Import your Apple subscriptions from one screenshot. No typing, no bank login. Track every recurring bill, get renewal alerts, and follow step-by-step cancel guides. Americans spend an average of $219/month on subscriptions — and most don't realize it. Free trials auto-renew. Annual plans sneak up. Small monthly charges add up to thousands per year. SubTracker makes every dollar visible — without asking for your bank password. SCREENSHOT IMPORT Take a photo of your Apple Subscriptions screen (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). SubTracker's on-device OCR identifies each service, price, and renewal date in under 60 seconds. No typing. No accounts. Nothing leaves your phone. NO BANK LOGIN SubTracker never asks for your bank password or transaction history. Everything stays on your device, with optional iCloud sync between your iPhone and iPad. TRACK EVERY SUBSCRIPTION TYPE Monthly, annual, weekly, free trials, lifetime purchases. SubTracker handles them all with custom billing cycles. Track Netflix, Spotify, iCloud, gym memberships, streaming services, software licenses, Patreon, hosting, and every other recurring payment in one clean dashboard. SMART REMINDERS Get notified before a free trial expires or an annual renewal hits. You choose when and how often SubTracker alerts you. Catch the $99 annual auto-renewal before it charges, not after. SPENDING BREAKDOWN See your total monthly and annual spend at a glance. Drill into categories to identify subscriptions you forgot you had — and cancel what you don't need. Total Spent shows what each subscription has really cost you so far, and price changes keep their history: past months stay at the price you actually paid. RENEWAL CALENDAR A built-in calendar shows every upcoming payment so nothing arrives unannounced. Tap any day to see exactly what renews on it. START IN SECONDS Choose from 600+ ready-made service templates — Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium, Adobe, iCloud, gym memberships and more — or import your Apple subscriptions directly. Adding a subscription takes a couple of taps. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Group by category and sort by price, renewal date, or name. Export to CSV any time, and use full backup and restore to keep your data safe. CANCEL WITH CONFIDENCE Built-in cancel flows with step-by-step instructions for the most common services, pre-written email templates for support requests, and an Evidence Vault to store screenshots and emails as proof of cancellation. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No tracking SDKs. No advertising IDs. iCloud sync uses Apple's end-to-end encryption. We can never see your subscription data — by design.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SubTracker at 2.2 against SubCaddy's 1.0. SubTracker also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). SubCaddy's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SubTracker holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubTracker has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SubTracker's written reviews are positive against 33% of SubCaddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SubTracker ships an update every 9 days, SubCaddy weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
