# Bobby vs Subscription Tracker

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.

Both are free to download. Bobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Subscription Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Bobby against 4.6 for Subscription Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bobby has 8K ratings behind it against 255, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Bobby's written reviews are positive against 81% of Subscription Tracker's.

Bobby ships an update every 2 months, Subscription Tracker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
