Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Assure at daily against SubManager's every 8 days. Assure also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.4). SubManager's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 8) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Assure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SubManager sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
