# Luna vs Subscription Manager

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Subscription Manager at 133 against Luna's 20. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Luna sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Subscription Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Luna against 4.7 for Subscription Manager. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 133 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Luna's written reviews are positive against 81% of Subscription Manager's.

Luna ships an update every 5 days, Subscription Manager every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
