Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cancely at freemium against Subpilot's subscription. Cancely also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Subpilot's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 12) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subpilot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Cancely sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
