What subscriptions really cost

Subscription prices move constantly and quietly, and almost nobody keeps a record. We do: 5 price indexes, 28 per-service price histories and a running changelog — sourced, dated, and free to reuse with attribution.

How we publish

Every number has a source

Each figure links to the report that documented it. If we can't cite it, we don't publish it.

Limits stated up front

Each study says what it doesn't measure. A list price isn't what people pay, and we say so on the page.

Studies here are built from public reporting. They contain no Submo user data: subscriptions people track in the app, and anything found by connecting Gmail, are used only to show that person their own charges.
