I always try to buy subscriptions with PayPal for this reason. Because buried in their UI you can go turn off the automatic payments to that payee. They usually cancel the subscription themselves if you stop paying them.

Privacy.com is what I use. It lets you generate virtual cards to use so you don't need to hand over your actual debit card. You can also set a maximum per day/month/transaction.

Capital One does this with a browser extension. It’s great. I can use a temp card for a one month sub, and then just delete the card.
