# SubTracker vs Subtle

The clearest difference is rating: Subtle at 5.0 against SubTracker's 2.2. SubTracker's advantage is review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SubTracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Subtle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subtle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SubTracker's written reviews are positive against 0% of Subtle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SubTracker ships an update every 9 days, Subtle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
