ReSubs vs Tilla: Which Android Subscription Tracker Wins?

Both ReSubs and Tilla are privacy-first subscription trackers built for manual entry. Tilla is a lightweight Android-only app with dirt-cheap lifetime pricing. ReSubs works across iOS and Android with more features and subscription pricing. Here is how they compare.

Quick Summary

Tilla is a clean, fast subscription tracker built exclusively for Android by a solo developer based in Ukraine. It follows Material Design 3, runs offline-first, and keeps things simple. Free tier covers 5 subscriptions with no ads. Premium is a one-time $2.99 lifetime purchase that unlocks unlimited subscriptions, analytics, cloud sync, and local backups. It has a 4.3 rating from 828 ratings with over 50K installs on Google Play, and is also available on Huawei AppGallery.

ReSubs is a privacy-first tracker for iOS and Android. You can add subscriptions manually, import via CSV, pull from Gmail, or use AI extraction. Free tier covers 5 subscriptions; Premium is $10/month for unlimited.

Feature Comparison

Subscription Tracking

Tilla is manual entry only. You add each subscription with its name, amount, and billing cycle. It includes a calendar view, multi-currency support, and a home screen widget (enhanced in v2.6). There is no CSV import, no email scanning, and no automatic detection.

ReSubs supports manual entry, CSV import, Gmail import, and AI-powered extraction. You also get trial reminders and state lifecycle tracking — marking subscriptions as paused, cancelled, or renewed so you know exactly where each one stands. Calendar view, home screen widget, and multi-currency with automatic conversion are all included.

Both apps handle the basics well. ReSubs gives you more ways to get subscriptions into the app and more tools to manage their status over time.

Price

Tilla Free: Up to 5 subscriptions, no ads. Tilla Premium: $2.99 one-time lifetime purchase — unlimited subscriptions, analytics, cloud sync, local backups.

ReSubs Free: Up to 5 subscriptions, basic reminders, simple reports. ReSubs Premium: $10/month — unlimited subscriptions, advanced analytics, AI extraction, Gmail import.

This is not close. Tilla's lifetime price is less than a single month of ReSubs Premium. If cost is the deciding factor, Tilla wins outright. The question is whether the extra features in ReSubs justify the ongoing cost.

Privacy

Tilla stores everything locally by default. Cloud sync is available with Premium but entirely optional. No bank connections, no account required. Offline-first by design.

ReSubs takes the same offline-first approach. No bank access, no third-party data sharing. Cloud sync is opt-in only.

Both apps treat privacy the same way. Neither connects to financial institutions. This is a tie.

Platform Support

Tilla: Android only. Also available on Huawei AppGallery. No iOS, no web app.

ReSubs: iOS and Android. Home screen widgets and calendar view on both platforms.

If you are on iPhone or want to switch between platforms, ReSubs is your only option. If you are committed to Android, both work.

Unique Strengths

Tilla is lightweight and fast. Material Design 3 gives it a native Android feel that many users appreciate. The enhanced home screen widget (v2.6) is well-regarded. Active development from a solo developer means updates ship regularly. At $2.99 lifetime, it is one of the cheapest premium subscription trackers available anywhere. The app does one thing and does it cleanly.

ReSubs supports AI extraction that pulls subscription details from screenshots or documents. Gmail import scans your inbox for subscription receipts. CSV import lets you bring data from other tools. State lifecycle tracking logs when you pause, cancel, or renew a subscription so you have a full history. Trial reminders catch free trials before they convert to paid. Over 30 free cancel guides walk you through cancelling popular services step by step. Multi-currency with automatic conversion handles international subscriptions.

Verdict

Choose Tilla if you are on Android, want a clean and fast tracker, and prefer a one-time $2.99 payment over recurring subscription pricing. It is an excellent, focused app with no bloat.

Choose ReSubs if you want cross-platform support, AI extraction, Gmail import, CSV import, trial reminders, state lifecycle tracking, or free cancel guides. It does significantly more, and it works on both iOS and Android.

Both apps share the same privacy-first philosophy. The real decision comes down to whether you need the extra features ReSubs offers or whether Tilla's simplicity and lifetime pricing are enough.
