Suprascribe vs. Subby
Lightweight mobile-only tracker, manual entry only
Subby is a lightweight, ad-supported subscription tracker with a genuinely unlimited free tier. It is honest and straightforward. The downside is that it is entirely manual - you enter every subscription yourself - and it only works as a mobile app. Suprascribe covers the same use case with two key advantages: it automatically finds subscriptions by scanning your email, and it runs in any browser without an app install.

What Subby Does Well
Subby is one of the most honest free trackers available. The interface is simple and uncluttered, the unlimited free tier is genuinely unlimited rather than a teaser, and the small one-time purchase to remove ads is priced fairly. It is a great fit for anyone who wants full manual control over their subscription list without signing up for yet another recurring service. For a lightweight, no-surprises mobile tracker, Subby does exactly what it promises.
Where Suprascribe Beats Subby
- Email auto-discovery - Subby requires you to enter every subscription manually; Suprascribe finds them for you
- Web-first - No app install needed - works in any browser on any device
- No ads - Suprascribe's free tier is ad-free; Subby's free version is ad-supported
- Open source - Inspect the code and trust what you see
Subby is honest and cheap, but fully manual. Suprascribe automates the tedious part - finding the subscriptions in the first place.
