Subvanta finds your subscriptions for you: pick a screenshot of your subscriptions page and it reads every service, price and renewal date at once β€” or scan a bill, paste a receipt or import a bank statement. Everything is read on your iPhone and waits until you tap Add. Then see what your subscriptions actually cost β€” for the year, by category and per service β€” without an account or access to your bank. LET SUBVANTA FIND THEM β€’ Share receipts, PDFs and screenshots to Subvanta from Mail, Files or Photos β€’ Optional Shortcuts actions check bank texts, receipt emails and Apple Pay payments as they arrive β€’ Already in your list? Replace it with the new price and dates, or skip it SEE THE REAL NUMBER β€’ One yearly total across everything you track β€’ Split into what you have paid so far this year and what is still to come β€’ A breakdown by category with each one's share of the total β€’ Tap any category to see the subscriptions inside it, priced per month or per year β€’ A spending trend chart month by month INSIGHTS THAT LOOK AHEAD β€’ What is actually due each month for the next year, so an annual renewal never arrives as a surprise β€’ Which month is heaviest, and how many charges land in it β€’ Where the money goes, by category share β€’ Your biggest costs ranked by yearly price, so monthly and annual plans compare fairly β€’ Price changes, so you can see what has quietly gone up, and by how much β€’ Free trials counting down to the day they start charging WHAT CANCELLING SAVED YOU Archive a subscription instead of deleting it and Subvanta keeps counting β€” what that cancellation has saved you since the day you stopped paying, and what it goes on saving every year. NEVER BE SURPRISED BY A RENEWAL β€’ A reminder before each renewal, and before a free trial converts β€’ Choose how many days of warning you want β€’ Set a monthly budget and get told when you go over it LOCKED IF YOU WANT IT Keep Subvanta behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Off by default, and only if your device can unlock it. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY USE IT β€’ Custom categories with your own name, colour and icon β€’ Archive the ones you cancelled instead of deleting them β€’ Keep the account username and service link for each subscription, and open it in one tap β€’ Long-press any subscription for edit, archive, delete and alternatives β€’ Ask Siri for your monthly total β€’ Export everything to CSV as a backup, and restore from it later TRACK IN ANY CURRENCY Mixing dollars, euros and pounds still gives you one combined total in the currency you choose. WIDGETS Put your next charges on the home screen, in three sizes β€” and on the Lock Screen, so the next renewal sits under the clock. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Turn on iCloud sync and your subscriptions appear on iPhone and iPad together. Off by default, into your own iCloud β€” Subvanta still has no server and no account of its own. IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers both, with a layout made for the larger screen. THIRTEEN LANGUAGES English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Russian, Hindi, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean β€” with full right-to-left layout for Arabic. Switch language inside the app, instantly. PRIVACY IS THE POINT β€’ No account, no sign-up, no password β€’ No connection to your bank or card β€’ No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party SDKs β€’ Your subscriptions never leave your device unless you switch on iCloud sync β€” and then they go to your iCloud, never to us Subvanta makes three kinds of network request, none carrying your data: a public exchange-rate table so it can combine currencies, a daily check with the App Store for a newer version (you can switch it off), and β€” only if you switch it on β€” a service's icon from that service's own site. FREE AND PRO Track up to 5 subscriptions free, with every feature included. Subvanta Pro is a single one-time purchase that removes the limit forever. No subscription to a subscription tracker.
