Why it matters
Most households have no idea
what they spend each month.
Bills, subscriptions, insurance, utilities, housing costs — they sit across different accounts, different dates, different providers. Without a single view, money leaks through silent renewals, tariff creep, and forgotten deadlines.
Unnoticed spend
£100s
Industry research suggests typical UK households overpay on auto-renewing insurance alone — often by £200 or more per policy per year.
Forgotten subscriptions
~£25–40/mo
Streaming, apps, memberships — research shows UK households underestimate recurring subscription spend by roughly £25–40 per month.
Late fees & penalties
£100+
Council tax penalties, MOT fines, parking charges, late payment fees — these hit households every year. They are almost always avoidable.
Wrong tariff (Energy)
£100s/yr
Many households stay on default rates months after a better deal existed. A simple unit-rate check against a public benchmark can flag hundreds a year.
H.A.B.I.B.I does not guess your bank balance — it organises what you already pay and compares what matters.
Subscription pays for itself
You are already paying
for disorganisation.
This is the cheaper option. One found subscription or one energy review can cover a year of Pro. Everything else is upside.
Typical avoidable household leak (illustrative example)
- Forgotten subscriptions
- ~£25–40/mo
- One insurance auto-renewal
- ~£15–25/mo
- Electricity above benchmark
- ~£10–30/mo
- One avoided MOT / council fine
- £100+ (annualised)
- Realistic annual upside
- £500–1,500+
H.A.B.I.B.I Starter £4.99/mo (£49/yr)Pro £9.99/mo (£99/yr)
One found subscription or one energy review can cover a year of Pro. Everything else is upside. You are already paying for disorganisation. This is the cheaper option.

Public tariff benchmarks
- Enter your electricity tariff — compare to a public Octopus benchmark (single-supplier reference, not whole-of-market)
- Configurable benchmarks flag high standing charges and unit rates for gas and electricity
- Contract end dates surfaced so you act before rollover, not after
Anonymised community comparisons

- Privacy-first: opt-in aggregates only, no identifiable neighbours
- Your subscription gets smarter over time — benchmarks improve as more households join
Benchmarks are indicative, not financial advice. Savings depend on your usage, region, and switching choices.

Who it is for
Anyone managing a home
and its costs.
Homeowners, renters, landlords, families, and anyone with more than one vehicle.
Parents & families
You are managing 30+ recurring dates and payments — MOTs, insurance, streaming services, school dates, bin collections. One dashboard replaces the mental load and shows you what your household actually costs each month.
Homeowners
Buildings insurance, boiler servicing, mortgage payments, bin schedules, council tax — everything the landlord used to handle is now on you. H.A.B.I.B.I helps you track every cost and deadline, and see your full monthly spend in one place.
Landlords & multi-property owners
Multiple properties mean multiple bills, multiple council deadlines, multiple compliance dates. Track costs per property, compare spend across your portfolio, and never miss a gas safety or EICR renewal.
Multi-car households
Each car has its own MOT date, insurance renewal, and tax deadline. They never align. We track them all and surface the next one due — alongside your total vehicle running costs.
Renters
You still have contents insurance, utility contracts, subscriptions, and tenancy renewals to manage. Track what you pay, spot where you can save, and stay on top of every renewal date.

FAQ
Questions we hear often.
It gives you a single view of every recurring household cost — bills, subscriptions, insurance, utilities, housing. When you can see the total each month, unused services and creeping price rises become obvious. Timely reminders give you a window to switch or cancel before auto-renewals lock you in. And when you do make a change, your spend total updates so you can see the difference.
You enter your tariff details — unit rate, standing charge, supplier, contract end date. H.A.B.I.B.I compares your electricity rate against a public Octopus benchmark (a single-supplier reference, not whole-of-market). If your rate sits above the benchmark, you get a savings signal. Gas, water, and council tax insights are expanding. Community anonymised comparisons are planned — opt-in aggregates only, no identifiable neighbours.
For most households, one cancelled subscription or one energy tariff review saves more than a year of Pro. The ROI section above shows illustrative maths: a typical household can avoid £500–1,500+ in leaks annually. One found subscription or one energy review can cover a year of Pro. Everything else is upside.
No. H.A.B.I.B.I does not use open banking or scrape your transactions. You enter the data you want to track. This is a privacy advantage — your financial data stays with you, not with a third-party data aggregator.
No. A reminders app can only tell you what you already told it. H.A.B.I.B.I proactively surfaces things you might not have thought to track — MOT expiry from DVLA data, bin day from your council’s collection pattern, insurance renewal windows. It also tracks your full household spend across bills, utilities, and housing — something no reminders app does.
Enter a UK registration number and we pull the vehicle’s make, model, year, tax status, and MOT expiry directly from DVLA records. No manual data entry for the basics. We then track upcoming renewals and alert you before they expire.
Yes. While some features (like bin schedules and council data) are property-specific, renters can still track contents insurance, utility contracts, broadband and streaming bills, vehicle compliance, and personal reminders. You can also track your total monthly spend — just like a homeowner.
Yes. Multi-property support is built in. Each property gets its own local context — council, bin schedules, weather, and reminders — and its own spend picture. Landlords can compare costs across properties and manage compliance dates from one account.
We use JWT-based authentication with short-lived access tokens, bcrypt-hashed passwords, parameterised database queries via Prisma, and strict input validation on all endpoints. Your household data is never sold, shared, or used for advertising. Full stop.
