Here is my list of 11 monthly subscriptions and how often I actually open each one. Help me decide what to cancel, what to keep, and where I am on too high a tier. For one tool I still use but do not need Premium for, draft a polite cancellation email that may trigger a retention offer. Do not send anything.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish. Goal: Audit my subscription list and draft keep/cancel moves plus one retention email. Questions to ask me first: - Paste the full subscription list with prices? - Which ones are work vs personal? - Which tool should get a cancellation-email retention try? Inputs (fill in or confirm): - Subscriptions: [LIST WITH $] - Use frequency: [NOTES] - Retention target: [TOOL NAME] Rules: - Ask clarifying use questions before recommending cancels. - Never send email; draft only. - Separate must-keep work tools from unused personal ones. Checkpoint: Show the keep/cancel table before drafting any email. If you get stuck: If usage is unclear, ask once more instead of guessing. Verify before you finish: Every cancel has a reason; retention draft names the tier I want. Output: Keep/cancel table, annualized savings estimate, draft cancellation email. Done when: I can cancel or send the draft myself.

Outcome
After listing eleven subscriptions, murathanoran used Claude to quiz real use and cancel two unused services. For a project tool kept on an overpriced premium tier, Claude drafted a cancellation email that triggered a retention offer: annual plan at 40% off within six hours. Claude cut the stack; subscription cuts totaled about $67 a month ($804 a year), which with the internet win made $1,224 a year.
