The slow kind
A rise you would argue about in a shop goes through unnoticed online
Put the same increase on a shelf label and you would notice. Spread across twelve separate charges on different days, it disappears.

Rises arrive politely. An e-mail, usually in a quiet month, explaining that the price is changing from the next billing period. Nothing is required of you, so nothing gets done, and the new amount starts arriving in a statement line you have long stopped reading.
Where a rise becomes visible
Not on the statement — there the charge still looks like every other charge. It becomes visible in two places only: next to the other things you pay for, and multiplied by twelve.
What the list gives you
- Lists every recurring charge it finds, with the service, price and billing cycle
- Adds up what the list costs you per month and per year
Be clear about what this is and is not. NoBill shows what each service is charging you now, not a history of what it used to charge. There is no price-tracking graph. What it gives you is the current number, broken down and totalled, which is enough to notice that it is larger than you assumed.
Comparing two moments
If you want a before and after, the practical method is to scan now and scan again in six months. The second list is the comparison, and the yearly figure under it is the part that tends to prompt action.
