Track them, see what's coming, and cancel what you no longer use. WHY PAYDAR • No ads, ever - nothing between you and your numbers • Private by design - no account, no sign-up. Your data stays on your device, with an automatic backup to your own private iCloud • See the real cost - monthly, yearly and daily totals, one tap apart FEATURES • Radar - every charge in the next 30 days at a glance • Renewal reminders - a heads-up days before you're charged, at a time you choose • Mark as paid - log each payment and keep a history of what you spent • Free-trial tracking - never get surprise-charged when a trial ends • 150+ currencies with live exchange rates - perfect for subscriptions billed abroad • Flexible billing cycles - weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or a custom "every N days/weeks/months" • How to cancel - step-by-step cancellation guides for popular services • Payment methods - see which card or account pays for what • Widgets - your next renewal on the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Spending stats - monthly trends and a breakdown by category • Backup & export - automatic iCloud backup, plus CSV export and JSON backups DESIGNED TO BE CALM A dark, quiet interface that makes keeping an eye on your money feel effortless.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Recura at none against Paydar's shown. Paydar's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
