Rocket Money

65
Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Rocket Money is worth using for its core financial tracking and budgeting features, but its paid subscription is only worth it for users who highly value automated subscription cancellation and bill negotiation, as these features are inconsistently effective.

Rocket Money helps users organize finances, track spending, and manage bills, with many praising its ability to provide a clear overview of their money. However, the app frequently struggles with bank connectivity, inaccurate expense tracking, and issues with its advertised subscription cancellation and bill negotiation services, leading to frustration for some users.

Free vs paid

Many users find it helpful for organizing finances and seeing spending clearly R7R46R69.

  1. [R22] 2/5 · US 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡: I was charged for a membership that I never authorized. I never bought it.
  2. [R70] 1/5 · US Scammed me out of my money: I downloaded this app without buying a premium subscription and they charged me for it, so i recommend to really take care of your money because they s
  3. [R149] 3/5 · US SCAM: They have charged my card for a premium membership for 6 months and I just noticed today. They did give me a full refund but please watch for any surprise charges to your account.
  4. [R4] 1/5 · US Costs me more than it helps: Costs me more money than it helps me save and I’ve keep trying to unsubscribe and it won’t let me… so frustrated
  5. [R54] 1/5 · US Unknowingly being charged: I had cancelled this subscription thru my apple subscriptions… they continued charging thru the app & I had no idea. Super disappointed.
  6. [R57] 1/5 · US Subscription: You have to go into settings to completely cancel your subscription even if you delve the app they will keep charging you be ware!!!!
  7. [R19] 1/5 · US *BEWARE* Predatory charging: They will estimate the amount you owe them by how much they save you annually so 12 months and they don’t let you adjust the percent or time frame. So if they save you $50 a month they say they save you $600 a year and they charge you $300 if you set it to 50%. I was under the assumption it with the monthly payment because I plan on moving in 4 months. It’s just weird
  8. [R8] 1/5 · US Not worth the money: This app isn't nearly what it advertises. "Unwanted subscriptions" are any payments of the same cost that seem to occur on a near-monthly basis. It referred to my transferring money to a friend a couple times as a subscription, among other things as well as the cost of me frequenting my favorite smoothie place? Speaking of subscriptions, though Rocket Money advertises clearing
  9. [R35] 1/5 · US Not Helpful for managing subscriptions: Not at all helpful really for anything. It will cost you much more than you save. Cancelling a subscription is a joke. Much simpler to just do it yourself. The app is confusing and hard to use. Now I gotta figure out how to cancel it!
  10. [R68] 1/5 · US Just a another bill to add to your other bills.: Don’t see any savings, can’t cancel for me the only thing I wanted it to cancel for me.
  11. [R12] 5/5 · US Payments: Just friendly reminder you gotta pay monthly to save money💀
  12. [R29] 2/5 · US They want to help you cancel subscriptions by signing you up for a new subscription.: I was hopeful and now I am very disappointed. They want to help you cancel subscriptions by signing you up for a new subscription. There were no surprises in the list of subscriptions that Rocket Money had, and subscriptions that I expected to see were missing. Waste of time for me so far.
  13. [R85] 1/5 · US Bad: Get a subscription to cancel ur subscriptions. And they don’t even cancel it for u
  14. [R66] 1/5 · US Another price hike: For an app that is for saving money the rate increase again isn’t fair. What services as improved to make the rate hike better to understand.
  15. [R7] 5/5 · US Rocket Money Worth Every Penny!: Rocket Money has really helped to organize our finances, see our spending clearly and take charge of how and when we spend our money! Alerts are extremely helpful! If you desire to take control of your money instead of having your money control you, then Rocket Money is a must have!! Absolutely love this app!! 5 stars is not enough!!
  16. [R17] 5/5 · US Easiest Way to stay on top of finances: I’ve been using rocket money for a few years now and loving it.

  18. [R69] 5/5 · US Helpful: I see things that I was not able to see before. I am more aware of my spending now. Thanks.
  19. [R9] 5/5 · US No worries about what/when a bill is coming out!: It is a comfort to see at anytime when money is coming out of your account. Right at your fingertips,no searching for a bill - knowing what's coming i out and how much leeway I have for spending without over drawing.
  20. [R126] 5/5 · US Easy subsciption management.: Helps out a lot on saving money. Saved me on late fees for my loans it reminds you for stuff
  21. [R128] 5/5 · US Live tracking: It shows me how much money I’ve spent verse my budget. It has really helped me cut back my spending! I’m able to track groceries verse extra expenses! It lets me know how much money in bills are coming out before my next paycheck! I only wish I had more understanding of each feature. There is so much to see on this app!
  22. [R127] 3/5 · US Good App + Don’t Let Them Bargain for You: I’m pretty sure my title says it all. I really enjoy the app and the way it lets me move money around and visualize where things are going. When I had my PayPal connected to my main bank account it counted everything twice, which was horrible. I also don’t think I’m clear on when I shouldn’t make something count for the app, the whole internal transfer th
  23. [R38] 5/5 · US Liz T.: Rocket Money saved me hundreds. Removed unnecessary subscriptions.
  24. [R39] 5/5 · US Saves Me Money.: Saves me money!
  25. [R84] 5/5 · US Life saver: Cannot recommend this app enough. I instantly found subscriptions I didn’t know I had and started canceling immediately.
  26. [R90] 4/5 · US Worth the monthly!: This app helps me keep track of my liquid net worth, cash crunches, and those sneaky recurring subscriptions to digital providers, news outlets & magazines. It helped eliminate some pesky costs I didn’t realize were hanging on, and the monthly summary of HOW I spend helped me make better decisions.
  27. [R23] 5/5 · US Life and Money Saver: Convent and easy to use
  28. [R64] 5/5 · US The best: Usually these apps when you connect your cards and such you always have to re-sync them and add a password and all the time Rocket Money doesn’t have that problem. Also, it’s really easy to use. I’d recommend it for everyone who wants to track their money.
  29. [R72] 5/5 · US Rocket Money: Easy to Understand
  30. [R31] 4/5 · US So far so good: Just downloaded less than a week ago, so far I feel like I already have a better grasp on my spending habits!!
  31. [R33] 5/5 · US Great Budget support: Get it and use it , be diligent and discipline, my life is better!
  32. [R42] 5/5 · US Has help me budget and save!: For a young guy out of college to now 4 years later I needed some help grasping my financials and being able to save for the future and present. Rocket Money has help me do that and create the proper basics to have down when sending, budgeting, and saving!
  33. [R59] 5/5 · US Check this out: Best app for managing my money and easy way to save money. I am not got with keeping track with my spending habits but Rocket Money had helped so much. Love this app 😎
  34. [R10] 1/5 · US Subscriptions: I only joined for subscription. review but it said none. That’s wrong
  35. [R21] 1/5 · US Useless App: Thought this was supposed to make it easier to view and cancel subscriptions. They want you to manually input every single subscription. Kinda defeats the purpose, no?
  36. [R32] 1/5 · US Not worth signing up: I signed up to get them to cancel a subscription I couldn’t find to cancel because that is what they say they do when you link your accounts. Well they couldn’t find the subscription and told me to cancel it myself. So yeah I will start with canceling this subscription.
  37. [R1] 3/5 · US UBS connection broken?! I’m gonna stop paying!: I like Rocket Money I like that it tells me my balance and every morning and things that come through and things that are coming and whatever I’m already on top of my own subscription so that’s completely useless but the most inconvenient thing is the handshake between my bank UBS checking account and I don’t know what they use plaid whatever it is i
  38. [R18] 2/5 · US Not a bunch of banking: I feel like a bunch of people use Cashapp, Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna etc. and for Rocket Money to still not have those as linkable just ruins the app for me. I’m bad with money and that’s why I have rocket money but I feel like it hasn’t helped me past just viewing subscriptions after like 6 payments.
  39. [R37] 1/5 · US Save: I have been trying to save money, but it won’t link to my account. It’s linked to my account, but it won’t pull every time. I try to put something into the savings. It won’t let me it keeps showing a negative.
  40. [R40] 3/5 · US I love the app! But-: I really do love the app and the service it offers. However, im frequently getting notifications of "refunds" that were purchases that I have made and I have to report the issue. Hopefully with the update I just did maybe that issue may be fixed but it throws me and the numbers in the app off and makes the experience frustrating.
  41. [R34] 2/5 · US Not really worth it: Not really getting the savings suggested when I signed up. Also, can be very quirky adding vendors you’d like them to negotiate with.
  42. [R112] 4/5 · US Great app, but a lot of setup needed and bill negotiation never worked: Beautifully designed and easy to follow. I would only recommend this app if you are prepared to spend quite a bit of time categorizing. There are other apps out there which reduce the categorizing time tremendously. The option to teach the app about rules was interesting but not intuitive and, again , time consuming. The bi
  43. [R243] 3/5 · US Recurring charges: I thought rocket was going to help me with my money management? I have a couple recurring charges but rocket doesn’t let me cancel them? Why? Thought that was what this app does. Offers to reduce bills and rocket can’t connect to my account? So no help there. Recurring charges on credit card and rocket won’t help me cancel !?!?
  44. [R248] 3/5 · US It’s just okay: Started using Rocket Money about 3 months ago. It is good for a consolidated view. It only found about 15% of my subscriptions. It says it can lower the price I am paying for them but really it just gives me the support numbers or email so I can call. Again the app is fine. I have nothing to compare it to but I really wanted to help find all my subscriptions.
  45. [R5] 1/5 · US Error: I want to cancel a subscription to ADT just keep getting an error message to try again later
  46. [R20] 1/5 · US No help: I’ve been asking for help to get a money issues solved. And still till this day it’s hasn’t been fix. I’m just told to wait and nothing it’s been three months. And I can’t cancel or resolve the issues so I just have it.
  47. [R43] 1/5 · US Scam: They charged me for the service twice and the customer support isn’t responding to my messages. This is fraudulent app
  48. [R65] 1/5 · US Awful experience, consumer beware.: I had smart savings goals and when I went to withdraw on one it stated that all the money was gone. Went from 1600 to 68. Good luck trying to talk to anyone but an AI that argues with you and gives you no answers. Your money is not safe here. I’ll put it in an interest earning savings that has actual people to help if something happens. Consumers beware because
