Questions about Sumbell

Sumbell helps you organize subscriptions and recurring expenses. Keep their details together, see expected payment dates and compare your monthly and yearly costs. Explore the features.

Sumbell focuses on recurring commitments, rather than a full record of every transaction. It helps you understand the regular costs you enter. It does not provide financial advice.

You can track subscriptions such as streaming, software and memberships, alongside recurring expenses such as rent, phone plans, utilities and insurance. Each record holds the amount, currency, schedule and next payment date, with a category and optional notes.

Enter the subscription or expense name, amount, currency, schedule and next payment date. Add a category and any notes you need. You can edit those details when a price, date or other information changes.

No. You choose which records to add and enter their details yourself. Sumbell does not connect to your bank, discover subscriptions automatically or import bank transactions.

You change the status of the record in Sumbell. This does not pause or cancel the service with its provider. You can also delete a record you no longer need.

No. You still need to cancel services and arrange payments directly with each provider. Sumbell helps you track the details and expected dates.

Yes. Sumbell supports recurring expenses as well as subscriptions. Add regular commitments such as rent, insurance, utilities and broadband, using the amount and schedule for each one.

Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly schedules are included on every plan. Pro and Household also support custom intervals, such as every two weeks.

Enter an estimate, then update the record when you know the amount. Totals and expected payments reflect the information you enter. Sumbell does not check the amount against your bank account.

Sumbell uses each record’s amount and schedule to express its recurring cost as monthly and yearly equivalents. For example, a £120 yearly membership has a £10 monthly equivalent. These figures help you compare commitments with different schedules.

Not necessarily. A monthly equivalent spreads a recurring cost across months. Upcoming payments follow the dates and schedules on your records. They are expected payments, not confirmation that money has left your account.

A £120 yearly bill contributes £10 to your monthly equivalent, but the expected payment on its due date is still £120. The monthly equivalent is not a monthly charge.

Yes, on every plan. Keep each record in its original currency and review totals separately for each currency. Sumbell does not convert exchange rates or combine different currencies into one total.

Pro and Household include custom reminders and email renewal reminders. Free includes upcoming payments, so you can review expected dates from the records you enter.

Yes. Your records belong to your Sumbell account. Free and Pro each include one profile. You must be at least 18 years old to create or use an account.

Household includes all Pro features and up to 5 profiles managed through one account. Each profile has its own records, categories, totals, statistics and upcoming payments. A combined overview brings household costs together, with each currency still shown separately.

No. The main account owner manages every Household profile. Profiles do not have separate logins or invited user accounts.

Yes. Contact contact@sumbell.com to request deletion. Account deletion and cancelling a paid subscription are separate actions, so make sure any paid subscription is cancelled where required. See the Privacy Policy for deletion and retention details.

Free includes one profile and up to 10 active recurring items, monthly and yearly totals, upcoming payments, standard categories, basic filtering and sorting, and separate currency totals. Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly schedules are included. Compare the plans.

Both paid plans include unlimited recurring items, custom intervals and categories, advanced filtering and sorting, spending statistics, custom and email renewal reminders, and CSV export. Household also adds up to 5 profiles and a combined household overview. See Pricing for the full comparison.

Eligible users can try Pro free for 7 days. Household does not include a free trial. Unless cancelled before the trial ends, the Pro subscription begins automatically and your payment method may be charged for the selected billing period. See the trial and cancellation terms.

You can cancel a paid Sumbell plan at any time to stop future renewals. Paid access normally continues until the end of the current billing period. Your account may then return to Free and its limits. Cancellation does not delete your account.

Where a paid plan change is available, its billing effect is explained before you confirm. A downgrade may restrict features or additional profiles. See the Cancellation and Refund Policy for the applicable terms.

The Cancellation and Refund Policy explains the voluntary 7 day refund period for your first paid Sumbell purchase and how to request a refund. This does not normally cover later renewals and does not reduce your statutory rights. It applies to Sumbell charges, not payments to providers you track.

No. Sumbell works with the recurring costs you enter. You do not need to connect your bank or provide bank login details.

For each commitment, you enter details such as its name, amount, currency, schedule and next payment date. You can add categories, a status and notes. Do not store full card numbers, passwords or authentication codes in notes. The Privacy Policy also explains account and service information.

No. Sumbell does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers where needed to operate the service, or where legally required. See the Privacy Policy for details.
