Subfaro vs Rocket Money
Rocket Money links your bank accounts and finds subscriptions for you; Premium can even cancel some of them and it negotiates bills for a fee. Subfaro never asks for a bank login: you pick your plans (or import a statement), it fills in the official price, checks it every week and warns you before every charge and every price increase. Rocket Money works with US banks only; Subfaro works with any card, anywhere.
Choose Rocket Money if…
- you're in the US and happy to link your bank accounts;
- you want subscriptions found automatically and a concierge to cancel them (Premium);
- you also want budgets, net worth and bill negotiation.
Choose Subfaro if…
- you'd rather not give any app access to your bank;
- you pay in more than one currency, or live outside the US;
- you want to know when a service raises its price, checked against official prices every week.

What Rocket Money does better
Zero setup: link your accounts and Rocket Money lists your recurring charges. Premium adds a cancel-it-for-me concierge for supported providers, budgets, net worth and partner sharing; it also negotiates bills, keeping 35–60% of the first year's savings as a fee (no fee on Premium+) (Rocket Money). It has a huge user base: about 403,000 ratings on the US App Store, averaging 4.5.
Where Subfaro is different
No bank connection. Rocket Money works by linking accounts through Plaid and its privacy notice describes sharing data with Rocket Companies affiliates for marketing (privacy notice). Subfaro never asks for bank logins: you add subscriptions, import a card statement (read and discarded) or add them from the service's page with the Chrome extension.
Official prices, checked weekly. Subfaro knows the plans of 100+ services and their current prices, so it warns you when a service raises the price of your plan — often before the new charge hits (see every 2026 price increase). Rocket Money spots increases after they show up in your transactions.
Anywhere, any currency. Rocket Money supports US banks and USD only (help). Subfaro works with any card and shows the real cost of foreign-currency subscriptions.
