FAQ

Can I track GitHub Copilot and Cursor at the same time in SubRemind?

Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add GitHub Copilot and Cursor as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.

What if GitHub Copilot bills me in a different currency than Cursor?

That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a GitHub Copilot sub in one currency and a Cursor sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.

Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep GitHub Copilot or Cursor?

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 GitHub Copilot and Cursor tracked separately?

Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have GitHub Copilot on a free trial while Cursor is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
