Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Niclas, the solo indie maker behind Subo. I built this app because subscriptions got messy for me, and I wanted a clear, beautiful, and privacy-first solution to manage them, so I made one myself! Subo helps you track and manage your subscriptions in a simple, stress-free way. I put transparency and user-friendliness first, so there are no subscription traps or hidden charges. Just transparent one-time purchase optional upgrades. I’d love your feedback, questions, or thoughts on how to make Subo even better. I’m always curios to talk about this. Have an idea or requests? Hit me up. Thanks for checking out Subo! 🧡

@niclas42 this looks very nice. Do you have to add each subscription manually, or is there automatic tracking?

Niclas Schmidt

@bballinger Thanks Brandon! Since this is v1.0, you still have to enter the details. I made sure, tho that this is a quick and simple process where you can choose from popular subs. I am currently looking into automation features. but privacy & security have to be right for that! Stay tuned 🫡

@niclas42 Hi Niclas,

I’m Nima, running Bestofweb .site where we highlight thoughtful indie products and their makers. Subo looks like a clean and privacy-conscious way to get control over subscription chaos. Appreciate the transparency and simplicity you’ve built in. We're supporting your launch and would love for you to check out our directory.

Niclas Schmidt

@nimaaksoy Thank you so much for your nice feedback! I'm glad you see the value in that. I'd love to check out your directory!

Users will love you


(and app developers will hate :DDD Just kidding BUT I noticed that many app developers rely on that "trick" when someone forgets to cancel the plan)

Does this app have any monetisation model?

Niclas Schmidt

@busmark_w_nika Haha, I’m willing to take that risk! I’ve fallen for it too many times myself and decided it was time for a change. I’m aiming to reduce subscription anxiety and help people make intentional choices.

Yes, there’s monetization, but transparency is key for me. Subo offers only one-time purchases: a "Forever Pass" (pay once, keep forever) or a 1-year prepaid pass (no auto-renewal).

Nika

@niclas42 are prices customised to regions?

Niclas Schmidt

@busmark_w_nika Yes. I am following apples recommended rates based on Euro.

Marc

@busmark_w_nika  @niclas42 Yes be like that, dont get too attached on monetization at first launch. We hate subscriptions.

The design is super clean and well done! Even if there are similar services out there, standing out with great user experience really makes a difference — and it seems like Subo is doing that really well. Congrats on the launch! 🎉

By the way, can the currency be set differently based on region?

Niclas Schmidt

@kay_arkain Thanks a lot for the nice comment! Totally agree with you. Subscription tracking app is by no means an original idea, but I want to make it right and focus on the community, user testing and clear design. Usability, privacy & delight are key for me.

Yes, absolutely. This was one of the first main insight during testing. In Subo, you can have multi-currencies as well as a default currency where all comes together (inclusive current conversions). Curious to hear your thoughts on this!

Dan Pierce

Congrats on your launch🎉, from early adopter.😉

I'm sure it's been a tough and difficult journey to get to this point, but from reading the numerous emails I've received from you, it seems like you've had a lot of fun. And most importantly, it seems like you listened very intently to your users' feedback. The resulting Subo is easier to use and better designed than other subscription trackers, and best of all, it's great to see new features being developed in the future.

Congratulations again and best of luck in the future.🤞

Niclas Schmidt

@d41 Appreciate it Dan! 🫡 It's been some challenging months, thats for sure. But as you already noticed, it's just what I love doing and so rewarding to hear people enjoying the journey with me. I believe in the power of research & attention to detail. I could not have done this without such an engaged little community. Can't wait where we are heading with this!

💡 Bright idea

Congratulations, @niclas42!

It'll be good if I can add a subcription with an invoice screenshot, or by forwarding the email to Subo app.

I always receive the invoices or receipts with email.

Good luck!

Niclas Schmidt

@pritraveler Thanks! Great point, and something I will look into for sure. Adding more automation is something I am investigating, but it gotta protect the privacy of users.
