Frequently asked
Can SubRemind track non-subscription recurring expenses?
Yes — anything with a fixed price and a renewal date works. Insurance, mortgage, utilities, gym memberships. Use the "Custom" service option to add anything that isn't in the pre-loaded list.
How does the 12-month projection chart handle yearly bills?
Yearly bills appear as a full charge in their actual renewal month, not averaged out. So if your car insurance is due in November, you'll see a spike in November on the projection chart — which is what you need for cash-flow planning.
