Verdict

The call

Bobby and Subscription Manager both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Subscription Manager's written reviews are positive against 56% of Bobby's. Subscription Manager also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Bobby's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 115) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
