Most people are surprised when they add up their subscriptions. Netflix, Spotify, iCloud, the gym, Duolingo, and that app you signed up for months ago can quietly cost more than you think. Keel gives you one private place to see what's active, what it costs, and what renews next. Add any subscription manually, or search popular services to prefill the name, plan, logo and local price where available. You can also scan a receipt, bill or screenshot, or import a PDF, CSV or Excel bank statement to spot recurring payments you may have missed. Stay ahead of renewals with flexible reminders, Apple Calendar sync and a Home Screen widget. Calendar events stay aligned when a renewal date or billing schedule changes. Understand your spending with monthly and annual totals, multi-currency conversion, breakdowns by category, list and payment method, monthly budgets, and a year-in-review summary. Price Watch highlights verified catalog increases and can apply a new price in one tap. Keel can also suggest annual plans and show a saving when verified pricing is available. Your subscription data is stored locally on your device. No account or sign-in is required. When you use scanning or AI subscription reviews, the content needed for processing is sent to our server and AI service provider. Keel is free for up to five active subscriptions. Keel Plus is a one-time purchase that removes the limit and unlocks custom lists, advanced analytics, monthly budgets, budget alerts and AI subscription reviews.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Subscription Tracker at none against SubAlert's shown. Subscription Tracker also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SubAlert's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
