# Stack vs Subscription Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: Subscription Tracker at 4.8 against Stack's 3.7. Subscription Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (173 vs 3). Stack's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Subscription Tracker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscription Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Tracker has 173 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Stack's written reviews are positive against 80% of Subscription Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stack ships an update monthly, Subscription Tracker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
