CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Subscriptions sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Subscriptions sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Subscriptions holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 64 and 169 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Subscriptions's written reviews are positive against 87% of Subscriptions's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Subscriptions ships an update every 5 weeks, Subscriptions every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
