation: account.playstation.com → Subscription.

9. Niche streaming services

Criterion Channel, Mubi, Discovery+, Paramount+, Peacock — the long tail of streaming adds up. $5–$8/month each, often signed up for one specific show.
Cancel: Each has a subscriptions page. Use Winnowfi to surface all of them at once.

10. Free trials that converted

Any service that offered a "free 30-day trial" 2+ months ago is almost certainly billing you now. Search your email for "trial" and "welcome to" to surface them.
Cancel: Follow the service-specific cancellation flow.

The 30-minute subscription audit

Set a timer. Pull up your credit card and bank statements. Go through each charge for the past 90 days. For anything you can't immediately identify or justify, open a new tab and find the cancellation page. You'll likely save $50–$100 in the next hour.
