Gravity vs Rocket Money (2026): Which Is Worth Paying For?
Rocket Money surfaces recurring charges by linking bank and card accounts, then cancels on your behalf if you pay for Premium. Gravity never touches an account: you add the services you pay for, and it tracks renewals and gives you verified, step-by-step instructions to cancel each one yourself. Every figure below was re-checked against both companies' own pages on 28 August 2026.

Status check, 28 August 2026: Rocket Money is the app that used to be called Truebill — Rocket Companies acquired Truebill in December 2021 and renamed it in 2022. Its help center describes a free plan covering subscription tracking, budgeting and bill reminders, and a Premium membership priced on a sliding scale you choose yourself after a 7-day free trial (commonly quoted at about $7 to $14 a month, and it varies by platform). The Subscription Cancellation Assistant is a Premium feature, not a separate purchase, and cancellations typically take 2 to 10 business days. Bill negotiation is billed on its own terms: a one-time 35 to 60 percent of the first year's savings, charged only when a negotiation succeeds.
Frequently asked questions
Which is better value, Gravity or Rocket Money Premium?↓
Rocket Money Premium is cheaper. Its free plan already lists recurring charges, and Premium is a sliding scale you set yourself, commonly quoted at $7 to $14 a month. Gravity is $19.99/month or $59.99/year, and what you get for the difference is that nothing links to a bank or card account, the list stays on your iPhone, and every service comes with checked, step-by-step cancellation instructions. If price alone decides it, Rocket Money wins and this page will not pretend otherwise.
How much does Rocket Money Premium actually cost?↓
There is no single published number. Rocket Money's help center describes Premium as a sliding scale where you choose what to pay, after a 7-day free trial, and the range is commonly quoted at about $7 to $14 a month; the exact options differ by platform, so check the price the app shows you before you commit. Bill negotiation is charged separately, as a one-time 35 to 60 percent of the first year's savings, and nothing at all if the negotiation fails.
Can Rocket Money cancel a subscription on my behalf?↓
Yes, on Premium. Its help center describes tapping the three dots next to a subscription and choosing 'Cancel this for me', with cancellations typically processed in 2 to 10 business days; you can also choose 'View instructions' and do it yourself. Gravity works the other way around. It never contacts a company on your behalf, it gives you the current steps for that provider and you make the cancellation.
Will Rocket Money catch subscriptions that Gravity would miss?↓
Sometimes, and the reverse is true too. Rocket Money reads the accounts you link, so it surfaces recurring charges you had forgotten about, but only on the cards and accounts you actually connect. Gravity shows exactly what you entered, which means it covers an App Store subscription, a PayPal billing agreement or a card you never link, and misses anything you forget to add. The most complete picture is your phone's own list at Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions plus one tracker you keep current.
What happens to my subscription list if I stop paying for either app?↓
With Gravity the list is stored locally on your iPhone, per its privacy policy, so it goes away when you delete the app and there is no server-side copy to retrieve. Rocket Money keeps your data in its cloud alongside the accounts you linked, so ending Premium drops you back to its free plan rather than deleting anything, and closing the account entirely means asking Rocket Money's support to remove your data. Either way, keep your own note of the renewal dates that matter.
Does it make sense to use Gravity and Rocket Money together?↓
It can, and plenty of people do. Rocket Money's free plan is a reasonable way to spot recurring charges on the cards you are willing to link. Gravity is then where the full list lives, including everything billed outside those accounts, along with the steps to end each one. The cost of that combination is that you have given one company read access to your accounts, which is the exact thing a no-link app exists to avoid.
