Bobby is a well-loved, privacy-friendly iOS subscription tracker, but if you want cancellation help, cross-platform access, or automatic detection, several alternatives fit. Gravity is the closest match for a private, no-account-linking iPhone tool that also walks you through canceling. ReSubs and Trackery mirror Bobby's manual style, while Rocket Money and PocketGuard automatically detect subscriptions from linked accounts.
Bobby is a beautifully minimal iOS subscription tracker: you add each subscription by hand, see your monthly total, and get renewal reminders. It never connects to financial accounts, and it charges a one-time in-app purchase (about $2.99) rather than a subscription. That privacy-first, no-linking approach is exactly why people love it, and it's also why the right alternative depends entirely on what Bobby doesn't do.
People usually leave Bobby for one of three reasons: they want step-by-step help actually canceling a service (not just tracking it), they need Android or web access, or they'd rather have charges detected automatically. Below, the picks are grouped by approach: private manual trackers that work like Bobby, and account-linked apps that automatically detect subscriptions. We verified each is a live product in 2026 and flagged renamed or wound-down services (for example, Intuit Mint shut down in 2024, and Truebill is now Rocket Money).
A private iPhone subscription manager. You add the services you pay for, and it tracks renewal dates and trial deadlines, then gives official-source-verified, step-by-step guidance to cancel any service — you cancel, it guides. It never links financial accounts.
A privacy-first manual tracker and the closest cross-platform match to Bobby. You add subscriptions by hand, import a CSV, scan billing emails, or extract them from screenshots. There is no financial-account linking; the focus is tracking, totals, and reminders rather than canceling for you.
A minimalist, privacy-focused manual tracker in the same spirit as Bobby. Entries are stored on-device and synced through personal iCloud rather than a company server. It shows monthly totals and payment reminders and does not connect to financial accounts.
automatically detects recurring charges from linked bank/card accounts and flags subscriptions you may have forgotten. Premium can request cancellations on your behalf and negotiate certain bills, where a success-based fee (a share of first-year savings) applies. Requires linking financial accounts.
Rebranded from Truebill in 2022
A budgeting app that identifies recurring subscriptions by analyzing transactions from linked accounts (a Plus feature). It surfaces what it finds and provides cancellation instructions, but it does not cancel subscriptions for you. Requires linking financial accounts.
Finds recurring bills and subscriptions from linked accounts. Premium members can request cancellations and have Hiatus negotiate bills for a share of the savings. Requires linking financial accounts.
A premium budgeting app that auto-categorizes transactions and surfaces recurring charges, including forgotten subscriptions. It tracks and alerts but does not cancel subscriptions for you. Requires linking financial accounts.
A bill-negotiation and savings service that can spot recurring charges and help cancel some subscriptions. Note that general subscription cancellation is now limited to OneMain or Brightway loan and card customers, which narrows its usefulness as a standalone Bobby alternative. Requires linking financial accounts.
Formerly the standalone Trim app; acquired by OneMain in 2021 and folded into OneMain's MyMoney
An AI "consumer" service that submits cancellation requests to providers on your behalf. Outcomes depend on each provider, and the 2025 FTC settlement plus user reports flag reliability concerns. Listed here for completeness rather than as a recommendation.
Settled FTC charges in 2025 over deceptive "AI lawyer" claims ($193K in relief); user complaints about cancellation reliability persist
Gravity. Like Bobby, it's a private iPhone app that never links financial accounts, and you add subscriptions yourself. The difference is that it also tracks trial end dates and gives official-source-verified, step-by-step cancellation instructions for each service, so you're guided through canceling rather than just reminded a charge is coming. It's a paid app ($19.99/month or $59.99/year). If you only want manual tracking without cancellation help, ReSubs and Trackery are closer like-for-like matches.
Yes. ReSubs (iOS and Android), Rocket Money, PocketGuard, and Hiatus all have Android apps, and Rocket Money and PocketGuard also work in a web browser. Bobby, Gravity, and Trackery are iPhone-focused, while Copilot Money covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and web. If cross-platform access is your main reason for leaving Bobby, start with ReSubs (manual, no account linking) or Rocket Money (account-linked, automatically detects charges).
No for Mint: Intuit shut it down in 2024 and pointed users to Credit Karma. Truebill was renamed Rocket Money, and the standalone Trim app was absorbed into OneMain's MyMoney, where general subscription cancellation is now limited to OneMain and Brightway customers. For a current, manual, no-account-linking tracker in Bobby's style, look at Gravity, ReSubs, or Trackery instead.
