Many people lose money each month without realizing it. Hidden subscriptions often slip through unnoticed, quietly pulling funds from your account. These charges may seem small, but they add up fast.

Here are seven common types to check.

1. Streaming Services You Forgot About – You may have signed up for a free trial and never canceled. Some platforms renew monthly, even if you do not use them. Check for charges from services like Hulu, Paramount+, or niche streaming apps.
2. Cloud Storage You No Longer Need – Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, and others offer paid plans. If you upgraded for a project or backup and forgot to downgrade, you might be paying $10 or more each month for space you do not use.
3. Fitness Apps and Online Workouts – Many fitness apps auto-renew after a trial. You may have switched routines or stopped using them altogether. Look for charges from apps like Peloton, Fitbod, or yoga platforms.
4. Mobile Game Subscriptions – Games often offer premium tiers or in-app memberships. These can renew quietly, especially if you signed up through your phone. Check your app store subscriptions for hidden charges.
5. Credit Monitoring Services – Some credit tools charge monthly for access to scores or alerts. If you signed up during a loan application or identity scare, you may still be paying. Free tools often offer similar features.
6. Meal Kit or Grocery Delivery Plans – Services like HelloFresh or Instacart may auto-renew even if you skip deliveries. You might be charged a membership fee or minimum order cost. Review your account settings and billing history.
7. Online Learning Platforms – Courses and learning apps like Skillshare or MasterClass often renew yearly. If you finished the course or stopped using the platform, cancel before the next billing cycle.

How to find and cancel them:

• Review your bank and credit card statements line by line.
• Check your email for renewal notices or receipts.
• Visit your phone’s app store and look under subscriptions.
• Use budgeting apps that flag recurring charges.
• Contact your bank to block future charges if needed.

Most people find at least one forgotten subscription. Canceling just two or three can save $30 to $60 each month. That money could go toward groceries, savings, or something you actually use.
