Your bank knows what you pay for every month. You probably don't. Bade reads your bank statement and finds the charges that come back — the streaming service you stopped watching, the trial that quietly became a subscription, the thing that went up in price without telling you. Everything happens on your phone. Your statement is read in memory and never stored, never uploaded, never sent anywhere. Bade has no account to sign into and never asks for your bank password. The only thing Bade ever sends is a date, to ask the National Bank for an exchange rate. WHAT IT FINDS • Recurring charges, how often they land and how much • Price changes, including trials that turned into subscriptions • What each subscription actually costs you over a year • What is charging next, and when BADE PRO One payment, once. No subscription — an app that charges a subscription to track subscriptions is a punchline. Pro adds renewal reminders up to three days before a charge lands, a calendar of what is due, the rate your bank really used next to the card network's whenever a charge is converted, export to CSV or JSON, and a home screen widget. Reads statements from Bank of Georgia and TBC. Bade is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any bank. A bank can change its export format without warning. If a statement will not read, get in touch and it gets fixed.

Verdict

The call

Kobo and Bade are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
