Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Polar at none against Subscription Manager's 4. Polar also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Subscription Manager's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (115 vs 15). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Polar asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Subscription Manager against 4.7 for Polar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 115 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Subscription Manager's written reviews are positive against 75% of Polar's.
Subscription Manager ships an update weekly, Polar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
