Bobby alternatives for iPhone
Burn Team
The people who make Burn
Short answer
If you like how Bobby works, Burn, ReSubs and Subby work the same way: you add subscriptions yourself, nothing touches your bank, and you get reminded before payments. Burn adds free trial reminders, price rise history and regular updates. ReSubs is free for unlimited subscriptions. Bobby is still the cheapest if you want to pay a small amount once.

We make Burn, so we have a side here. Bobby's details come from its UK App Store listing, checked 28 October 2026.
What Bobby gets right
Bobby, by Yummygum, has been on the App Store since March 2016. You choose from hundreds of preset subscriptions or add your own, see your monthly total, and get notified when a bill is due. Upgrades on the UK store are one-off packs, from £0.99 ("Unlock Subscription Limit") to £2.99 ("All-in-one Pack v2"). Nothing renews, which is the right price model for an app that tracks renewals. It's in 9 languages and its version notes mention iCloud Sync.
Why people look for a Bobby alternative
Updates. The newest version on the App Store is 3.10.4 from 9 December 2025, more than ten months before we checked. An app that tracks money should keep up with new iOS releases and new services. If that bothers you, here are the options.

Where Bobby wins is price. Its biggest pack is £2.99, once. Burn Pro costs more. Burn also has no importer, so moving over means adding each subscription again, which takes a few seconds each.
