Subscriptions are built from charges, not from invoices alone. After Plaid, Xero → ClearSpend, or a statement brings spend in, ClearSpend groups recurring vendors.Gmail, Drive, Slack, WhatsApp, and invoice uploads add proof. They do not add subscriptions on their own.If a vendor is still missing after charges land, check Transactions or upload a statement that includes that charge.
