Five money issues we solve

The everyday tradeoffs
that quietly drain your wallet.

We built a focused tool for each — no generic budgeting fluff. Learn the issue, run the numbers, act in minutes.

01 / SUBSCRIPTIONS

The quiet drip of subscriptions you forgot you had.

The average member finds $186/year hidden in dormant plans. Our optimizer scores each one Keep, Pause, or Cancel — based on how you actually use it.

Subscription Keep/Pause/Cancel
Streaming Plus · used 2×/moCANCEL
Fitness App · used dailyKEEP
News Weekly · seasonalPAUSE
02 / GROCERY & MEALS

Grocery basket math, done before the checkout beeps.

Build the basket, get per-meal cost, and compare against takeout. See exactly where your food budget leaks — brand swaps, portion sizes, and skipped ingredients.

03 / TRAVEL

Splurge or save — priced honestly.

Plot your trip on a splurge/save spectrum. See which upgrades are worth it and which cost you a whole extra weekend away.

Every BNPL offer runs through a live affordability check — stack limit, real APR, and impact on next month's cash.

How it works

Learn. Calculate.
Decide. Repeat.

Four steps, every time. No spreadsheet fatigue. No 90-page financial guides. Just the loop that works.

STEP 01

Learn the issue

Two-minute plain-English briefs. What's happening, why it costs you, what smart people do.

Aa
STEP 02

Run the numbers

Pick a microapp. Plug in your reality. Get a specific dollar answer — not a range.

1+2
STEP 03

Decide, act

One tap: cancel, pause, keep, buy, wait. Actions save to your streak automatically.

STEP 04

Track & compound

Your dashboard turns wins into habits. Alerts catch the next tradeoff before it costs you.

Your dashboard

One home for every
money win.

The dashboard aggregates every decision — subs cancelled, meals cooked, BNPL declined — into one honest scoreboard.

No. Every microapp works with manual inputs — you can use the entire product without connecting anything. Bank import (Pro) is optional and read-only.
Those are ledgers — they show you what you spent. DIYConsumers is a decision toolkit — it helps you make the actual call before you spend. Complementary, not competitive.
A single-purpose tool that answers one question really well and finishes in under three minutes. Think Meal vs Takeout, or BNPL Safety Checker. No dashboards to configure, no accounts to link.
Yes. Encrypted at rest, never sold, never shared with advertisers. If you connect a bank via Plaid, credentials never touch our servers. Delete your account and everything is gone in 24 hours.
One tap. From inside the app. No email jail, no retention team, no "are you sure" carousel. We built the Subscription Optimizer — we're not going to be the villain in it.
On Pro: if you use the product for 30 days and haven't saved at least the cost of the plan, we refund it. Just email us — no forms.

Make your next
money move — today.

Free forever. Upgrade when the tools have already paid for themselves. That's it.
