Subscription Audit App is an application that analyzes users' subscription services, providing insights on spending patterns and suggesting areas to cut back or unsubscribe. It was pitched on My First Million, hosted by Sam Parr and Shaan Puri, in the episode "Asking Scott Galloway 10 Questions We’re Not Allowed To Ask (unfiltered)" (aired February 16, 2026).

The problem it solves
This app helps users identify and eliminate unnecessary subscriptions, ultimately saving them money and promoting more conscious spending habits.
How it makes money
The business would function on a subscription basis, charging users a monthly fee for ongoing access to the app's analytics and recommendations.
Skills you need
Essential skills include software development, data analytics, user interface design, and knowledge of personal finance.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of personal finance management apps has created a market receptive to tools that help users manage subscriptions. The first revenue move could be targeting communities on Reddit, such as r/personalfinance, where users frequently discuss budgeting and subscription management. A significant risk for this app is the customer acquisition cost, which may be high due to competition with established financial tools and the challenge of convincing users to pay for another subscription service.
