Can you say what your subscriptions cost you this month? Streaming, music, cloud storage, AI tools, games. Each one is only a few dollars, which is exactly why they pile up unnoticed until they are a real part of your monthly spending. SubTracker puts the total and the next renewal date on one screen. ■ Add a subscription in seconds Twenty-five services come built in, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Spotify, Apple Music, iCloud+, Microsoft 365, ChatGPT and Amazon Prime. Pick your plan and the price and billing cycle fill themselves in, so you never have to open a pricing page. Fifty-eight plans are covered. You can also enter anything by hand. ■ Monthly and yearly totals at once Mix weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions freely. SubTracker converts everything into both a monthly and a yearly total, so an annual plan stops hiding what it really costs you per month. ■ A reminder before every renewal Get notified before the next charge lands. Choose same day, 1 day, 3 days or 1 week ahead. Once a renewal date passes, it rolls forward to the next cycle on its own, so there is nothing to edit. ■ Never get caught by a free trial Mark a subscription as a trial and you will hear about it one week before and again the day before it ends. When the trial finishes, it switches to a normal subscription and joins your totals automatically. No more "I thought that was still free." ■ See where the money goes A donut chart breaks spending down by category, a bar chart ranks your services by monthly cost, and a monthly chart shows how the total moves over time. Six categories are built in — Entertainment, Work, Living, Learning, Games and Other — and you can add your own. ■ A list you can actually navigate Search by service name and sort by name, amount, renewal date or the order you added things. Pick from 43 icons and 12 colors so you can spot a subscription at a glance. ■ Everything stays on your device No account, no sign-in. What you enter is stored on your device and is never sent to a server. The app makes no network requests other than serving ads. ■ Features ・25 preset services covering 58 plans ・Weekly, monthly and yearly billing, converted automatically ・Monthly and yearly totals ・Renewal reminders (same day / 1 day / 3 days / 1 week, at 9:00 AM) ・Free trial alerts one week and one day before the end ・Renewal dates roll forward automatically ・Category donut chart, per-service bar chart, monthly trend ・Six built-in categories plus your own ・Search by name, five sort orders ・43 icons and 12 colors ・Notes on any subscription ・Light, dark and system themes ・English and Japanese You cannot cut a cost you have not measured.

Subscriptions and recurring plans are increasing year by year. Video, music, cloud storage, AI, apps, learning, shopping, mobile services, and more. Before you know it, you may be subscribed to many different services every month. Subscriptions are a very convenient way to use services that would otherwise be expensive at a more affordable price. At the same time, it is easy to lose track of things: “When does this renew?”, “I forgot when the free trial ends,” or “I no longer use this, but forgot to cancel.” SubscriptionAce was created from the developer’s own experience to be the easiest and most enjoyable subscription management app ever. ■ One of Largest Subscription Databases Use templates for popular services and apps to quickly enter service names, prices, billing intervals, and more. You can also manually add services that are not yet in the template database, and even suggest them for future inclusion. ■ Intuitive and Easy Subscription Management Your registered subscriptions are displayed as easy-to-read cards. Manage renewal dates, prices, plans, free trials, ratings, notes, and more in one place. Swipe right to edit or open the service website, and swipe left to end or delete a subscription. Simple and intuitive. ■ “Pulsing” Alerts as Renewal Dates Approach Subscriptions nearing their renewal date are shown with intuitive colors and pulsing motion. In addition to blue, yellow, and red urgency colors, a heartbeat-like pulse gently tells you, “It may be time to check this.” ■ Check Past and Future Payments in the Calendar The calendar screen lets you review past payment records and upcoming billing schedules by month. You can see at a glance when each subscription is scheduled to be charged. ■ Rate Importance and Review More Easily You can rate the importance of each subscription with stars. This makes it easier to organize which services you truly want to keep and which ones may be worth reviewing. ■ Analysis Features That Make It Easy to Ask AI Based on your current subscription status, SubscriptionAce organizes useful information for reviewing and deciding what to continue. You can also ask your favorite AI app, such as ChatGPT or Gemini, for advice. Subscriptions can make everyday life more convenient and enjoyable. SubscriptionAce helps you comfortably continue the subscriptions you need, while properly reviewing the ones you no longer use. Make your subscription life clearer and more enjoyable.
