Frequently asked questions
Everything about tracking your contracts, comparing providers and switching without small print. Can't find your answer? Ask us from the Profile screen.
Getting started
What is Fowlo exactly?
Fowlo is one calm overview of every recurring contract you pay for — energy, mobile, gym, grooming and more — with the end date, notice period and monthly cost in plain language.
Does Fowlo cost anything?
Managing your own subscriptions is free. Fowlo earns a fee from providers when you choose to switch through a marketplace deal, never from you.
Do I need an account to look around?
No. The Deals marketplace and the category comparison pages are public. You only log in when you want to save contracts and favourites.
Your contracts
How do I add a contract I already have?
Tap the add button on your dashboard. You can search your provider for prefilled terms, type the details manually, or upload a contract or invoice and let Fowlo read the key fields for you.
What happens with an uploaded contract file?
It is read once to extract provider, price, start date and notice period. You always review and confirm the result before it is saved to your overview.
Why do minimum term and notice period matter so much?
They decide when switching is actually possible. Fowlo shows both per contract so you never discover a two-month notice period one week too late.
Can I edit or remove a contract later?
Yes. Open the subscription from your dashboard to update the price or status, renew the deal, or cancel it from the detail page.
Deals and switching
How does Fowlo pick alternative providers?
Alternatives always stay inside the same service category. An energy contract is only ever compared with other energy providers, a gym with other gyms.
How is my saving calculated?
We compare the monthly price of the alternative with the monthly price of your current contract in that category, then show the yearly difference.
What does 'best overall' mean?
A score that weighs rating, price and savings against your current plan, so the cheapest option is not automatically the recommended one.
What happens when I subscribe to a deal?
In this preview the subscription is added to your overview instantly. In production the provider receives your request and confirms the start date.
Account, language and data
Can I use Fowlo in Dutch?
Yes. Open the hamburger menu and switch between EN and NL at the bottom; the whole public site follows immediately.
How do I switch to dark mode?
Use the theme toggle in the top bar or on your Profile screen. Your choice is remembered on this device.
How do I log out?
Go to Profile and use the discreet log out button at the bottom. You return to the Fowlo homepage.
What data does Fowlo store?
Only what you add: your contracts, favourites, language and theme preference. Nothing is sold, and you can clear your contracts at any time.
