Spending context

How you compare to the US average

The average US adult spends $219/month across all subscriptions but estimates roughly $86/month. Here's where you actually sit.

Add at least one box to see your spending context.

Why this happens

Subscriptions accumulate one at a time — nobody audits the total

A beauty box here, a snack box there, a pet box for the dog. Each individual $15-$45 sign-up feels small, but six stacked become a meaningful monthly line item that doesn't get reviewed until a price increase forces it.

The 90-day rule

Sub-0.90 score after 90 days = cancel

The first 90 days inflate perceived value because of novelty. If a box still scores under 0.90 after that, it won't improve. Cancel — or try the retention flow first; many offer a discount or pause that can pull the score above 1.00.

FAQ

How to track subscriptions: FAQ

The questions subscribers ask most when auditing their box spend.

Q01How do I track all my subscriptions?

Start with your last two bank and card statements and write down every charge that repeats. Add each subscription box to the tracker above with its monthly price, shipping, item count, retail value, and how much of it you use. The tracker totals your monthly and yearly spend and ranks every box from best to worst value, so you can see at a glance which ones to keep.

Q02What is a subscription audit and how often should I do one?

A subscription audit is a regular check of everything you pay for on repeat, with a keep-or-cancel decision for each one. Do one every three months, and any time a box raises its price. Add your boxes here, cut anything that scores below 0.90 after 90 days, and use the cancellation savings figure to see what the cuts are worth over a year.

Q03How is the value score calculated?

The value score combines three inputs: monthly price, retail value of the box contents, and the percentage of items you actually use. The formula weighs usable retail value against price — a score of 1.00 means you're getting roughly $1 of usable value for every $1 spent. Above 1.10 is healthy, 0.90-1.10 is fair, and below 0.90 means you're losing money on the box every month.

Q04What counts as 'items you use'?

Be honest — an item only counts if you've actually finished it, worn it more than once, given it a fair chance, or use it on a regular basis. Items that are still in their packaging six weeks after arrival don't count. The biggest mistake people make is rating themselves at 90-100% usage when they're realistically at 50-60% — and that's exactly the gap that turns a 'keep' into a 'cut' when you score honestly.

Q05How many subscription boxes is too many?

Industry data: 42% of US adults have 3 or more active subscriptions, and the average household spends $219/month across all subscription services (not just boxes). For subscription boxes specifically, 2-3 boxes is the sweet spot — enough variety to justify the per-box discovery model, few enough that you actually use what arrives. Above 4 active boxes, accumulation churn kicks in and your usage percentage drops across all of them.

Q06Should I cancel boxes scoring under 1.00?

Not automatically. Scores in the 0.90-1.10 range are 'fair value' — you're getting roughly what you paid for. The cut threshold is below 0.90, where you're consistently losing money. If a box scores 0.85-1.00, try the cancellation flow first — most subscription boxes offer a discount, free shipping, or a pause option that can push the score into 'keep' territory. Only cancel outright when you've tried retention offers and the score still doesn't work.

Q07Why does the average US adult spend $219/month?

That figure covers all recurring subscriptions — streaming, software, gym memberships, meal kits, beauty boxes, pet boxes, news subscriptions, etc. — not just subscription boxes. Most people estimate they spend around $86/month but actual averages are 2-3× higher because subscriptions accumulate one at a time. Each individual sign-up feels small ($15-$45), but six of them stacked become a significant monthly line item that doesn't get audited until something triggers a review (price increase, financial stress, paying off a credit card).

Q08What's the 90-day rule?

If a box has been in your rotation more than 90 days and still scores below 0.90, cancel it. The first 90 days are when you're most generous in assessing a new box — the novelty inflates perceived value. If a box hasn't earned a healthy score by month 4, it won't. Use the tracker to flag any sub-0.90 box that's been active for more than three months.

Q09Can I track non-box subscriptions here?

Technically yes — the math works for any monthly subscription with a price, a count of items received, and a retail value. But the value score is most meaningful for physical-goods boxes (beauty, food, candle, pet, men's, kids, book) where 'retail value' and 'items used' have clear meaning. For digital services like streaming, a usage-based tracker designed for software (number of hours watched ÷ monthly price) is a better fit.
