Paste your cable bill. We'll find the junk.

Cable bills hide $20–$60 a month in line-item fees that look like taxes but aren't. Paste your latest Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, Cox, or AT&T bill and we'll show you exactly what shouldn't be there.

Private: the audit runs in your browser. Your bill text never touches our servers.

1. Paste your bill

Open your latest bill on your computer or phone, select the line-item section, copy, and paste below. Don't include credit card numbers or your name — just the service lines.

What we flag (and why)

Broadcast TV Fee — $9.95 to $25.45/mo
A line item cable companies invented to charge you for retransmitting ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX — the same broadcast networks anyone can pick up free over the air. It didn't exist 10 years ago. Comcast charges $19.45/mo. Spectrum $25.45. Pure markup.
Regional Sports Fee — $11.99 to $15/mo
A second line item charging you on top of your tier price to cover the regional sports network the tier was already advertised to include. Cable companies use this to keep advertised prices low while quietly raising the real bill.
HD Technology Fee — $5 to $10/mo
Every TV sold since 2007 has been HD. There is no special HD technology your cable company is providing. This fee should not exist.
Set-top Box / Cable Box Rental — $8 to $15/mo per box
A $40 Roku stick (one-time) replaces this for every TV in the house. Most cable companies now offer a streaming app (Xfinity Stream, Fios TV App, Spectrum TV App) that runs on Roku — so you can keep your service but skip the rental.
DVR / Cloud DVR Service Fee — $5 to $25/mo
YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV include unlimited cloud DVR free. Cable charging $20/mo for the same thing in 2026 is hard to justify.
Wi-Fi Service / Network Access Fee — $5 to $15/mo
If you're already paying for internet, you don't owe extra to USE the internet. Comcast's "xFi Complete" and Spectrum's "Advanced Wi-Fi" are both upsells on top of an existing internet bill. Buy your own router for ~$120 once and never pay this again.

Questions people actually ask

Real questions from real readers — and direct answers from 22 years of install experience.

Which of my current apps overlap content-wise?

Common overlaps we catch:

• Hulu (on-demand) + Hulu+Live = paying for Hulu twice — drop the standalone

• Disney+ + Hulu + ESPN+ standalone = upgrade to the Disney Bundle, save $12/mo

• Paramount+ + Showtime — they merged, you only need Paramount+ with Showtime

• Max + Discovery+ — Discovery+ content is in Max, drop Discovery+

• Apple TV+ + Apple Music + iCloud = should be Apple One

• NFL+ + Sunday Ticket = Sunday Ticket already includes NFL+

The audit tool flags every overlap automatically.

Am I really saving anything if I add up all the streaming apps vs my $300/mo cable bill?

Average household lands at $95-140/mo after switching from a $250-300 cable bundle, even when adding 4-5 apps. The math that matters: cable's $250 includes $40-60 of fees you don't see on streaming. Streaming's biggest leak is paying for apps you forgot about — that's what this audit catches. If your stack is over $180/mo, something's wrong. Run the audit, we'll find it.
