FAQ
Can I track ExpressVPN and NordVPN at the same time in SubRemind?
Yes. There's no limit on subscriptions or overlap between categories. Add ExpressVPN and NordVPN as two separate entries; both will appear in your monthly total, your projection chart, and the upcoming-30-days list.
What if ExpressVPN bills me in a different currency than NordVPN?
That's fine. SubRemind converts each subscription into your chosen base currency using live exchange rates, so a ExpressVPN sub in one currency and a NordVPN sub in another will both appear correctly in your aggregate stats.
Will SubRemind tell me whether to keep ExpressVPN or NordVPN?
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 ExpressVPN and NordVPN tracked separately?
Yes. Each subscription has its own trial state. You can have ExpressVPN on a free trial while NordVPN is on a paid plan; only the paid one will count toward this month's total.
