Small Print is a free Android app that says it warns users when a checkout page includes a recurring charge.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Android users wary of trial-to-subscription charges
Worth noticing: The site says the app has no internet permission and stores only the names of sites it has warned about.

Field notes

The download is presented as free, under 1 MB, and compatible with Android 8 or newer. Because the app is not yet on Google Play, the site supplies a screen-by-screen install guide; it also offers a safe test page and instructions for setting it up on someone else's phone. Its privacy explanation says the app has no internet permission and remembers only the names of sites it has warned about.
