The Cancel Ledger · 3 lines
What did you stop paying for?
A public, anonymous list of subscriptions people replaced with their stack, and what replaced them. Community-contributed. Nobody is named, on either side. No vendor bashing; a product that lost to a skill file did nothing wrong. The ledger records the fact of the replacement and nothing else.
The ledger also records what the Stack Test told someone to keep. A list that only ever says "replaced" would be advertising. Lines marked kept are the test working.

- What it was
- A social media scheduler
- Replaced by
- A scheduled task that drafts on Sunday and a connector to each account where one exists; where none exists, the stack leaves the draft and a reminder
- Note
Run through the Stack Test on launch day. Connector: with setup. Skill: yes. Scheduled task: yes. Separate relationship: no. Product, not a record. The honest part is that one of the two networks has no connector, so half the posts are still pasted by hand. That is still no subscription.
- What it was
- A password manager
- Kept because
- It is a record and a security boundary. The vault holds facts nothing else holds, and a stack should not hold them either.
- Note
Run through the Stack Test on launch day. Connector: no, and there should not be one. Skill: no. Scheduled task: no. Separate relationship: yes. A record. The test said keep, and it was right to. The first three lines of this ledger were meant to show the test working in both directions.
- What it was
- A grammar checker
- Replaced by
- A one-page skill that says what to fix, what to leave alone, and which words never to use
- Note
Run through the Stack Test on launch day. Connector: not needed. Skill: yes. Scheduled task: not needed. Separate relationship: no. Product, not a record. The cleanest result on the list. The skill took twenty minutes to write and has not asked for an upgrade since.
Amounts are what the contributor reported paying, rounded. Categories are used instead of brand names on purpose. If a line names a company, it will be edited to the category before it is merged.
