Verdict

The call

Bobby and Subscription Tracker both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Subscription Tracker's written reviews are positive against 56% of Bobby's. Subscription Tracker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Bobby's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 255). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
