About Rasid

Last checked

Quick answer

Rasid is an iPhone app that tracks household bills and subscriptions in the UAE. It finds them in billing email from Gmail (read-only), spreadsheets, PDF statements and screenshots, or you add them by hand. It reminds you before renewals and due dates, shows price rises early, and never asks for a bank login. It's free during early access.

What Rasid does

Most people in the UAE pay for a handful of subscriptions and several bills that change every month: DEWA or SEWA, du or Etisalat (e&), a card statement or two. The only record is usually an inbox nobody reads. Rasid reads it for you, and tells you before the money goes.

  • Reminders before you pay. Three days before a renewal, a free trial's end or a bill's due date, by default. You can move a subscription's reminder to the day itself, one day before or seven.
  • Price rises, early. When a provider, Apple or Google Play emails a new price, Rasid shows the old price, the new one and the day it starts, once, before it applies.
  • UAE bills and card statements. DEWA, SEWA, TAQA Distribution (ADDC), Empower, du and Etisalat (e&) bills from their emails, and card statements from Emirates NBD, Mashreq, ADCB, FAB, ADIB, RAKBANK and HSBC UAE: total due, minimum due and payment date.
  • Like-for-like savings. The Discover tab compares what you pay with the same service's yearly plan, a smaller plan or a bundle, and with real rivals in the same category. It never suggests swapping your music app for a film app.
  • Spaces. Keep Personal, Family and Work bills apart, so a work tool stays out of the household total.

How Rasid finds your bills and subscriptions

In plain words, this is what happens when you connect Gmail:

  1. You choose to connect. Rasid asks before it reads any email, and names the AI company it uses. "Not now" sends nothing, and you can add everything by hand instead.
  2. It looks only for billing mail. Rasid's search is limited to receipts, invoices, statements and price notices.
  3. An AI model reads each bill. On Rasid's servers, Anthropic's Claude model reads each billing email and works out the amount, the currency and the dates.
  4. You confirm each one. Rasid shows what it found as a list, and nothing is tracked until you confirm it.
  5. It keeps the figures, not the email. Rasid keeps the amount, the date and the sender's domain. It never stores an email's subject or body.

No Gmail? Import a spreadsheet (.xlsx, .xls or .csv, or a Google Sheet shared by link), upload a PDF card statement, send a screenshot of a bill, or pick a service and plan by hand: choose Netflix Standard and AED 49 a month fills in.

What Rasid keeps, and what it never does

  • Read-only. Rasid's Google permission is read-only. It cannot send, change or delete a message.
  • No bank login. Rasid never asks for a bank password, card number or OTP.
  • No selling, no ads. Rasid doesn't sell data, shows no ads and has no advertising partners.
  • AI under contract. Anthropic processes billing text on Rasid's instructions and is not permitted to use it to train models.
  • Where data goes. Rasid runs on Firebase and Google Cloud, and uses Anthropic, Sentry and Expo, so your data is processed outside the UAE, including in the United States.
  • Yours to revoke and delete. Disconnect Gmail in the app or in your Google account and access stops. You can delete your account from Settings; it runs immediately.

Rasid doesn't pay bills and doesn't cancel subscriptions for you. Where a verified payment link exists, it opens the provider's own page, and each subscription shows how to cancel it with the provider. The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Where Rasid's prices come from

Every subscription price on rasid.app and in Discover is read on the provider's own page for the UAE, in the currency that page prints, and checked a second time. Prices are never converted, and each carries the date it was read. The app stops showing a price 30 days after it was read, until it is read again. See UAE subscription prices.
