Apps offer some kind of subscription to access extra features or access the full version of an app. From apps like Netflix and Spotify, you can unlock extra functionalities at a monthly fee. However, it can be hard to keep track of all the subscriptions and probably end up paying for services that you stopped using. But there is a solution to it. You can easily manage your subscriptions on the Google Play Store.
