Why we refused to use Plaid/bank logins for our SaaS spend tracker (and built a local inbox scanner instead)
Hey indie hackers!
Like most solo founders, even I subscribed to dozens of micro-SaaS tools, AI APIs, and hosting platforms. A few months ago, I realized we were wasting over $150/mo on forgotten trials and unused seats.
I looked into SaaS spend trackers, but hated that every single one requires Plaid or online banking credentials.
So I built SubNuke (https://www.getsubnuke.com).
How I built it without bank logins:
Instead of scraping bank feeds, SubNuke is a read-only inbox and receipt scanner. You forward your invoice emails or connect a read-only inbox, and it parses billing receipts locally to build your subscription dashboard.
To make it even more useful, I mapped out the cancellation flows for over 500+ SaaS tools so you get direct 1-click cancellation links and pre-written customer support refund scripts.
I just launched our public beta with a 3-day free trial.
Would love feedback from fellow Micro-SaaS builders: How do you currently keep track of your recurring software stack and server expenses?
