LemSubs vs Bobby

Beautiful iOS subscription tracker, but limited to one platform with no analytics

Bobby is one of the most beautifully designed subscription trackers on iOS, with a 4.7-star rating and 7.9K+ reviews on the App Store. It focuses on doing one thing well: giving you a clean, visual list of your subscriptions with monthly and yearly totals.

Bobby does include bill due date notifications, custom icons, and currency support. However, Bobby is iOS-only with no web version, meaning you can't check your subscriptions from a computer. It also lacks any analytics — no spend trends, no category breakdowns, no optimization suggestions.

Bobby recently moved from a one-time $1.99 purchase to a free model with in-app purchases. For iPhone users who want a gorgeous, minimal subscription list, Bobby is excellent. For users who want cross-platform access, spend analytics, overlap detection, and cancel guides, LemSubs is the more complete tool.

LemSubs — Subscription Tracker Without Bank Login

LemSubs is a privacy-first subscription tracker. Track every recurring charge, lifetime deal, and renewal in one place — no bank connection, no Plaid, no credentials. Free for individuals.

Built by Deepak Shukla after losing $47,000+ to forgotten renewals and zombie subscriptions across six businesses. Used by founders, freelancers, and small teams who want to know what they're actually paying for without handing a third party read access to their bank accounts.

What LemSubs does

Why no bank connection

Every other tracker on the market — Rocket Money, Mint, Bobby, Trim — asks for your bank credentials through Plaid. LemSubs does not. You add subscriptions manually, forward a receipt, or import a CSV. Your bank stays your bank.
