Bobby is a popular mobile app for tracking subscriptions. It has a clean interface, supports multiple currencies, and works without a bank connection. It has been a favorite among iOS and Android users for years.

Subvisory shares many of the same privacy principles but goes further with web access, team features, an API, and more. Here is how they compare.

Web vs mobile

The biggest difference is platform. Bobby is mobile-only (iOS and Android). Subvisory is a web app that works on any device with a browser, including desktop, tablet, and mobile.

If you primarily manage subscriptions from your phone and want a native app experience, Bobby has the edge. If you want to manage subscriptions from your computer (especially for work), Subvisory is the better fit.

What Bobby does well

Bobby is simple and focused. It has a beautiful mobile UI, supports custom icons and colors, and is great for personal use. The one-time purchase pricing model (for the premium version) is appealing if you dislike recurring fees.

What Subvisory adds

  • Free trial tracking (Pro+): set trial start and end dates, get reminders before you get charged.
  • Team workspaces: track shared SaaS costs with your team with role-based access.
  • REST API: build integrations with your subscription data.
  • Spending forecasts (Pro+): see projected costs 3, 6, or 12 months out.
  • CSV import/export (Business): bring your data in or take it with you.
  • Calendar view (Pro+): see all upcoming payments on a monthly calendar.

Pricing

Bobby offers a free version and a one-time premium purchase. Subvisory has a free plan that lets you track up to 5 subscriptions, a Pro plan at $5/month for unlimited subscriptions and advanced features, and a Business plan at $15/month for teams.

The verdict

Choose Bobby if you want a simple, mobile-first subscription tracker for personal use and prefer a one-time purchase.

Choose Subvisory if you need web access, team features, free trial tracking, an API, or more advanced analytics. It is the stronger option for anyone tracking subscriptions across personal and work contexts.
