PocketWise stores everything on your device. There is no PocketWise cloud holding your financial data. If you sync between devices, it goes through your own private cloud storage account, not ours. What you can do: - Track every subscription: streaming, software, memberships, apps, and anything else that bills on repeat. - See the real total: your monthly and yearly spend, broken down by category. - Know what's coming: see upcoming renewals before they hit your account. - Find the ones you forgot: link your bank to automatically detect recurring charges you didn't know you were still paying. - Sync privately: keep your devices in step through your own cloud storage. 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.

Verdict
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.
