Simple pricing: - Free: track your subscriptions manually. - Lifetime: pay once and keep PocketWise forever. No subscription required to track your subscriptions. - Subscription: adds automatic bank-linked detection. Bank connections carry an ongoing cost, so this is the only tier that renews.

The clearest difference is ads: Go PocketWise at none against NFC's shown. Go PocketWise also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
