The affordable, private alternative to Rocket Money
Rocket Money is a free-tier tool built to cancel subscriptions and negotiate bills (for a cut). PennyFinch is a clean, flat-price dashboard with no upsells.
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) has a free tier and is built around saving you money — tracking subscriptions, canceling them for you, and negotiating bills (it keeps 35–60% of whatever it saves). Premium is 'pay what you want,' usually $7–$14/month.
PennyFinch isn't a bill-negotiation service — it's a clean, flat $3/month dashboard that just shows all your money in one place, with no upsells, no success fees, and no selling your data. Want subscription cancellation and bill haggling? Rocket Money does that. Want a simple, honest all-your-money view? PennyFinch.
