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

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

Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.

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

Freelancers ask

Is Renewcheck worth it for freelancers?

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 freelancers, 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.
