How to compare personal-care subscriptions
Subscriptions are mostly a question of flexibility, total annual cost and how easy they are to leave.
Work out the annual cost
Multiply the recurring charge by the number of deliveries in a year and add shipping. Compare that with buying the same items individually.
Check how you skip, pause and cancel
Find the cancellation route before subscribing. Note any notice period, minimum term or requirement to contact support rather than cancel online.
Delivery frequency versus real use
Most over-spending comes from deliveries arriving faster than products are used. Estimate your actual consumption first.
Substitutions and stock
Check whether the merchant may substitute items and what happens if something you rely on is unavailable.
Data and payment terms
Review what happens to stored payment details and personal data if you cancel, and whether prices can change mid-term.
