Our mission
We started BillSlash because the same problem kept showing up in our own lives and our friends': nobody actually knows what they're paying for. Eight streaming services. Two gym memberships. A wireless bill that quietly went up $15 last spring. A car-insurance renewal that nobody read.
Most personal finance apps are built to show you a budget. We built BillSlash to do something different: surface the bills you're actually paying every month, give you a real script to call the provider, and quietly track whether the savings stuck.
Who we are
We're a small distributed team — engineers, designers, and ex-bill-negotiators — based primarily in California with contributors across the U.S. Our backgrounds cover fintech, consumer SaaS, and customer support at companies that handle sensitive financial data. We don't pretend to be Wall Street; we built the tool we wished existed when we were the ones overpaying for Comcast.
Why we partner with Plaid
Every bank connection in BillSlash is powered by Plaid, the same secure bank-data network used by Venmo, Robinhood, Chime, and thousands of other apps. Plaid lets us read transaction history (so we can detect recurring bills automatically) without ever seeing or storing your bank password. Connections are read-only — we can't move money even if we wanted to.
What we believe
Security first
Every bank connection runs through Plaid with read-only access. Tokens stay server-side; passwords never touch our servers.
Built for real people
We don't sell you investment products or charge percentages of your savings. A flat subscription means our incentives stay aligned with yours.
Outcomes over features
We measure success in dollars our users keep. The average BillSlash member saves $300–$1,800 a year on recurring bills.
Independent and honest
No paid placements in our resource articles. Our app rankings reflect months of hands-on testing, not affiliate fees.

Editorial standards
Our resource articles are written by the same team that builds the product. We don't accept paid placements, sponsored rankings, or affiliate commissions that influence which apps we recommend. When we say "the best budgeting apps" or "the best expense tracker", those rankings come from weeks of hands-on testing with real bank accounts.
We disclose when BillSlash competes with an app we're reviewing — usually we rank ourselves #1 because we genuinely think we built the better tool for tracking recurring bills, but we tell you honestly when another app is a better fit. See disclaimers for details.
