5 Best Trackery Alternatives for Subscription Tracking (2026)

Trackery gets a lot right: it's free, it's private, and it never asks for your bank login. You search from a big catalogue of services, tap to add them, and everything stays on your device. If you're hunting for a Trackery alternative, you probably already like that shape — no Plaid, no ads, no monthly fee — and you've hit the one wall it can't move: it only runs on iPhone.

Let's be fair up front: for a single-person, all-Apple household, Trackery is genuinely hard to beat on price — it's free. The reasons to look elsewhere aren't about cost. They're about where it runs. Here's the honest breakdown.

Why people look beyond Trackery

Credit where it's due. Trackery is manual by design — no bank connection required, so your financial data stays private on your own device. It even does shared household tracking with cost splitting, which a lot of free trackers skip. If you and everyone you share plans with are on iPhone, it might be all you need, and that's a fine outcome.

The reasons people still shop around:

• iOS only. The moment your household is mixed iPhone-and-Android — or you want to check the list on a laptop — a single-platform app can't be the shared source of truth. Family sharing doesn't help if half the family can't install it.
• No web or desktop view. Some people want to sit down at a computer and see the whole picture, not squint at a phone.
• Currency coverage. If you pay for some things in your home currency and others in USD, you want them folded into one honest total.

None of those are solved by a different iPhone app. They're solved by a differently-shaped one.

The best Trackery alternatives

1. Subgrove — same private model, every platform

Subgrove keeps what makes Trackery good — manual entry, no bank linking, privacy by default — and removes the iOS-only ceiling. It's a PWA, so the same app installs to the home screen on iPhone and Android and desktop, and works fully offline.

On top of cross-platform, it adds the things a single-device app can't: multi-currency totals, real family sharing across devices, a calendar view of every renewal, and push reminders with per-subscription timing.

• Pros: Cross-platform, multi-currency, family sharing, calendar view, offline, private.
• Cons: Manual entry — no automatic detection.
• Pricing: Free for up to 5 subscriptions; Pro is $1.99/month, $10/year, or $15 lifetime.

2. Bobby — the Trackery formula, still on iOS

If the appeal of Trackery is iPhone-native and free-feeling, Bobby is the closest sibling: a polished, private, manual tracker with a cheap one-time unlock. It won't get you off iOS, but if that's not the problem you're solving, it's a lovely app.

• Pros: Beautiful native iOS design, no bank linking, cheap one-time price.
• Cons: iOS only; data lives on one device. See our Bobby review.
• Pricing: ~$2.99 one-time.

3. SubTracker.io — browser-based with 25+ currencies

A web-and-PWA tracker with shared workspaces and broad multi-currency support, no bank linking. It sidesteps the platform question the same way Subgrove does.

• Pros: Runs anywhere there's a browser; multi-currency; shared workspaces.
• Cons: Subscription pricing, no lifetime option; free tier capped at 10 subscriptions.
• Pricing: Free (up to 10); Plus ~€5.90/mo; Family ~€9.90/mo, as of this writing.

4. A spreadsheet — the free, fully-private baseline

Nothing is more private than a file you own. We publish a template to start from — it just has no reminders, which is the feature that actually stops a renewal in time.

• Pros: Free, totally private, portable.
• Cons: No reminders, no normalization, no real sharing.

5. Rocket Money — only if you'd rather automate

If Trackery's manual entry is the part you'd happily drop, Rocket Money takes the opposite approach: link your US bank, auto-detect charges, get cancellation help. You trade privacy and bank access for automation — and it's US-only.

• Pros: Automatic detection, cancellation help.
• Cons: Bank linking (Plaid); US-only; paid tier for the good parts.
• Pricing: Free tier; Premium $7–14/month.

Which Trackery alternative should you pick?

If you liked Trackery but need it beyond the iPhone, most people want Subgrove. It's the same private, manual, no-bank idea, but it works on whatever device you or your family pick up, holds more than one currency, and can genuinely be shared — the things an iOS-only app can't do at any price. And with a $15 lifetime option, it keeps that pay-nothing-monthly spirit.

Pick Bobby if you're staying on iPhone and just want Trackery's equivalent with a nicer coat of paint.

Pick SubTracker.io if you're happy paying monthly and want a browser-first workspace.

Pick Rocket Money only if you're in the US and you'd rather trade bank access for automatic detection.

Trackery nails the fundamentals — free, private, simple. The only question is whether "iPhone-only" describes everyone who needs to see the list. If it doesn't, the fix isn't another iOS app, it's one shaped for more than one device. Want your real total first? The free subscription cost calculator adds it up in two minutes.
