SubsCrab, a mobile app that helps customers track their subscriptions and manage their payment schedules, now gets a premium edition from Kaspersky. SubsCrab makes the entire subscription tracking process clear and cost-effective for users. It is a multiplatform software for iOS and Android that includes over 4,000 subscription services and 11,000 tariff plans.
The subscription model is a simple and transparent method of monetizing digital services that has grown in popularity in recent years. According to The Business Research Company’s “Subscription E-Commerce Global Market Report,” the global subscription e-commerce market will rise by 64.4% from $119.4 billion in 2022 to $196.35 billion in 2023. According to Deloitte’s “Digital Media Trends Survey,” 20% of the world’s population has more than ten paid subscriptions totaling more than $100 USD each month.
SubsCrab was created in the Kaspersky Product Studio, the company’s commercial division in charge of developing and validating new partnerships and solutions.
SubsCrab is a cross-platform software that is accessible for both iOS and Android. It has a wide catalogue of subscriptions accessible, including over 4,000 subscription services and 11,000 rate plans. In addition, unlike other subscription tracking apps, SubsCrab does not limit the number of subscriptions that users can add.
There are two versions of the app: free and premium. The Free app comes with a simple subscription tracker that allows the user to view and manually add all active subscriptions, as well as a calendar of upcoming costs. Furthermore, push notifications about forthcoming costs, as well as alternative services and valuable information on subscriptions of interest, are available.
The premium Premium version’s functionality is substantially broader, with a range of other useful tools. The Email Scan option, in particular, alleviates the need to manually enter each active subscription into the service: the programme simply scans a specified mailbox and discovers and adds the user’s active subscriptions.
Furthermore, the user can allocate accounts to other categories. It is feasible, for example, to separate work-related subscriptions from personal subscriptions such as gaming and streaming services.
“Today, most digital services, programmes, and applications operate on a subscription model,” said SubsCrab founder Kirill Yurkin. “It is a user-friendly approach that is also simple to grasp.” However, at some point, customers amass too many subscriptions, making it difficult to keep track of them and potentially costly. SubsCrab was created to consolidate each user’s active subscriptions in one spot, allowing them to track a crucial element of their lives that would otherwise be difficult to track without such support.”
