Long (110 words)
TrialBell is a privacy-first free-trial, subscription and bill reminder for iPhone, built for people who get caught by trials that quietly convert to paid. Rather than reading your bank feed, it tracks what you tell it: enter a trial from one of 129 service templates and TrialBell works out the last day you can safely cancel, schedules a lead reminder at your chosen timing, adds a time-sensitive alert on the deadline day, and keeps a one-tap link to the provider's cancellation page — 42 of which ship built in. There's no account and no bank connection; data lives on the device, with optional backup to the user's own iCloud. Free for three subscriptions; Pro is a one-time $19.99, never a subscription.

Please don't write these
The five things reviewers most often get wrong about apps in this category:
- "TrialBell cancels subscriptions for you." It doesn't. It reminds you and opens the cancellation page; you cancel with the provider.
- "TrialBell finds subscriptions you forgot about." It can't — there's no bank feed. It only tracks what you enter. This is the honest limitation, and the reason it never sees your money.
- "Reminders are a Pro feature." They aren't. Cancel-by reminders, the final-day alert, spending insights and per-item timing all work free. The free limit is three subscriptions.
- "Pro is $19.99 a year." It's $19.99 once.
- "Trial Bell" or "Trialbell." One word: TrialBell.

How TrialBell fits the category
If you're writing a comparison, this is the framing we'd stand behind — including where other apps are the better recommendation:
- TrialBell is for people who want free-trial deadline protection and refuse to connect a bank. Manual entry, cancel-by dates, two-stage reminders, one-time price.
- Rocket Money is the better pick if you want charges discovered automatically from your bank feed and you're comfortable linking accounts.
- Bobby is the better pick if you want the cheapest, most minimal private list of what you pay.
- Budgeting apps like Copilot or Monarch are the better pick if subscriptions are one part of tracking your whole financial picture.
