Which tool for which job
- Opening a new account
- The password generator makes a password you will not reuse, and the username generator suggests names that say nothing about who you are. The guide to creating a Gmail account shows where both go, and picking a username explains why your first choice is so often taken.
- Checking what you pay for
- The subscription calculator adds up every plan into one monthly and yearly figure, and the cost per use calculator shows what each one costs for the time you actually use it. If a charge surprises you, start with finding a subscription you forgot.
- Starting a free trial
- The free trial reminder puts the end date in your calendar with time to cancel. Why free trials ask for your card covers what happens if you miss it.
