Template Idea: Tracking Subscriptions
In recent years, I got a lot of subscriptions as this is a common business model nowadays. Businesses value monthly revenue more than one-off payments in order to have a constant cash flow. That helps them to plan ahead and keep their business alive. Good for them!
Keeping track of all your subscriptions can be a difficult task, especially when you have multiple services and memberships that you are paying for. With so many subscriptions, it can be easy to lose track of which ones you're paying for, and when they're due for renewal. This can lead to overspending on subscriptions you don't use or need, or even missing a renewal and losing access to a service you rely on.
A Notion template for tracking subscriptions can help you get an overview of all your subscriptions in one place and avoid losing money. This template can include various features such as a database to store your subscriptions, a calendar to keep track of renewal dates, and a budget tracker to monitor your spending.
The subscription database can include properties such as the service name, the amount you pay, the renewal date, and a link to the service's website. You can also add properties such as the category of the service (e.g. entertainment, productivity, fitness), and whether or not you are currently using the service. With these properties, you can easily search and filter your subscriptions based on their category or usage.
The calendar view can show the upcoming renewal dates of your subscriptions, making it easy to see when you need to renew or cancel a service. You can also set reminders for the days before the renewal date, so you don't miss it.
The budget tracking feature can include a database of your spending on subscriptions, where you can add the amount you pay for each service, and see your total spending for the month or year. You can also set a budget for your subscription spending, and monitor your progress throughout the month.
Additionally, you can also add a feature to track the history of your subscriptions, where you can see the services you subscribed to in the past, the duration of your subscription, and the reason for cancelling or unsubscribing.
