The free plan is fenced in
Bobby caps subscriptions and categories on the free tier, then sells the cap lift, the themes, and the passcode lock as separate purchases. Small money, but they are limits SubsCraft does not have at all.
Bobby alternative
A Bobby alternative where the paid packs are free, on iPhone and Android
Bobby is a lovely, minimal subscription manager, but its free plan is fenced in: more subscriptions, more categories, themes, and a passcode lock are all separate purchases. SubsCraft hands you all of that for nothing, adds AI entry so you stop typing, and runs on Android too.
Why people switch
Why people look for a Bobby alternative
Everything is typed by hand
Bobby has no import and no automation. Every subscription, price, cycle, and renewal date is typed by hand. That is exactly where most people give up and the list goes stale.
It’s iOS-only
There is no Bobby for Android and never has been. Switch phones, or try to manage subscriptions with someone on Android, and you’re out.
TL;DR
The short version
Bobby is a beautifully designed manual tracker, and its unlocks are cheap. But every one of them (unlimited subscriptions, unlimited categories, themes) is already free in SubsCraft, on iPhone and Android, with no ads. On top of that, AI Craft turns screenshots, receipts, and voice notes into tracked subscriptions, and AI Saving goes looking for a cheaper way to pay for what you already have. Both apps keep your data on your device. The one thing Bobby has that we do not is an in-app passcode lock.

Choose SubsCraft if…
- You’d rather not pay to lift a cap on how many subscriptions you can track
- Typing in subscriptions is why your last tracker died
- You’re on Android, or might not stay on iPhone forever
- You want the app to suggest savings, not just record spending
- You pay in more than one currency
Choose Bobby if…
- You want a passcode lock on the app itself, which Bobby has and we don’t yet
- You have a handful of subscriptions that rarely change
- You strongly prefer pay-once over any recurring price, even an optional one
- You’re all-in on iOS and want a minimal, pretty widget-style tracker
FAQ
Common questions
Which Bobby paid features are free in SubsCraft?
SubsCraft gives away every Bobby paid feature that is a limit rather than an extra. Bobby sells an unlock for its subscription cap ($0.99), an unlock for its category cap ($0.99), and a visual pack for themes ($0.99). SubsCraft has no subscription cap, no category cap, and ships light and dark themes free. The one Bobby pack with no free equivalent here is the security pack: SubsCraft has no in-app passcode lock yet.
Is there a Bobby app for Android?
No. Bobby has been iOS-only since launch, and its developer has not announced Android plans. SubsCraft offers the same private, on-device approach on both iOS and Android, with AI-powered entry on top.
What is the best Bobby alternative that isn’t manual?
SubsCraft keeps Bobby’s no-bank-login philosophy but replaces hand entry with AI Craft: screenshot a receipt, paste a billing email, or say it out loud, and the subscription is created with price, cycle, and renewal date filled in.
Bobby is pay-once. Why does SubsCraft have a subscription?
Everything Bobby does, including the features it charges to unlock, is free in SubsCraft forever. Premium adds 100 monthly AI credits, priority AI analysis when the queue is busy, and early access to new features while subscription tracking stays free and no plan has ads.
