Renewcheck for Developers: Track every subscription's renewal date without linking your

Track every subscription's renewal date without linking your bank account.

Developers rent API docs, monitoring, secrets and webhook plumbing by the month for side projects that earn nothing yet. Self-hosted pay-once utilities cost less than one month of the SaaS they replace.

The tool this job usually means renting is Rocket Money, at $6–12/mo (Premium) — roughly $96 a year, every year. Renewcheck does the job for a one-time $15 — running locally on your own machine.

FAQ

Developers ask

Is Renewcheck worth it for developers?

Two months of Rocket Money Premium costs more than Renewcheck does, once, forever. Renewcheck costs $15 once; Rocket Money charges $6–12/mo (Premium) — about $96 a year. For developers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.

Is it really free on GitHub?

Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/renewcheck-mvp. The $15 buys the packaged installer and updates.

Why manual entry instead of bank sync?

Because bank sync means handing a third party read access to your entire transaction history to solve a problem that's really just "remember these dates." If auto-detection from real transactions matters more to you than privacy, Rocket Money is the better fit.
