# Subscription Manager vs Subscription Tracker

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Subscription Tracker at 100% against Subscription Manager's 52%. Subscription Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Subscription Manager's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Subscription Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscription Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Subscription Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Subscription Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subscription Manager ships an update every 2 weeks, Subscription Tracker every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
