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

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

Podcasters pay monthly for hosting, transcription and audiograms forever, even for a back catalog that no longer grows. Pay-once audio tools cap the cost of a show at a single payment.

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

Podcasters ask

Is Renewcheck worth it for podcasters?

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 podcasters, 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.
