# Bobby vs Subscription Stopper & Manager

The clearest difference is ads: Bobby at none against Subscription Stopper & Manager's shown. Bobby also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (8K vs 618). Subscription Stopper & Manager's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 56%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Subscription Stopper & Manager sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bobby holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bobby has 8K ratings behind it against 618, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bobby's written reviews are positive against 87% of Subscription Stopper & Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bobby ships an update every 2 months, Subscription Stopper & Manager every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
