Many of the applications we use on Android have some kind of subscriptionThink of apps like Spotify or Netflix. Android users in Spain can manage these subscriptions from the Play Store itself at any time. Although there are times when they accumulate too much or the expense involved is too high.
Good management of these subscriptions that we have active in Android is something important. Luckily, there are a series of tips that can help us to manage them well and not be paying more money than we should to have them active today.
Google Play improves subscriptions: how it will affect appsThe Google Play Store has improved subscriptions to give more power to developers. This will affect the applications.
Control your subscriptions
You may have accumulated so many subscriptions that You have no idea what services you pay for. If you have subscribed to many applications, it is likely that there are some that you do not use or need more, but for which you continue to pay money every month. Therefore, it is advisable to review all those applications in which you have a subscription at that time from time to time. Since it is likely that you will see that there are some that you do not use already or do not have plans to use.
- Open the Play Store.
- Go to Subscriptions.
- Check which ones you currently have active.
- Cancel those that you don’t use or are going to use more.
Control completion dates
One thing to keep in mind with subscriptions is that they are usually renewed automaticallya, so without your noticing, you have paid another month more. Therefore, controlling the dates on which each one of them ends and perhaps introducing a reminder in your calendar, will give you more control.
By knowing when a specific subscription ends, you can decide before it is automatically renewed, if you want to continue using of it or not. Thus, there may be some that at a certain time you will not renew, saving money thanks to it.
Annual vs monthly subscription
There are services that offer monthly subscriptions, but also the ability to pay for a one-time annual subscription. In some cases, this annual subscription usually offers some type of discount that makes it cheaper. Disney + for example, which costs 6.99 euros per month or paying annually costs 69.99 euros, allowing a slight saving. If it is a service that you are going to use and it has an annual subscription, which has that discount, then it may be worth it to hire that plan.
You have to differentiate between those services you really want and you are going to use and those that maybe are for something specific. For those who really use, an annual subscription is always a good option. For those of you who plan to use little time or want to try first, monthly subscriptions are the best option to start.

Share subscriptions
There are platforms where we can share a subscription, so that we are going to pay less money. Spotify has long had a special plan for families, for example. If you have this possibility, it is a good option to consider, if you live with family members or with your partner, and both of you use the service in question. Sharing a subscription plan is a simple way to enjoy the service, paying less.
Even in Google Play there is a family plan, to save on the purchase of games and applications, which is another option that for many may be of interest. Therefore, check which of those subscriptions you use have family or shared plans, and thus be able to share it with someone close and reduce costs in a simple way.
