BillZen vs Bobby — Beyond Subscription Tracking
Compare BillZen and Bobby side by side. Bobby tracks subscriptions; BillZen tracks every bill — rent, utilities, insurance, and subscriptions — and shows what's coming.
Bobby is a simple, nicely designed subscription tracker for iPhone. You add services like Netflix or Spotify, and Bobby shows your total spending and reminds you before each renewal.
Subscriptions are only part of the picture, though. BillZen tracks all your recurring bills — rent, utilities, insurance, loans, and subscriptions — and shows how much money you'll need for the weeks and months ahead.

Why switch to BillZen?
Every bill, not just subscriptions
Bobby is built around subscriptions with a fixed price. Real household bills are messier: the electricity bill changes every month, insurance is due once a year, and rent is the biggest payment of all.
BillZen handles all of them. Set bills to repeat weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or on a custom schedule, and update the amount whenever it changes.
See what's coming, not just what you spend
Knowing you spend $80 a month on subscriptions is useful. Knowing you need $1,950 before the end of the month — and that next March is your most expensive month — is what keeps you from being caught short.
BillZen's timeline shows your payments for the next 7, 30, or 90 days, and Pro adds a forecast for the months ahead.
Share bills with your household
Bobby is a personal list for one person on Apple devices. BillZen's Family plan lets everyone in your home see the same bills, assign who pays each one, and mark them as paid — on any phone or computer.
