# Costify vs Subscription Manager

The clearest difference is ads: Subscription Manager at none against Costify's shown. Subscription Manager also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Costify's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Costify sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Subscription Manager sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subscription Manager holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Costify has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Costify ships an update fortnightly, Subscription Manager every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
