🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A price-tracking and alert browser extension that notifies users of subscription cost changes before renewal dates.
  2. A marketplace platform that compares features and pricing of health and fitness apps to help users find budget-friendly alternatives.
  3. A subscription management tool that allows users to set 'maximum price' thresholds and automatically cancels services that exceed them.
