Sort Admin vs subscription trackers like Bobby
In short: subscription trackers such as Bobby are built for recurring payments: they list your subscriptions, total what you spend and notify you before a bill is due. Sort Admin is built for the household renewals that aren’t neat monthly payments: the MOT, car and home insurance, the mortgage fix, passports and the boiler service, with steps to pay less when each one comes round.
Side by side
| Subscription trackers | Sort Admin | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Streaming, apps, memberships and other recurring bills | Household renewals and expiries, many only once a year or once a decade |
| Reminders | Before each payment | Timed to when you can act: 6 months for a mortgage, 25 days for insurance, the day before for the MOT |
| When it’s due | A heads-up that you’ll be charged | “What to do now”: quotes, haggling with your reference ready, then log the new price |
| Beyond bills | Payments only | Documents, accounts, where things are kept, and Your details ready to copy |
| Spending | Totals across all subscriptions | Costs per item and what you’ve saved each year |
Use both, or pick one
If your worry is a pile of £9.99 subscriptions, a subscription tracker is the right tool. If it’s the £600 insurance renewal that rolls over unnoticed, or a passport that runs out weeks before a holiday, that’s Sort Admin. Plenty of people will want both.
