Gravity vs Bobby (2026): When Is a Paid Tracker Worth It?

Yes. Its App Store listing shows version 3.10.4 shipped in December 2025 by developer Yummygum, with a 4.7 average from around 8,000 US ratings, so it is a maintained app rather than an abandoned one. That matters when you pick a manual tracker: an unmaintained one eventually breaks on a new iOS release and takes your list with it, and Bobby has not had that problem.

Bobby is free to download and its in-app purchases are one-time rather than a subscription: $0.99 each to lift the subscription limit or the category limit or to add the security and visual packs, and $1.99 to $2.99 for an all-in-one pack that bundles them. The realistic total is a few dollars, once. Pack names and prices do change, so check the App Store listing before you buy.

No, and it does not claim to. Bobby shows what you are paying for and reminds you before each renewal; working out how to end a particular service is left entirely to you. That is the whole difference between these two apps. Gravity exists for the per-provider cancellation steps, checked against each company's own instructions, and for reminders that prompt you to act before a renewal rather than after it.

When the problem is ending subscriptions rather than seeing them. If you already know what you pay for and you only want the list and the reminders, a few dollars once beats $59.99 a year, and Bobby does that job well. A yearly price only makes sense if you keep losing money to renewals you meant to cancel and keep stalling because you cannot face working out how. In that case the guidance is the product and the list is a side effect.

Neither. Both are manual trackers: nothing is linked, no bank login is ever requested, and the list lives on your device instead of in a company's cloud. The shared trade-off is that neither can surface a charge you had forgotten about, the way an account-linking app such as Rocket Money does. If discovery matters more to you than keeping your accounts to yourself, neither of these is the right pick.

Not with a one-tap transfer. Neither app advertises an import from the other, so plan on re-entering everything, and that is a real cost of switching once you have twenty entries. Two things make it quicker: Bobby shows every entry with its cost and billing cycle on one screen, and Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on iPhone lists everything Apple bills directly, which is usually half the list anyway.
