  3. Install the Chrome extension

    Install the CostLoop Email Scanner from the Chrome Web Store. The extension scans your Gmail for subscription and billing emails - it runs locally in your browser and never sends your emails to external servers.

    Add to Chrome →

  4. Connect Gmail

    Click the CostLoop icon in your Chrome toolbar to open the extension. Follow the prompt to connect your Gmail account. You will be asked to grant read-only access so the extension can find subscription emails.

  5. Scan your inbox

    Press Scan inside the extension. CostLoop will search your inbox for billing emails, renewal notices, and subscription receipts. The scan runs in your browser - your emails stay on your device.

  6. Import your subscriptions

    Review the list of subscriptions the scan found. Select the ones you want to track and click Import. They will appear immediately on your CostLoop dashboard, complete with renewal dates and amounts.

    From here you can set renewal alerts, assign costs to categories, and export reports whenever you need them.

Questions

Common questions

Does CostLoop store my emails?

No. The Chrome extension reads emails locally in your browser. Only the subscription details it finds (service name, amount, renewal date) are saved to your CostLoop account.

Which email accounts are supported?

The extension currently supports Gmail (Google Workspace and personal Gmail accounts). More providers are on the roadmap.

Do I need a paid plan to get started?

No. CostLoop has a free plan that covers the full setup flow including scanning and importing. Paid plans unlock additional features such as team seats and advanced reporting. See Pricing for details.
