# Subscription Manager vs SyncSpend

The clearest difference is rating: Subscription Manager at 4.7 against SyncSpend's 3.4. Subscription Manager also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 61%) and ratings volume (127 vs 7). SyncSpend's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and SyncSpend sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
