Thanks for the feedback. We're definitely thinking about OAuth for Paypal. Unfortunately, banks and credit cards don't usually have modern APIs :) so we're forced to do old-school authentication. That said, we use Plaid for that, so we don't deal with any passwords ourselves.

A one-time up-front $10 fee may build trust, but it would also scare people away.

There's a few ways we can go for revenue. Here's an example: Since we know what subscriptions are popular, and we can have verified ratings on those subscriptions, we'll be able to make recommendations. For example, "You're paying $12 for Pandora. People seem to be happier with Spotify, and your friends love it. Give it a try!" Using those referrals, we'd get a cut of the subscription revenue from Spotify.

Hi all, We're former founders of Webs (formerly FreeWebz). We made Truebill because too many people are getting ripped off by monthly subscriptions that they either forgot about or are too lazy to cancel. Now that so much is moving over to subscriptions, we think it warrants one place to manage them all.
