The verdict
Trim is ideal if you want someone to negotiate your bills and cancel subscriptions for you — but it requires full bank access and only works in the US. SubHorizon is for builders who want control, privacy, and global subscription intelligence without handing over banking credentials.
Choose SubHorizon if you value privacy (no bank login), live outside the US, want AI receipt parsing and analytics, or prefer to manage cancellations yourself with full visibility.
Choose Trim if you want automated bill negotiation, subscription cancellation concierge, and are comfortable linking your US bank account via Plaid.
Frequently asked questions
Is Trim really free?
Trim's basic features (subscription tracking, spending dashboard) are free. However, bill negotiation — its main value — charges 15% of the total first-year savings. For example, if Trim saves you $200/year on a bill, you pay $30. SubHorizon charges a flat $1.99/mo for Pro with no hidden fees.
Why does SubHorizon not require bank access like Trim?
SubHorizon is privacy-first by design. Instead of scanning bank transactions, it uses AI receipt parsing, a pre-seeded tool catalog, and manual entry. You decide exactly what data enters the system — nothing is pulled from your bank accounts.
Can I use Trim outside the United States?
No. Trim requires a US bank account linked via Plaid and only works with US-based financial institutions. SubHorizon works globally with 20+ currencies and no bank login requirement.
