PayPing

What inspired me to build this?

Honestly? Pure frustration.

I kept opening my bank app and seeing random charges like “$9.99” or “$14.99” and just sitting there like… what is THIS? Half the time I couldn’t even remember what I subscribed to. A free trial would quietly flip into a paid plan, or some app I used once would keep charging me every month.

I had subscriptions everywhere, streaming stuff, random software tools, apps I forgot existed. And the worst part was that I knew I was wasting money, I just didn’t know where or how much.

At first, it was just about tracking subscriptions. But then I realized something bigger.

Nobody actually has the time or energy to manually go to a website and add every single subscription they have. That’s not how real people behave. After a long day, the last thing you want to do is hunt down receipts and type stuff into a dashboard.

So the real problem became two things:

* subscriptions are invisible and easy to forget
* managing them manually is friction-heavy and unrealistic

Existing tools didn’t help much. Some charge you every month just to tell you you’re overspending (which is kinda ironic). Others try to do everything, bill negotiation, credit scores, random finance features nobody asked for.

I just wanted something that:

- tracks subscriptions automatically or with minimal effort
- reminds you before you get charged
* shows clearly where your money is going
* doesn’t itself become another subscription you forget about

So, I started super simple, just a dashboard where you could manually add subscriptions. But pretty quickly I realized: this still puts too much work on the user.

That’s when I focused on reducing friction as much as possible.

Instead of expecting people to manually log everything, I added two core solutions:

* a Chrome extension that detects subscriptions when you sign up or pay (you just confirm the details and press Add)
* receipt forwarding, where you just forward your emails and subscriptions get added automatically (still in beta)

No extra effort, no forms, no “I’ll do it later.” It just happens.

Now came the the biggest shift: PRICING.
I looked at competitors charging monthly forever and thought, why should you pay monthly just to track monthly payments?

You can track 3 subscriptions forever for free. No credit card. If you want unlimited, it’s a one-time $29. Pay once, done. No recurring fees. Ever.

I also made a conscious decision to keep it focused. No upsells, no random finance junk. Just something clutter free that genuinely helps.

If you wanna try it, it’s free at payping.space. Track 3 subscriptions forever, no card required. And if you need more, the lifetime deal costs less than what most apps charge you in a few months.

Built out of pure annoyance… but honestly, that’s how the best tools start.
