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.
