Before you connect Gmail, here is exactly how AutoBill IQ works, what it sees, what it never touches, and how your data stays yours.
What AutoBill IQ does
We don't try to be a full email client or a bank. We do one thing well — surface every recurring charge so you can decide what to keep.
Filters for receipts, invoices, and renewal notices — not personal threads.
Identifies cadence, amount, and merchant across months of history.
Surfaces services you stopped using but are still paying for.
Flags when a merchant raises your monthly or annual price.
Highlights overlapping tools so you can keep one and drop the rest.
Projects yearly spend, renewal radar, and savings opportunities.
What AutoBill IQ does NOT do
If any of these ever change, we will tell you before it ships. No quiet expansions of scope.
We have no send permission. We cannot reply, forward, or compose.
Cancellations always require your explicit action — we just route you.
No bank logins, no card numbers, no Plaid-style account scraping.
Read-only scope. We can't move, label, archive, or delete a single email.
No ad networks, no data brokers, no third-party analytics on your inbox.
Personal threads, work mail, and family chats are filtered out before AI ever sees them.
Security & privacy
Less stored, less granted, less retained — by design.
Google's gmail.readonly scope. We literally cannot write.
OAuth tokens encrypted at rest, isolated per user via row-level security.
Sign in through Google. We never see your Google password.
We don't store passwords. Auth runs through your identity provider.
One click here, or remove the app from your Google security settings.
Account deletion wipes tokens, scans, and derived data within 7 days.
Full JSON export of every subscription, scan, and insight on demand.
AI, explained
Our model reads patterns in subscription mail, then proposes actions in plain English. Nothing ships without your tap.
Looks at amount, cadence, and merchant signals across your receipts.
Classifies one-off vs. recurring with confidence scoring.
Surfaces duplicates, dormant trials, and downgrade opportunities.
AI has zero write permission. It recommends — it does not act.
Cancellations, dismissals, and changes always require your tap.
Transparency note: AI suggestions are probabilistic. We show you the source email and confidence so you can verify anything before taking action. See our AI Transparency page for model details.
Why this matters
The average household pays for 12+ recurring services and remembers fewer than half.
Annual charges land months after you forgot you signed up. The reminder is the receipt.
A $2 price hike across 10 services is $240 a year — quietly.
‘Free for 30 days’ converts into a charge the moment you stop paying attention.
Couples and parents juggle overlapping plans across multiple inboxes.
Just seeing the total monthly number is often enough to start cutting.
