Export Subscriptions to CSV: Which Apps Can
App Comparisons · The Subgrove Team · · Updated · 4 min read
To export your subscriptions to CSV, you need a tracker that keeps the list itself and offers a download: Subgrove (on Pro), TrackMySubs (on its free plan) and the self-hosted Wallos all do. Rocket Money exports bank transactions rather than a subscription list, and Bobby's App Store listing doesn't mention any file export. What lands in the file differs a lot, so check before you commit.
Have a bank statement CSV you want to analyse instead? That's the opposite job: use the free subscription finder, which reads the statement in your browser and lists every recurring charge in it.
Why an export is worth insisting on
- No lock-in. A CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. If you leave the app, your list leaves with you.
- Your own analysis. Sort by category, flag the annual renewals, or model what a 10% price rise would cost, in a spreadsheet instead of the app's fixed screens.
- A record for someone else. For freelancers and small businesses, a dated file of software subscriptions is what a bookkeeper asks for, not a screenshot.
"Export" means very different things from one app to the next, as the list below shows.
Disclosure: Subgrove is our app. Every other entry is described from its own website, documentation or app-store listing, checked in October 2026.
Apps that export subscriptions to CSV, and what you get
Subgrove: your subscription list, one row each
Subgrove exports the whole list from the account menu with Export CSV. Each row is one subscription, with these columns: name, amount, currency, billing cycle, custom interval, start date, the computed next renewal date, category, URL, notes, reminder timing, and whether it's active or paused. Because Subgrove never connects to a bank, the file contains only what you added, with no transaction noise.
CSV export is a Pro feature: $4.99 a month or $39 a year, as on the pricing page. The free plan covers five subscriptions with reminders but no export.
TrackMySubs: export on the free plan
TrackMySubs is a web-based tracker aimed partly at businesses. Its pricing page lists CSV import and export on the free plan, which covers 10 subscriptions; the unlimited plan is $10 a month and adds folders, tags and more alert recipients.
Wallos: CSV or JSON, from a server you run
Wallos is open-source and self-hosted. Its changelog shows subscription export as CSV and as JSON, plus full database backup and restore. Since the database already sits on your own hardware, the export is a convenience rather than your only copy. The cost is running the server; see Subgrove vs Wallos.
Rocket Money: transactions, not a subscription list
Rocket Money exports transactions as CSV from the Transactions tab. The download link arrives by email and opens only on a desktop or laptop. That's useful for budgeting, but it's your bank feed rather than a tidy roster of subscriptions, and Rocket Money is only available in the US.
Bobby: no export advertised
Bobby's App Store listing is "Only for iPhone" and doesn't mention exporting a file; its version notes mention iCloud sync between devices, which is a copy in Apple's cloud rather than a file you hold. If a CSV is a hard requirement, check in the app before relying on it; our Bobby review covers where it shines.
A spreadsheet: the file is the app
If export is all you care about, start in a spreadsheet; our template is already a file you own. It can't remind you before a renewal, though, and that reminder is what actually saves money.

Working with your exported subscription list
A few things make the exported file easier to work with:
- Keep currencies apart. If you pay in more than one currency, filter or pivot by the currency column before summing; adding USD and EUR amounts together gives a meaningless total.
- Normalise the cycles. Divide yearly amounts by 12 and multiply weekly ones by 52/12 to get a comparable monthly cost per row.
- Sort by next renewal to see what's due in the coming weeks, and put the annual ones on your calendar.
Which to pick
- Subgrove if you want reminders on every device and a clean subscription CSV whenever you need it, and you're happy to pay for Pro.
- TrackMySubs if you need export on a free plan and mostly work on a computer.
- Wallos if you'd rather own the database outright.
- Rocket Money only if you're in the US and want transaction-level data.
