The real reason

Why People Choose Clawback Over Trim

🎯

Trim only does one thing

Trim negotiates your cable, internet, and phone bills. That's it. It won't dispute a fraudulent charge, cancel a forgotten subscription, or pursue a refund you're owed. Clawback covers all of it.

🤖

True autonomy vs semi-automated

Clawback's AI agent acts on your behalf end-to-end — contacts companies, sends letters, follows up, reports results. Trim's process involves human negotiators and requires your sign-off at key points.

💡

The fee math depends on scope

Trim's 15% looks cheaper — until you realize it only counts one category of savings. Clawback charges 25% but surfaces money across four recovery types. The total recovered is often much higher.

⚡

One activation, complete coverage

$9.99 activates Clawback across every recovery category. No tiered features, no service-by-service sign-up, no waiting for a human negotiator to pick up your case. The agent starts immediately.

Bottom line

If Trim only covers bills, you're leaving refunds, disputes, and cancellations on the table.

Clawback handles every category of money recovery — not just the easiest one. $9.99 to activate. 25% only on actual recoveries. An AI agent handles every step without you lifting a finger.

Common questions

FAQ

Clawback covers a broader range of recoveries — refunds, cancellations, disputes, and bill negotiation — while Trim focuses almost exclusively on bill negotiation. Clawback's AI agent acts fully autonomously on your behalf, whereas Trim uses a semi-automated approach that still requires some manual involvement. Both charge a percentage fee, but Clawback's scope is wider and the process is completely hands-off.
Trim charges 15% of the first year's savings on bills it negotiates lower. It's free to start with no upfront fee, but the 15% only applies to negotiation savings — it won't handle refunds, disputed charges, or subscription cancellations on your behalf.
The main difference is scope and automation. Trim focuses on bill negotiation (cable, internet, phone) and takes 15% of first-year savings. Clawback is a fully autonomous AI agent that handles refunds, cancellations, billing disputes, and bill negotiation — taking 25% of whatever it recovers. If you want one-stop autonomous money recovery, Clawback covers far more ground.
No. Trim's core service is bill negotiation — lowering recurring bills like cable, internet, and phone. It does not proactively pursue refunds on purchases or cancel subscriptions on your behalf. Clawback handles all three: refunds, cancellations, and bill disputes, entirely autonomously.
Trim has had limited availability and paused some services in recent years. The app is available in some regions but its bill negotiation service is not universally offered. Clawback is fully available and actively recovering money for users across all supported billing categories.
