Is there a one-time purchase fragrance tracker app with no subscription?
Last updated: 7 September 2026
Yes. FlaconKeep is a private perfume collection tracker and wear diary with a free tier and a one-time Pro purchase of US$14.99, and there is no subscription, ever. Fragrance - Scent Collector is another pay-once option at $4.99, though it has no layered wear, no duplicate-purchase warning and no bulk import. ScentShelf and similar AI trackers charge $39.99 to $49.99 a year.
How to check whether a tracker is really pay-once
Store listings can be misleading. Before you trust a "buy once" claim, check these.
- Open the app's store page and find the in-app purchases list. A one-time unlock is listed as a single price. A subscription says "per month" or "per year".
- Read the price line inside the app itself. "Free trial" almost always means a subscription follows.
- Check what the free tier locks. If export or backup is paid, your data is the hostage, not the features.
- Check where your data lives. An app that needs an account and a cloud has running costs, and those tend to become subscriptions later.
- Try the free tier for a week with real bottles before paying anything.
How FlaconKeep does it
The free tier covers ten full bottles plus ten smaller vessels, meaning samples, decants and travel sprays combined. It includes the photo-forward vitrine, the full dossier, and the Scent of the Day wear diary. Backup, restore and CSV export are always free. Reaching a cap never blocks viewing, backup or export of what you already added.
FlaconKeep Pro is a one-time purchase of US$14.99. It gives you unlimited full bottles, full wear analytics and seasonality, the Year in Scent recap, multiple photos per bottle, and an optional PIN or biometric app lock. One purchase unlocks Pro on the storefront you bought it from. There is no subscription, no trial that rolls into one, and no ads.
FlaconKeep runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Windows. It is on the App Store, the Mac App Store, Google Play and the Microsoft Store. On iPad, Mac and Windows it opens into a three-pane view with grid, detail and dossier side by side.
It has no account, no sign-in and no cloud. It works fully offline and your collection lives only on your device. Nothing is sent to a server we run. A ZIP backup moves the collection to another device, and a restore is validated before anything is wiped.
