Hi, I’m Krishna 👋

I’m a data analyst with a Master’s in Data Science, and I created TrendSpends after realizing I was paying for 14 active subscriptions but actually using only 4.

Sound familiar?

The average household now spends $200-300 per month on subscriptions — streaming services, software tools, newsletters, AI tools, audiobooks, and more. Most people don’t even know what they’re paying for, let alone whether it’s worth it.

That’s where TrendSpends comes in.

What This Site Is About

TrendSpends is your honest guide to subscription services. I review, test, and compare the subscriptions you’re considering — and the ones you’re already paying for — to help you answer one simple question:

“Is this worth my monthly spend?”

I cover:

🎬 Streaming Services — Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, niche streamers

💻 Software & SaaS — Notion, ChatGPT Plus, Adobe, productivity tools

📧 Newsletter Subscriptions — Substack writers, premium publications

📦 Box Subscriptions — Meal kits, beauty boxes, hobby boxes

🎵 Audio & Music — Spotify, Apple Music, audiobook services

📰 News & Media — Premium news subscriptions worth your time

What Makes TrendSpends Different

Most review sites only tell you what to subscribe to. I also tell you what to cancel.

Here’s what I promise:

✅ Honest reviews — including the flaws and limitations

✅ Real testing — I actually use the services I review

✅ Cancellation guidance — not just sales pitches

✅ Free alternatives — when paying isn’t worth it

✅ Side-by-side comparisons — so you can make confident decisions

My Background

I’m a data analyst by trade with experience in healthcare analytics, ETL systems, and BI tools. My job has always been helping people make better decisions with data.

TrendSpends applies that same approach to your subscription spending. I dig into:

• What you actually get for the price
• How services compare to alternatives
• Whether the value matches the cost
• When to subscribe, when to cancel, when to wait

I’m based between the US and India, which gives me a unique perspective on global subscription services and value across different markets.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some of the links on TrendSpends are affiliate links. If you sign up for a service through these links, I may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

This never affects my reviews. I recommend services based on actual value, not commission rates. If a service isn’t worth your money, I’ll tell you — even if I lose a commission.

Spend on what matters. Cancel what doesn’t.
