Subscription Overlap Detector

If you subscribe to Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video, you are paying three times for services that compete directly for the same type of content. The same applies to Spotify and Apple Music, or NordVPN and ExpressVPN. Most people have at least one pair of overlapping subscriptions they could consolidate.

This tool analyses your subscription list and identifies which services overlap with each other. It then recommends which to keep based on price, cancellation difficulty, and content coverage — so you can cut the redundant ones and keep the best value.

Select all your current subscriptions below. The more you add, the more accurately we can identify overlap and suggest which to drop.

Select at least 2 services to check for overlap.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is overlap determined between services?

We map content and feature overlap between services based on their target audience, content libraries, and feature sets. For example, Netflix and Disney+ overlap significantly because both offer streaming video with original content. Spotify and Apple Music overlap almost completely because both offer the same music catalogue. The overlap data is reviewed and updated regularly.

What if I only use one service for specific shows?

That is a valid reason to keep overlapping services. The point of this tool is not to tell you to cancel everything — it is to highlight where you might be paying twice for similar content. If you watch specific exclusive shows on each service, there is no overlap in practice. Consider rotating services instead: subscribe to one, binge what you want, cancel, and switch to the next.

Which subscription categories have the most overlap?

Streaming and video services have the highest overlap — most people subscribe to 2-3 services that compete directly. Music services also overlap heavily since they all license the same catalogue. Software subscriptions tend to have less overlap because each tool serves a more specific purpose.

How much can I save by cutting overlapping services?

The average UK household subscribes to 2.4 streaming services with significant overlap. Cutting just one overlapping streaming service saves £8-13 per month, or £96-156 per year. Across all subscription categories, eliminating overlap typically saves £150-300 per year.
