**Emma.** Emma tracks subscriptions, bills and budgets for UK users through Open Banking, with a free plan and public prices for paid tiers, and iOS releases about every week. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call. No status page or security contact was found, and the terms forbid bots and scrapers.

**Snoop.** Snoop is a free UK app that tracks bills, subscriptions and spending through Open Banking, with a status page, a disclosure policy and named processors with data locations. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call; the only route offered is a partnerships email for commercial and data partnerships.
