SubTracker vs Truebill (now Rocket Money) — Honest Comparison (2026)

Our verdict

Truebill rebranded to Rocket Money in 2022 after being acquired by Rocket Companies. The app you knew as Truebill is now called Rocket Money — same workflow, same bank-transaction auto-detection, same Premium cancellation service. SubTracker is the privacy-first alternative for both: a single screenshot of your Apple Subscriptions screen, on-device OCR, no bank login ever.

Who Should Pick Which?

Pick SubTracker if...

People migrating away from Truebill / Rocket Money who want focused subscription tracking without sharing bank data. SubTracker imports your Apple subscriptions from a screenshot in under 60 seconds and provides cancel guides for the services Rocket Money charges Premium fees to cancel for you.

Pick Truebill (now Rocket Money) if...

People who liked Truebill specifically for the hands-off automation — that's all still there under the Rocket Money name. Bank-transaction auto-detection, Premium cancellation service, bill negotiation. If you trust Plaid with your bank login and want one app for budgeting + subscriptions + bills, Rocket Money is the same product Truebill always was, with more polish.

Privacy Comparison

Truebill and Rocket Money are the same product under different names. Both required (and Rocket Money still requires) linking your bank accounts through Plaid. Your transaction data is processed on their servers to detect recurring charges. SubTracker takes the opposite approach: no bank link, no transaction processing, your data never leaves your iPhone. If the bank-linking is what made you uncomfortable with Truebill, that hasn't changed under the Rocket Money name.

Pricing Comparison

Truebill and Rocket Money have the same Premium pricing: $4–12/month (you pick what you pay). SubTracker Pro costs $8.99 for 6 months or $14.99/year. SubTracker is cheaper at every tier, but Rocket Money's Premium includes services SubTracker doesn't offer (bill negotiation, hands-off cancellation). Choose based on whether those Premium services are worth the bank-account access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Did Truebill shut down? Is my Truebill account gone?

Truebill didn't shut down — it was rebranded to Rocket Money in 2022 after Rocket Companies (the mortgage company) acquired it. Your Truebill account became your Rocket Money account automatically. The app is the same, the team is the same, the bank connections are the same.

Q2Why look for a Truebill alternative if Rocket Money is the same app?

People search for Truebill alternatives for the same reasons they searched for Truebill alternatives before the rename: bank-linking concerns, the Premium pricing, wanting a privacy-first option, or just not wanting one company seeing all their finances. The rebrand didn't change those underlying reasons.

Q3Can SubTracker replace what Truebill / Rocket Money did?

Partially. SubTracker handles subscription tracking with reminders and cancel guides — the core thing most Truebill users used the app for. It does NOT do bill negotiation or automatic cancellation on your behalf. If those Premium features were why you used Truebill, SubTracker won't fully replace that, but it covers the tracking + reminder + cancel-guide piece without bank linking.

Q4How does the screenshot import compare to Truebill's bank-transaction detection?

Truebill / Rocket Money sees every recurring charge in your bank account, which is comprehensive but means they see everything else too. SubTracker's screenshot import covers everything in your Apple Subscriptions screen instantly, plus you can manually add non-Apple recurring bills (Netflix on the web, gym memberships, etc). The trade-off is comprehensiveness vs privacy.
