# XpenseTracker vs Subscription Tracker

The clearest difference is price: Subscription Tracker at Free against XpenseTracker's $4.99. Subscription Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). XpenseTracker's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 3) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Subscription Tracker is free to download; XpenseTracker costs $4.99 up front. XpenseTracker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Subscription Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscription Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XpenseTracker has 4.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of XpenseTracker's written reviews are positive against 67% of Subscription Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

XpenseTracker ships an update monthly, Subscription Tracker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
