# SubHorizon
> AI-powered subscription intelligence platform for developers, freelancers, and builders who juggle multiple AI tool subscriptions.

SubHorizon is a subscription management platform purpose-built for the vibe coder era. Most developers now spend $135–$264 per month across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Midjourney, and a rotating cast of AI tools — with zero visibility into total spend. SubHorizon gives them that visibility through AI-powered receipt parsing, a pre-seeded catalog of 18+ AI tools, smart renewal alerts, and spending analytics. No bank login required. Privacy-first by design.

## Core Features

- **AI Receipt Parsing**: Forward an email or upload a screenshot. SubHorizon extracts the tool name, price, billing cycle, and plan tier automatically. Available on the Max plan.
- **Pre-Seeded AI Tool Catalog**: SubHorizon already knows correct pricing tiers, billing cycles, and plan names for 18+ AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Midjourney, Replit, Gemini, Perplexity, Bolt, Lovable, v0, Devin, Zed, Notion AI, Figma AI, Supabase, and Vercel. Adding a subscription takes seconds, not minutes.
- **Smart Renewal Alerts**: Proactive notifications at 30, 60, and 90 days before renewal. Never be surprised by an auto-renewal again.
- **Budget Goals**: Set monthly spending targets and track progress. Get alerts when approaching limits.
- **Savings Tracking**: Identifies unused subscriptions, duplicate tools, and downgrade opportunities. Shows exactly how much you can save.
- **Multi-Currency Support**: 20+ currencies with automatic conversion. Built for global developers billing in USD, EUR, GBP, and more.
- **Payment History**: Full audit log of every payment across all subscriptions. See trends over time.
- **Category Management**: Organize subscriptions by category (AI Assistants, Code Editors, Design Tools, Infrastructure, etc.).
- **Calendar View**: Visual calendar showing upcoming renewals and billing dates.
- **PDF/CSV Export**: Export subscription data, payment history, and analytics for tax preparation or expense reports.
- **Dashboard**: Central view with total monthly spend, spending trends, category breakdowns, upcoming renewals, and quick actions.

## Privacy and Architecture

SubHorizon does not require bank account linking. Users control exactly what data enters the system — through AI parsing, the tool catalog, or manual entry. The platform is a web application (React 19 + Vite frontend, Rust/Actix backend, PostgreSQL) accessible on any device with a browser.

## Pricing

SubHorizon is a paid product. There is no permanently free plan; every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

- **Pro ($1.99/month)**: Track up to 20 subscriptions. Dashboard, renewal alerts, categories, calendar view, full analytics, 1 budget goal, multi-currency support, payment history, exports.
- **Max ($5.99/month)**: Track up to 200 subscriptions. Everything in Pro plus 3 budget goals, AI receipt parsing, smart recommendations, advanced analytics, and savings detection.

## Target Audience

SubHorizon is designed for:
- **Solo developers and indie hackers** who pay for multiple AI coding tools personally
- **Freelancers** managing AI tool subscriptions across client projects
- **Vibe coders** who discover and try new AI tools frequently, accumulating subscription sprawl
- **Small teams** that need lightweight subscription visibility without enterprise procurement overhead

The typical SubHorizon user has 5–20 active AI tool subscriptions and spends $135–$264/month.

- **vs Enterprise tools** (Cledara, Torii, Zylo at $5K+/year): SubHorizon is self-serve, individual-friendly, and starts at $1.99/month after a 14-day free trial. Designed for individuals and small teams, not IT procurement departments.
