The best free-trial trackers fall into two camps. For automated detection across accounts, Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) and PocketGuard link bank/card accounts and flag trials before they convert. For a private, no-account-linking option on iPhone, Gravity tracks renewals and trials and walks you through cancelling each service yourself. Bobby is a simple free manual alternative.
trials are engineered to convert. You sign up, forget the date, and the first charge lands weeks later. A trial tracker's real job is to remember the renewal date for you and nudge you to cancel in time. The tools below split into two approaches: apps that link bank or card accounts to detect recurring charges and flag upcoming trial conversions, and apps that keep nothing linked, where you add trials yourself and get reminders on your device. Neither approach is 'best' in the abstract, it depends on whether you value hands-off automation or want to keep your financial accounts disconnected.
We verified each tool against its own site and app listing in July 2026. A few names you may remember are gone or renamed: Intuit Mint shut down in 2024, Truebill is now Rocket Money, and Trim has been folded into OneMain MyMoney. Where a company does not publish a firm price, we say 'check current pricing' rather than guess, and we note any regulatory action worth knowing about.
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.
Detects recurring charges and upcoming trial conversions from linked accounts, shows them in a list or calendar view, sends alerts before a trial turns into a paid subscription, and can cancel some subscriptions on your behalf. Offers optional paid bill negotiation that takes a cut of any savings. Best if you want automation and are comfortable linking accounts.
Rebranded from Truebill in 2022
Links accounts to surface subscriptions and bills, then a concierge team can negotiate bills and cancel services you no longer use on your behalf. Charges a flat premium fee rather than taking a percentage of savings. Best if you want a hands-off service to do the cancelling and negotiating for you.
A budgeting app that links accounts and analyzes transactions to flag subscriptions and recurring bills. Subscription tracking sits in the paid Plus tier, and connections are read-only. Best if you want full budgeting and 'safe to spend' insights alongside trial tracking, rather than a dedicated cancellation tool.
A long-running, lightweight manual tracker for iPhone. You enter each subscription and trial yourself, and Bobby shows what renews when with reminders. No account linking and no recurring fee. Good if you just want a simple list and nudges, though it offers no built-in cancellation guidance.
Links accounts to monitor subscriptions, negotiate bills, and help cancel recurring charges. Free for OneMain and Brightway customers. Best if you want automated monitoring plus negotiation, and don't mind that the product has changed hands and branding.
Formerly Trim, now part of OneMain
Best known for a 'trial card,' a virtual placeholder card number that declines charges once a trial ends, plus AI-assisted cancellation letters. Useful for signing up to trials without exposing a real card. Treat its broader 'robot lawyer' legal features with caution given the FTC's 2025 order.

Discontinued. Intuit shut Mint down in early 2024 and directed users to Credit Karma, which offers lighter subscription and bill tracking. Included here only because Mint still appears in older 'free trial tracker' roundups; it is no longer a working option.

It depends on the trade-off you want. For automated detection, Rocket Money and PocketGuard link bank/card accounts and flag trials before they convert to paid. For a private option that links no accounts, Gravity (iPhone) tracks renewals and trials and guides you step by step through cancelling each one, and Bobby is a simple manual tracker if you only need reminders.
Not all of them. automatic detection apps like Rocket Money, Hiatus, PocketGuard, and OneMain MyMoney link bank/card accounts to find recurring charges. Manual trackers like Gravity and Bobby link nothing, you add trials yourself and get reminders on your device. That's the core automation-versus-privacy trade-off. DoNotPay takes a different route, issuing a virtual placeholder card instead of connecting an account.
No. Intuit shut Mint down in 2024 and pointed users to Credit Karma. Truebill no longer exists under that name, it's now Rocket Money, and Trim has become OneMain MyMoney. If you're moving off a discontinued app, the working options above range from bank-linked (Rocket Money, PocketGuard, Hiatus) to no-linking manual trackers (Gravity, Bobby).
