PocketGuard is still live in 2026 (limited free tier, or Plus at $12.99/month or $74.99/year), but alternatives fit different needs: Rocket Money for hands-off subscription cancellation, Monarch Money or YNAB for full budgeting, Copilot for Apple users, and privacy-first picks like Gravity and Bobby that don't link financial accounts.
PocketGuard remains an active budgeting app in 2026, built around its "In My Pocket" number showing what's safe to spend after bills, goals, and subscriptions. Its free tier is limited, and its Plus plan runs $12.99/month or $74.99/year, so it's worth comparing before you commit. Like most budgeting apps, PocketGuard links bank/card accounts to work automatically, which is exactly why some people look for something different.
This roundup covers nine alternatives verified as operating in 2026, ranging from full budgeting suites to lightweight subscription trackers, and flags the tools that changed or disappeared so you don't waste time. A few names you'll still see recommended are gone or renamed: Intuit Mint shut down in 2024 (Intuit pointed users to Credit Karma), Truebill is now Rocket Money, and the bill-negotiation app Trim has largely wound down and is no longer worth signing up for.
A private iPhone subscription manager. You add the services you pay for, and it tracks renewal dates and trial deadlines, then gives official-source-verified, step-by-step guidance to cancel any service — you cancel, it guides. It never links financial accounts.
The best-known subscription-cancellation alternative: Premium members can request that Rocket Money's concierge contact a provider and cancel on their behalf. It links bank/card accounts to detect recurring charges, track spending, and flag unwanted subscriptions.
Rebranded from Truebill after Rocket Companies acquired it in 2021
A full-featured budgeting and net-worth app that links bank/card and investment accounts to sync transactions, build flexible budgets, and track goals. Includes shared household access so couples can manage finances on one subscription.
Widely adopted as a Mint replacement
A zero-based budgeting system with a strong methodology and a real learning curve, centered on giving every dollar a job. You can link bank/card accounts for imports or enter transactions manually. It focuses on proactive budgeting rather than subscription cancellation.
A design-forward budgeting and net-worth tracker for the Apple ecosystem with AI-assisted transaction categorization and recurring-charge detection. Links bank/card and investment accounts. Strong choice for iPhone and Mac users who don't need Android.
No Android app — Apple platforms and a limited web app only
A budgeting app from Quicken focused on a real-time spending plan, cash-flow projections, and savings goals. Links bank/card and investment accounts and bills annually. A lower-cost, budgeting-first alternative to PocketGuard Plus.
A free net-worth, spending, and investment tracker that links bank/card and investment accounts. Best for portfolio and retirement visibility rather than subscription control. Because it's funded by Empower's advisory business, expect occasional outreach from financial advisors; there's no bill or subscription cancellation service.
Formerly Personal Capital
A simple, privacy-friendly manual subscription tracker for iPhone. You enter each subscription and renewal date yourself, and it reminds you before billing. No account linking and no recurring fee — the closest match to Gravity on privacy, though it doesn't provide cancellation instructions.
A subscription tracker and bill-negotiation service. It links bank/card accounts to surface recurring charges, and its paid tier adds concierge cancellation and a savings team that negotiates larger monthly bills like phone and internet on your behalf.
Yes. PocketGuard is an active app in 2026, with a limited free tier and a Plus plan at $12.99/month or $74.99/year (a lifetime option has also been offered). It links bank/card accounts to sync transactions and calculate its "In My Pocket" spendable number.
Gravity and Bobby. Gravity ($19.99/month or $59.99/year) is an iPhone app that tracks renewals and trials and gives official-source-verified, step-by-step cancellation instructions you follow yourself, with no financial accounts linked. Bobby is a manual iPhone tracker that's free with a small one-time unlock. Both keep your accounts unlinked.
If you want hands-off cancellation, Rocket Money's Premium concierge can contact a provider to cancel for you (it links bank/card accounts), and Hiatus offers similar help on its paid tier. If you'd rather cancel yourself without linking any accounts, Gravity provides verified, step-by-step instructions for each service.
