5 Best TrackMySubs Alternatives in 2026 (Mobile-Friendly Picks)
The Subgrove Team · · 4 min read
TrackMySubs has quietly served freelancers and small businesses for years, but its web-only design and dated interface send plenty of users hunting for TrackMySubs alternatives — especially anyone who wants to check renewals from a phone, get push reminders, or simply use something that feels modern.
Here's an honest rundown of the best alternatives in 2026, and who each one actually suits.
Who TrackMySubs is still right for
Credit first: TrackMySubs does some things most trackers don't. It's aimed squarely at freelancers and small businesses, with folders and tags for organizing subscriptions by client or project, and multi-currency support that matters when your tools bill in dollars, pounds, and euros. The free tier covers around 10 subscriptions, with paid plans from about $10, as of this writing.
If you manage business subscriptions from a desk all day and need that organizational depth, it may still be your best fit.
The complaints that drive people away:
- Web-only. No mobile app, no offline access, no push notifications on your phone.
- Dated UI. It works, but it feels like it hasn't changed in years.
- Pricing. Paid plans from ~$10 put it near bank-linked apps in cost, without the automation.
The best TrackMySubs alternatives
1. Subgrove — modern, mobile, and private
Subgrove is a manual tracker like TrackMySubs, but built as a PWA: one app that installs to your home screen on iPhone, Android, and desktop, and works fully offline. No bank linking, ever.
It sends push renewal reminders with per-subscription timing (iOS needs 16.4+ and a home-screen install), offers list and calendar views, and normalizes weekly, monthly, yearly, and custom billing cycles into one true monthly cost.
- Pros: Works everywhere including offline, push reminders, clean modern interface, private by design.
- Cons: No folders/tags for business-style organization; manual entry.
- Pricing: Free for up to 5 subscriptions; Pro is $1.99/month, $10/year, or $15 lifetime — note the lifetime price is roughly one month of some TrackMySubs paid plans. Details on the pricing page.
2. Bobby — cheapest option for iPhone users
Bobby is a beautifully designed manual tracker with a ~$2.99 one-time unlock for unlimited subscriptions.
- Pros: Gorgeous design, tiny one-time price, no bank linking.
- Cons: iOS-only; local data with limited sync/backup; development has been sporadic.
- Pricing: Free tier; ~$2.99 one-time. Full thoughts in our Bobby review.
3. Rocket Money — if you want automation instead
Rocket Money links to your US bank accounts, auto-detects recurring charges, and adds concierge cancellation and bill negotiation.
- Pros: No manual entry at all; finds forgotten subscriptions; cancellation help.
- Cons: Requires bank credentials via Plaid; US-only; Premium is $7–14/month; negotiation takes a cut of savings.
- Pricing: Free tier; Premium $7–14/month, as of this writing. See our Rocket Money alternatives guide for the broader landscape.
4. Emma — automation outside the US
Emma is a UK-origin budgeting app (also US/EU) with bank-linked subscription detection as one feature of a bigger money app.
- Pros: Auto-detection for UK/EU users; full budgeting suite.
- Cons: Bank linking required; subscription tracking isn't the focus; useful features sit behind Plus/Pro/Ultimate tiers.
- Pricing: Freemium with paid subscription tiers.
5. Monarch Money — full household budgeting
If your real need has outgrown subscription tracking into complete budgeting, Monarch is a strong bank-linked option.
- Pros: Comprehensive budgeting, shared household finances.
- Cons: ~$14.99/month or ~$99.99/year; bank linking required.
- Pricing: ~$99.99/year, as of this writing.

Which one should you pick?
- Pick Subgrove if you liked TrackMySubs' manual, private approach but want it on your phone, offline, with push reminders — at a lower price.
- Stay with TrackMySubs if folders, tags, and multi-currency organization for business subscriptions are non-negotiable.
- Pick Bobby if you're iPhone-only and want to spend three dollars once.
- Pick Rocket Money, Emma, or Monarch if you're done with manual entry and comfortable linking a bank account.
Manual entry takes about two minutes for ten subscriptions — the real question is which device you want your tracker to live on, and whether your bank login comes along for the ride.
