Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Receipt at 100% against Subscription Manager's 52%. Receipt also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Subscription Manager's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Receipt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Receipt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 1.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of Subscription Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Receipt's.
