How much are you really spending on subscriptions each month? Almost always more than you think: between streaming, apps, the gym and that one service you forgot to cancel months ago. Snipp brings it all into order. In seconds you add your subscriptions (it recognizes the most popular services automatically) and instantly see what they really cost you, per month and per year, all converted into your currency. No more surprise renewals: Snipp reminds you before you get charged, so you're the one who decides whether to keep or cancel. Your data stays yours: it lives on your iPhone and syncs privately through iCloud, with no account to create and no personal details to hand over. Oh, and Snipp is a one-time purchase. Because the app that helps you keep an eye on your subscriptions really shouldn't be… yet another subscription. Download Snipp and find out where your money is really going. Snipp is an independent app for managing your subscriptions and is not affiliated with, associated with, or endorsed by any third-party service. All names, trademarks, and logos mentioned are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only, to help you recognize the subscriptions you already have.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Snipp at 5.0 against Control's 4.0. Snipp also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Control's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Control ships an update every 3 days, Snipp fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
