Key Differences

  • Import and automation: Subby is manual-only with flexible billing schedules. ReSubs adds CSV import, Gmail import, and AI extraction from screenshots — four more ways to get data in.
  • Lifecycle management: ReSubs tracks subscription states (active, paused, cancelled, trial) with trial-to-paid reminders and 30+ cancel guides. Subby provides payment alerts but no state tracking or cancellation help.
  • Ad model: Subby's free tier is ad-supported. ReSubs has no ads on any tier.

Price

Subby is free with ads or $2.99 one-time to remove them — one of the cheapest trackers available. ReSubs offers a free tier with no ads; Premium unlocks unlimited subscriptions with AI extraction, Gmail import, and multi-currency. Subby wins on cost; ReSubs Premium includes features Subby does not offer at any price.

Verdict

Choose Subby if you want the simplest, cheapest subscription tracker available on both platforms. You add your subscriptions, you get reminders, and that is it. The $2.99 one-time price is hard to beat.

Choose ReSubs if you want multi-currency support, CSV and Gmail import, AI extraction, trial reminders, lifecycle tracking, cancel guides, or home screen widgets. It costs more, but it covers use cases Subby was not designed for. If you track more than a handful of subscriptions or pay for services in multiple currencies, the extra depth pays for itself.
