You type your subscriptions in. QuietSub does the rest: a reminder before every renewal, your real monthly and yearly total, and a warning before a free trial starts charging you. No bank login. No email scanning. Nothing to connect. WHAT'S FREE - Unlimited subscriptions. No cap, no "upgrade to add one more." - A reminder 3 days before every renewal, with the price and the billing cycle in it - Monthly and yearly totals that update as you edit - Categories, a category breakdown chart, and your most expensive subscription ranked - Monthly, yearly, weekly and custom billing cycles - One-tap cancel links for 29 popular services, straight to that service's own cancellation page - This month in the renewals calendar PREMIUM ADDS THE PAST AND THE FUTURE - Trial Guard: mark a subscription as a free trial with the date it starts charging. The reminder then names the amount you're about to pay, not just the date. - Custom reminder timing: 1 day ahead, 7 days ahead, whatever suits you, instead of the standard 3 - Spending trend: six months of real spend, rebuilt from the price changes you recorded - CSV export of everything you've entered - The full calendar, past and future months, not only this one Premium is $2.99 per month, $11.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or $24.99 once and forever. WHY MANUAL IS THE POINT Most subscription apps want your bank login before they show you a single number. QuietSub never asks. A subscription takes about ten seconds to add — name, price, billing cycle, renewal date — and that's the whole setup. There's no bank connection to break, no read-only access to revoke, and no account aggregator sitting in the middle of your money. There are no ads in QuietSub. Not in the free version, not anywhere. Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. You can manage or turn off renewal in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: QuietSub at none against Budget's shown. QuietSub also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Budget's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
