Comparison
SubsRenewal vs Rocket Money
Bank-linking subscription cancellation and bill negotiation.
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) is a different category of product. Its core value is bill negotiation and subscription cancellation on your behalf, financed by taking a cut of what it saves you. SubsRenewal does not do this. SubsRenewal is a tracker, not a negotiator. We list Rocket Money here because they show up whenever someone searches for "subscription tracker".

Who should pick which?
If you want someone to call your cable company and try to lower your bill, and you are willing to give them access to your bank transactions, Rocket Money is a real service that does real work. If you want a tracker that tells you what is renewing, never asks for your bank password, and is free, SubsRenewal is the better fit. Many people use both: Rocket Money for negotiation, SubsRenewal for the ongoing tracking picture.
