Recur is the quiet ledger for everything you subscribe to. Add each service once, and Recur tells you what leaves your account this month, what renews next, and what a year of it really costs. TRACK EVERYTHING Pick from hundreds of known services or add anything custom. Sublabels tell twin subscriptions apart, categories keep them organized, and multi-currency amounts convert into your currency with honest daily rates from the European Central Bank. ADD IN SECONDS Smart Add reads screenshots, emails, and PDFs on your device and fills in the name, price, and billing cycle for you. Share a receipt to Recur from any app, or point the camera at a screen. NEVER PAY SURPRISED A renewal reminder arrives before money leaves, at the hour you choose. The rhythm strip shows the next two months at a glance; the cash flow calendar marks every renewal day with the brand itself. UNDERSTAND THE COST Reports turn your list into answers: monthly run rate, spending by category, price hikes over time, lifetime spent per service, and a Year in Review worth sharing. Plans change in real life, so Recur records upgrades, extensions, and one-time fees exactly as they billed. EVERYWHERE YOU GLANCE Widgets for the home screen, lock screen, and Control Center. An Apple Watch app for your wrist. Spotlight search and Shortcuts support built in. YOURS, PRIVATELY No account. No ads. No tracking. Your data lives on your device and in your private iCloud, syncs across your devices, and exports to CSV or JSON whenever you want. ONE PRICE, FOREVER Recur is free to use. The Full Version is a single one-time purchase that unlocks Smart Add, reports and insights, cancellation shortcuts, and alternate icons. No subscription. That would be ironic.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Recur sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MySub sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Recur holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Recur's written reviews are positive against 67% of MySub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Recur ships an update every 3 weeks, MySub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
