Read full description

Sublet helps you keep track of your subscriptions without connecting your bank. Log your services in a clear wallet and see how much you pay and when each plan renews. Get reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before every charge, plus reminders for free trials. Convert amounts to your currency with today's rate and find out how much you could save. If you split the cost of a plan with other people, note how much each person owes and who has already paid their share. Sublet only keeps the tally: it doesn't move money, doesn't ask for passwords and doesn't give access to any service. Your data stays on your phone: no bank permissions, no ads and no automatic renewals. Start for free and unlock unlimited subscriptions, screenshot import and backup with a one-time payment.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sublet at daily against Control's every 3 days. Sublet also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Control's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
