LowScout · Open beta · Free

Know exactly what your subscriptions cost.

Connect an account through Plaid or upload a statement — LowScout finds your recurring charges and shows what you're paying monthly and annually, with the evidence behind every number, so you can decide what to cancel or keep.

  • Free during the open beta
  • No card required
  • Read-only access or a file you export — your choice

Two ways in

Connect your account, or upload a statement. Your choice.

Both paths feed the same deterministic analysis, and you can use both — LowScout keeps each account's evidence separate and never mixes them.

Connect an account through Plaid

Read-only transaction access. You sign in at your bank inside Plaid’s flow.

  • LowScout never receives or stores your bank username or password, and can never move money.
  • Transactions sync periodically — not in real time — and the page always shows when it last synced.
  • Disconnect any time; that ends the connection at Plaid and deletes the transactions it imported.

Upload a statement

A PDF or CSV you export from your bank’s website. You choose exactly what to share.

  • Every file is checked for malware before anything reads it, then stored privately with expiring links.
  • Unusual CSV columns? Point out which is which yourself — no guessing on our side.
  • Delete a statement whenever you like; its transactions leave your audit with it.

What it finds

The audit, not a guess.

Everything below is computed by a deterministic engine from your own transactions. Every finding shows exactly why it was raised, and you can confirm, dismiss or correct any of them.

  • Recurring charges

    What actually repeats, how often, and what it costs monthly and annually — exact cents, never an estimate.

  • Price increases

    A charge that quietly went from $10.99 to $11.99 — with the dates and the before/after amounts.

  • Duplicate charges

    The same merchant billing twice inside one period, flagged from the transactions themselves.

  • Overlapping services

    Two active services in the same category, so you can decide whether you want both.

  • Charges that stopped

    A subscription whose billing windows lapsed inside your coverage is marked possibly ended, not silently kept.

  • Honest uncertainty

    A pattern we are not sure about is labelled “Needs your review” and waits for you — it never inflates a total.

The route

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect or upload

    Link an account through Plaid (read-only) or upload a statement you exported yourself. Either way, you choose what LowScout sees.

  2. 02

    Checked, read, analyzed

    Files are malware-checked before anything reads them. Every source is analyzed by the same exact arithmetic — the same data always produces the same result.

  3. 03

    See your true monthly & annual cost

    An exact audit of what your recurring charges add up to, with the account each charge came from and the transactions behind every number.

  4. 04

    Act on it

    Every charge carries a guided cancellation path: reviewed steps, direct links where verified, ready-to-send scripts, and follow-up that checks your later data. You cancel; LowScout guides and verifies.

The guarantee

AI that shows its work — or shows nothing.

Optional AI summaries only ever see derived facts our deterministic engine already computed. Before anything reaches you, every figure in the AI's response is checked against your exact numbers. If even one can't be verified, the response is blocked and replaced with the plain, verified facts.

That rule is enforced by code and covered by an adversarial test suite — it is not a marketing sentence.

  1. Your verified facts

    computed by the engine — exact cents

  2. AI writes a summary

    from those facts only

  3. Every number is checked

    against your own transaction math

Verified → shown
Unverified → blocked

On the roadmap — not live yet

The audit, account-aware detection and guided cancellation are live today. Here's where the route leads.

We don't market what doesn't exist — everything below is planned, in this order, and will say so until the day it ships.

  • Coming soon

    Money Watch

    Alerts when something changes — a new recurring charge, a price rise, a duplicate, a charge that stopped, a renewal coming up — computed from your own data, per account.

  • Coming soon

    Financial Compass

    A monthly bearing — improving, steady, or drifting — computed from your own verified numbers, with the one highest-impact move to make next. Shown only once there is enough history to support it.

  • Coming soon

    Your Monthly Bearing

    A monthly report of what actually changed in your recurring spend — sent only when new data has really been analyzed.

  • Coming soon

    Receipts

    Verified savings: when a charge you ended stops appearing in later data, LowScout proves it — a ledger of real money back, never estimates.

Trust

Your data, handled carefully

You're trusting us with financial information. That deserves specifics, not badges — here is exactly how LowScout behaves.

  • Private by default

    Uploaded files live in private storage, reachable only through short-lived links tied to your account. Sensitive values never appear in our logs.

  • Your bank credentials never touch LowScout

    If you connect an account, you sign in at your bank through Plaid; LowScout never receives or stores your bank username or password, never sees full account numbers or balances, and can never move money. If you upload instead, a file is the entire data relationship.

  • Computed, not estimated

    Every dollar figure is calculated from your own transactions with exact math. Nothing is projected, rounded up for drama, or invented.

  • Every AI figure, verified

    AI summaries are optional and off by default. Every financial figure shown in AI responses is verified against LowScout's deterministic analysis. If a figure cannot be verified, it is not shown. Your data is never used to train AI models.

  • Explicit consent, per capability

    Connecting an account, AI summaries and cancellation tracking each ask for their own permission — nothing is bundled, and withdrawing consent takes effect immediately.

  • You stay in control

    Delete uploaded files or disconnect an account whenever you want. Dismissed charges stay dismissed, and your corrections always outrank our automation.

LowScout is an analysis and guidance tool. It does not guarantee savings, does not know whether you use a subscription, and does not provide financial or legal advice. Some cancellations require steps only you can take. Read the full Trust page, including what is not built yet.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to connect my bank?+

No. You choose: connect a bank or card account through Plaid (read-only transaction access — you sign in at your bank, and LowScout never receives your credentials), or export a statement (PDF or CSV) and upload it. Both feed the same analysis; neither is required over the other.

Will LowScout cancel subscriptions for me?+

No — and we won’t pretend otherwise. LowScout guides you: reviewed step-by-step instructions, direct cancellation links where we’ve verified them, and ready-to-send scripts. You perform the cancellation yourself, and LowScout confirms it only when your later data shows the charge actually stopped.

How do I know the numbers are right?+

Every total and every finding links back to the transactions that produced it — you can check our math against your own statement or account activity, line by line.

What does the AI see?+

Only derived facts our engine already computed (merchant names, amounts, billing cadence) — never your uploaded documents, raw statement text or account details, and only if you explicitly turn AI summaries on.

Is this a budgeting app?+

No. No envelopes, no category guilt, no spreadsheets. LowScout does one job with receipts: find what quietly recurs, show exactly what it costs, and help you decide what stays.
