The quietest way to spend more
A price increase on a subscription almost never feels like a decision. The email is easy to miss, the new amount is only a dollar or two more, and it bills automatically. Multiply that by every service you pay for, across several years, and the “small” increases become real money.
Enter today's price and the increase you expect, and this shows two things: what you'll be paying in a few years, and the extra you'll have handed over purely because the price crept up.
How this fits into your recurring money
Price creep is recurring cost compounding against you. The danger isn't any single increase — it's that nobody is tracking the trend across all of your subscriptions at once.
That tracking is the core of what Recurrings does: it remembers what every recurring charge used to cost, notices when one changes, and warns you before the higher amount is taken — turning a silent increase into a decision you actually get to make.
The math
price in year N = price × (1 + increase)^N extra from hikes = total with increase − total if price stayed flat
The future price grows the current one by your expected increase, once per year. The “extra” figure totals every payment over the period both ways — with the increase and without — and shows the difference, which is the pure cost of the creep.
Common questions
How much do subscriptions usually go up?
A few percent a year is common, with occasional bigger jumps when a plan is “restructured.” The increases are small enough to ignore one at a time, which is exactly why they add up unnoticed.
What does the “extra from increases” figure show?
It compares what you'll pay with the increase against what you'd pay if the price stayed flat. That gap is the pure cost of the creep — money you spend simply because the price went up.
What can I do about price increases?
Note the renewal date and reassess at each one, ask about retention offers, or switch to an annual plan to lock a rate. The first step is just seeing the increase coming instead of finding it on a statement.
