# Subsee vs Recur

The clearest difference is rating: Recur at 5.0 against Subsee's 4.4. Recur also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Subsee's advantage is ratings volume (117 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subsee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and Recur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recur holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subsee has 117 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Subsee's written reviews are positive against 57% of Recur's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subsee ships an update monthly, Recur weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
