Subscription Audit Worksheet Template

What is the subscription audit worksheet form template?

Recurring charges are easy to start and easy to forget. A trial that converted, an upgrade nobody downgraded, two tools that do the same job — each one is small, and they add up quietly on the card statement.

This worksheet walks through an audit in three pages. First you say whether it's a household, team or small business audit and where you looked for charges. Then you list up to eight subscriptions, each with its cost, billing cycle, next renewal date, who uses it and a decision: keep, downgrade, cancel, switch to a shared plan or review later. Only as many blocks appear as the number you enter.

The summary page records monthly cost before and after, overlaps, free trials about to convert, who will act on each change and when to audit again. The result is saved as a PDF in your FileIt vault, so next year's audit starts from this one.

The subscription audit worksheet form, page by page

1 Getting started

The reviewer gives Your name, Email and the Audit date. What are you auditing? offers household, a team or department, or a small business; the last two ask for the team or business name. Where did you look for recurring charges? lists bank and card statements, app store subscriptions, payment apps, receipts in email and supplier invoices. How many subscriptions are you listing? takes a number from 1 to 8.

2 Subscriptions

One block appears for each subscription in the count. Each asks for the Service, Cost per billing, how it's Billed (monthly, quarterly, yearly, weekly or other), the Next billing or renewal date, Who uses it? and a Decision: keep, downgrade, cancel, switch to a shared or family plan, or review later.

3 Summary & actions

The reviewer records Total monthly cost before changes and the Expected monthly cost after changes, notes overlaps or duplicates and free trials about to convert, and writes down who will cancel or change what, and by when. A Next audit date and an upload for a full list or statements finish the worksheet.

Make the template yours

• Add more subscription blocks in the designer if eight isn't enough
• Change the currency fields to your own currency
• Add a cost centre or budget line field for team audits
• Add an account owner question so you know who can cancel each service
• Set a calendar reminder to repeat the audit each year
• Rename the decision options to match your purchasing policy

Tips for a better subscription audit worksheet form

• Check at least two months of statements — quarterly and yearly charges hide in a single month
• Look for app store and payment app subscriptions, which often don't show the service's name clearly
• Cancel before the renewal date, not on it
• Ask users before cancelling a team tool; someone may rely on it
• Keep the PDF so you can compare next year's total with this one
