Little birdie

LITTLE Birdie is an online manager for all your subscriptions. It keeps track of your subscriptions for services such as insurance, broadband and TV streaming and sends you an alert when a free trial is about to end or there is a price rise. It also searches around to see if it can find you a better deal.

To use Little Birdie, you need to download the mobile application on to your smartphone. Launched this month, it will add new features in October, such as the ability to cancel unwanted subscriptions. It claims it can save households £550 a year.

Verdict: The app is simple to download and set up. You have to input your subscriptions or upload the information from the website of your current account provider, using the open banking service.

When I download the app, I notice that my O2 phone bill has risen in price by 46p. It also suggests a cheaper broadband deal that I could switch to.
