Global Subscription Cost Optimizer

Problem (Pain Point):

Digital service subscriptions often have significant price variations across regions, but users can't easily access these lower prices due to payment method restrictions. This affects budget-conscious consumers who want to maintain their digital lifestyle while reducing costs.

Proposed Solution:

A subscription management platform that legally leverages regional pricing differences for digital services, handling all payment processing and account management for users.

Overview:

• Core Features:

  • Automated subscription purchase and management
  • Price comparison across regions
  • Secure payment processing
  • User dashboard for subscription tracking
  • Automated renewal management

• User Experience (UX):

  1. Users browse available services and pricing
  2. Select desired subscription
  3. Complete single payment through platform
  4. Receive access credentials
  5. Manage subscriptions through dashboard

• Benefits:

  • Significant cost savings (up to 80%)
  • Simplified subscription management
  • Single dashboard for all services
  • Automated renewal handling

• Technical Approach:

  • Payment gateway integration
  • Multi-currency processing
  • Automated account provisioning
  • Regional IP routing

Target Audience Personas:

Market Gap:

Existing solutions are often manual or require technical knowledge. No comprehensive platform exists that handles the entire process automatically while ensuring compliance.

Validation Methods:
