Sample data. This is the unedited report Renewal Watch produced on its bundled sample files, which describe a fictional business, run the same way a subscriber's upload is run (as of 2026-10-14). No AI model and no person touched it. Your own results depend on the exports you upload.

The latest charge is higher than the usual price before it. Together these add $42.00 a year.

Subscriptions not on your contract list

These charge you regularly but are not on your contract list, so nobody is watching their renewal dates. Add the ones you keep; cancel the ones you don't use. Total: $2,702.04 a year.

How we worked out some dates and costs

  • Hiscox general liability: auto-renew not stated, assumed it auto-renews.
  • Slack: renewal date worked out from start date 2025-03-01 + 12-month term.
  • QuickBooks Online: listed date 2026-05-01 has passed, assumed it renewed for 12 months; no notice period given, used the renewal date as the cancel-by date.

Statements run to Sep 29, 2026. A subscription counts as current if it charged within 45 days (monthly) or 400 days (yearly) of that date. Duplicate rows (the same line in two overlapping exports) are counted once.

  • contracts/vendor_contracts.csv: 1 row skipped - renewal date not readable.
  • contracts/vendor_contracts.csv skipped rows: line 12: Dropbox Business - 'TBD'.
  • contracts/vendor_contracts.csv: header found on line 3; lines above it were ignored.
  • statements/bofa_checking_2026.csv: 1 row skipped - no amount.
  • statements/bofa_checking_2026.csv: 12 transfer, card payment or payroll lines left out of the subscription search.
  • statements/bofa_checking_2026.csv: header found on line 7; lines above it were ignored.

Limits

Cancel-by date = renewal date minus the notice period; check each contract for exact notice terms and how notice must be given. Blank auto-renew is treated as auto-renewing. A subscription needs 3 or more charges about a month (or a year) apart, of similar size, still charging near the end of your statements. Matching statement names to your contract list is by name and can miss or mismatch a vendor that bills under a different name.
