FAQ
Can I track Claude and Perplexity at the same time in SubRemind?
Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add Claude and Perplexity as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.
What if Claude bills me in a different currency than Perplexity?
That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a Claude sub in one currency and a Perplexity sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.
Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep Claude or Perplexity?
No — SubRemind shows you the cost picture but never recommends cancellations. After running both for a month or two, look at the category donut and the upcoming-30-days view to decide which one earns its monthly cost.
Are free trials for Claude and Perplexity tracked separately?
Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have Claude on a free trial while Perplexity is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
