How to use it
- Enter each subscription's price, usage, value score, and price sensitivity, then apply either a global hike or custom hike assumptions. This tool only helps if value scores are honest instead of every service being marked as essential.
- Read annual spend baseline, annual spend after hike, and the keep/review/cancel ranking. A low-value service becomes a high-priority cut once even a small hike pushes its cost per use above your tolerance.
- If the hike pushes wants spending above your budget cap or raises a low-value service by 20% or more, the default answer should be review now, not later. Small recurring hikes compound like fee drag.
- Cancel the highest-risk services before the renewal date, and only switch to annual billing for services you would still keep at the higher price. Fold the savings back into your budget plan instead of letting it leak into other wants.
- Re-run whenever you receive a price-change email or add new subscriptions. Track annualized subscription spend and how many services sit in the review or cancel bucket.

Agent playbook
- Resolve Subscription Price-Hike Risk Calculator from /agent-tools.json and open its contract before execution.
- Validate inputs against the contract schema instead of scraping labels from the page UI.
- Open the browser page only when a person wants to review charts, assumptions, or related tools.
Agent FAQ
Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?
No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.
When do tools show Quick and Advanced?
Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.
When should an agent still open the browser page?
Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.
Questions people usually ask
How is cancellation risk scored?
Risk combines value score, usage frequency, hike pressure, and price elasticity into a deterministic 0-100 score.
Can this handle non-streaming subscriptions?
Yes. Add any recurring app, SaaS, membership, or media service with your own usage/value assumptions.
What is target savings mode?
It estimates a cut list needed to reach your target annual savings percentage under your hike assumptions.
Is this professional advice?
No. Outputs are planning estimates only — not financial, tax, or investment advice.
