What Rocket Money actually costs over five years

The sticker price is the start of it. Here is what Rocket Money adds up to over one, three and five years, plus the costs that never appear on a pricing page.

Information, not financial advice. Prices and terms change; check the source before you buy.

The five year number

Five years of Rocket Money comes to $420 on premium at $7 a month. Premium is a sliding scale, so the low figure assumes you pick $7. Rocket Money says the range can change and can differ across platforms. Verified 21 July 2026.

Costs that are not on the price list

These do not show up when you sign up, but they show up on your statement.

  • Hidden cost: Bill negotiation costs 35% to 60% of the first year's savings, and it applies to free users too
  • Hidden cost: No annual billing is published, so the subscription runs at the monthly rate indefinitely
  • Hidden cost: FX fees on a UK card, because billing is in US dollars

What you are paying for

For us users who want forgotten subscriptions found and cancelled for them, that is a fair price. A genuinely useful free tier that includes subscription tracking and bill negotiation access. Letting people choose their own premium price is unusually honest, and every payer gets the same features.

A five year total always looks large written down. Judge it against what the tool actually changes, not against the headline on its own.

Plans and tiers

The same five years on Delphina

Delphina's Free plan is £0 for as long as you want it, no card. Wealth Builder is £9.99 a month, so five years is £599.40 if you stay on it the whole time, billed in pounds with no FX fee.

Rocket Money is better at the specific job of hunting down subscriptions and cancelling them, and its free tier is more generous than most. It is a US app aimed at this month's bills, so it has nothing to say about ISAs, SIPPs or whether your retirement date is realistic.

More on Rocket Money

Rocket Money: common questions

It is worth it for us users who want forgotten subscriptions found and cancelled for them. It is a poor buy for anyone who needs bill negotiation is charged at 35% to 60% of the first year's savings if it succeeds, because that is not what it is built to do.

A five year total is worth measuring against something

The point of paying for any of this is a better outcome. Delphina shows you what your pensions and ISAs are actually on course to do, so you can judge whether Rocket Money is earning its fee.
