How Auto-Cancel Works

Kudos monitors your subscriptions and can:

  • Cancel subscriptions you no longer use (with your approval)

  • Negotiate lower rates on bills like internet, phone, and insurance

  • Alert you before the free trial charge so you can decide to cancel

  • Track savings from cancelled or reduced subscriptions
