Data last updated 2026-08-13. Checked by the LemSubs research team.
Subly's main view is a calendar, not a list, and that single design choice makes a real difference. You see exactly when each subscription will hit your card across the next month or quarter, which is the question most people are actually asking when they open a tracker.
The app supports multiple currencies, polite renewal notifications, basic category breakdowns, and a free tier that covers a handful of subscriptions. Pro tiers unlock more subs, more reminders, and a couple of light analytics views.
The mobile apps are well-rated and feel modern. The trade-offs are scope. Subly tracks subscriptions but does not model insurance, leases, household splits, or per-seat SaaS — so anyone whose financial life sprawls beyond pure subscriptions will outgrow it.
There is no overlap detection, no annual-vs-monthly arbitrage detection, and no refund-window tracking. The Pro pricing is friendly but the free tier is fairly tight — most users will hit the cap inside a month if they actually try to use it as their main tracker.
For mobile-first users who specifically want "a calendar of my recurring charges," Subly is one of the cleanest options. For anyone wanting active intelligence, it is one tier of product behind.

Frequently asked questions
Does Subly need access to my bank?
No. Subly is a manual-entry tracker — your bank credentials never leave your device.
Is the free tier enough?
Only if you have a small handful of subscriptions. Most active users hit the cap inside a month and need Pro.
How does Subly compare to LemSubs?
Subly nails the calendar; LemSubs covers the same calendar plus an 18-rule insight engine, household splits, refund-window alerts, insurance/lease tracking, and a more generous free tier.
