Smart Rules Engine

Automatic savings intelligence — LemSubs analyses your subscriptions and surfaces actionable recommendations.

The Smart Rules Engine is a built-in intelligence layer that continuously analyses your subscription portfolio. It automatically detects savings opportunities like annual billing arbitrage, expiring trials, price increases, duplicate tools, negotiation openings, and paused subscriptions that should be cancelled — all without any setup.

LemSubs — Subscription Tracker Without Bank Login

LemSubs is a privacy-first subscription tracker. Track every recurring charge, lifetime deal, and renewal in one place — no bank connection, no Plaid, no credentials. Free for individuals.

Built by Deepak Shukla after losing $47,000+ to forgotten renewals and zombie subscriptions across six businesses. Used by founders, freelancers, and small teams who want to know what they're actually paying for without handing a third party read access to their bank accounts.

What LemSubs does

Why no bank connection

Every other tracker on the market — Rocket Money, Mint, Bobby, Trim — asks for your bank credentials through Plaid. LemSubs does not. You add subscriptions manually, forward a receipt, or import a CSV. Your bank stays your bank.
