What's genuinely free
The free tier is not a demo. The core promise — work out the cancel-by date, remind you early, remind you again on the deadline day, hand you the cancellation link — works in full for up to three subscriptions. So do the calendar, the spending insights and the per-item reminder timing. Those are not paid features, and a few comparison articles get this wrong.
What the Lifetime unlock adds is scale and convenience: more than three subscriptions, Home Screen widgets, a Face ID lock and CSV export. iCloud Backup is not on that list — it is free for everyone.

One forgotten trial can cost more than TrialBell.
You may never need to pay. Start on the free plan and upgrade only if you want to track more than three things at once. If you do, it is a single payment with no renewal date to remember.
Why it's one payment
Charging a monthly fee for an app whose entire job is to stop monthly fees creeping up on you is a hard thing to say with a straight face. It also changes what the app wants from you: a subscription business needs you to keep opening it, and TrialBell is at its best when it sends one notification a month and you never think about it otherwise.
A one-time price means the app can be quiet, and it means the incentive to harvest anything about you never appears. There's no data business here — the $19.99 is the business.
The honest trade-off
$19.99 once is more than some trackers charge. Bobby and Subby are cheaper, and if all you want is a tidy list of what you pay each month, they are reasonable picks. TrialBell costs more because it's built around the free-trial deadline — the cancel-by date, the two-stage reminder, the cancellation links. If you don't sign up for trials, you may not need that.
What happens at the free limit
Nothing you've already added stops working. When you're tracking three subscriptions, TrialBell tells you you've reached the free limit and offers the Lifetime unlock when you try to add a fourth. Existing reminders keep firing. There's no countdown, no expiring trial of the paid version, and no feature that quietly switches off later.
Buying, restoring and refunds
- Purchases go through Apple. The Lifetime unlock (listed in the app as “TrialBell Pro”) is an Apple In-App Purchase billed to your Apple Account. TrialBell never sees or stores a card number.
- Restoring is built in. Open Settings inside the app and tap Restore Purchases. Because the purchase is tied to your Apple Account, signing in on a new iPhone gets your purchase back.
- Refunds are Apple's to give. We can't issue one directly — request it at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something's wrong with the app, email us first and we'll try to fix it.
Start free
Three subscriptions, full reminders, no account and no card. Unlock unlimited tracking for a one-time $19.99 whenever you outgrow it.
Download on theApp StoreFrequently asked
Is the Lifetime unlock a subscription?
No. It's a single In-App Purchase — pay $19.99 once and it stays unlocked. There's no renewal and nothing to cancel.
Do I need to pay to get trial reminders?
No. Cancel-by reminders, the final-day alert and per-subscription timing all work on the free tier. The free limit is on how many subscriptions you track at once — three — not on the reminders themselves.
Is there a monthly or yearly plan?
No. Free and a one-time Lifetime unlock are the only two options.
What happens to my data if I never pay?
Nothing changes. It stays on your iPhone exactly as before, and iCloud Backup keeps working — it's included free, not a paid feature, so your subscriptions come back if you reinstall TrialBell or switch phones.
How do I restore my purchase on a new iPhone?
Sign in with the same Apple Account, open TrialBell, go to Settings and tap Restore Purchases.
