# Subscription Manager vs Cancely

The clearest difference is rating: Subscription Manager at 4.8 against Cancely's 4.6. Subscription Manager also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 11) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Cancely's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subscription Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month 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.

Subscription Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscription Manager has 126 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Subscription Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cancely's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subscription Manager ships an update every 9 days, Cancely every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
