Last verified: July 2026. Orbit details from its App Store listing (Flooben Ltd). “Not listed” means the feature isn’t advertised on Orbit’s App Store page (public listing, not hands-on testing). Prices are App Store prices; lifetime tiers vary by region ($24.99/$39.99).
Adding subscriptions
This is Orbit’s signature strength. Magic Import lets you add subscriptions from screenshots, CSV files or bank statements — handy if you already have a long list and don’t want to type. TrialBell is manual with 130 quick-add templates; fast per item, but it won’t bulk-import from a statement. If you’re starting from a pile of existing subscriptions, Orbit saves time up front.
Privacy & setup
Neither app uses a live bank connection, so both are far more private than bank-linked trackers. Orbit’s import reads statements/screenshots you hand it, and its App Store privacy label lists usage data and diagnostics not tied to your identity. TrialBell keeps everything on your iPhone with no account. Both are solid on privacy; TrialBell is the more strictly on-device of the two.
Reminders & cancellation help
Both remind you before renewals and flag trials. The difference is the finish: TrialBell is built around the cancel-by date with a lead reminder and a final-day safety alert, and it puts the right cancel page one tap away via 42 built-in links. Orbit sends renewal and trial notifications but doesn’t advertise one-tap cancellation links, so you’d find the cancel page yourself.
Pricing
Orbit is free with a subscription ($12.99 or $19.99) or a lifetime unlock ($24.99+). TrialBell is free for up to 3 and a one-time $19.99 for Pro. If you want to pay once, TrialBell’s lifetime is cheaper than Orbit’s.
You want cancel-by protection and pay-once
Trials and renewals are your worry, you want the cancel page one tap away, and you’d rather pay once and keep everything on-device.
You want to import existing subs and heavy currency support
You have a long list to bring over from statements or screenshots, or you track services in many currencies.
