Everything is typed by hand
Bobby has no import and no automation. Every subscription, price, cycle, and renewal date is manual — which is exactly where most people give up and the tracker goes stale.
Bobby alternative
A Bobby alternative where AI does the typing — on iPhone and Android
Bobby is a lovely, minimal subscription tracker — if you enjoy entering every service, price, and date by hand, and you’re on iOS. SubsCraft keeps the clean-tracker spirit but removes the homework: AI reads a screenshot or receipt and fills everything in, on both platforms.
Why people switch
Why people look for a Bobby alternative
It’s iOS-only
There is no Bobby for Android and never has been. Switch phones — or share subscriptions with an Android user — and you’re out.
Development moves slowly
Bobby is a side project of a design studio. Updates arrive, but rarely — no AI features, no savings analysis, and long-standing requests stay open for years.
TL;DR
The short version
Bobby is a beautifully designed manual tracker with pay-once pricing — genuinely good if your subscription list is short and static. SubsCraft is for everyone who quit manual tracking: AI Craft turns screenshots, receipts, and even voice notes into tracked subscriptions, an AI report suggests where to save, and it runs on iPhone and Android with multi-currency support. Both keep your data on your device.

FAQ
Common questions
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 tracking 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 is SubsCraft a subscription?
Everything Bobby does — tracking, reminders, calendar, insights — is free in SubsCraft, forever. The $1.99/month Premium only covers heavy AI usage (100 credits vs 5 free), because AI processing has real ongoing costs. If you never use AI, you never pay.
