Rocket Money already connects via Plaid, finds every recurring charge, and cancels them for users at scale, and an 'AI subscription' filter is a feature not a product. It's a one-shot $15 consumer purchase that's churn-by-design (the audit ends the relationship) plus a 200-vendor billing-entity database you must maintain forever. This matches the bill splitting and group savings tarpit pattern of building for hyper cost-conscious consumers: people trying to save $10/mo on subscriptions will not pay you $15 to tell them to cancel it, especially when Rocket Money does this for free.

The average knowledge worker is now paying for 2-4 AI tools and doesn't realise it. ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo), GitHub Copilot ($10/mo), Claude Pro ($20/mo), Midjourney ($10/mo), plus the silent AI premium tiers baked into Notion ($10/mo extra), Canva ($13/mo upgrade), Grammarly ($12/mo), and dozens of others, all charging separately. Meanwhile, cost pressure is acute: a college student's $277 grocery haul went viral (11,753 upvotes, 1,296 comments) as a symbol of how every dollar matters. Subscription blindness is real and comical: someone discovered they'd been sending a monthly toy to a dog…
