The best Rocket Money alternative
budgeting that grows with you
Rocket Money cancels subscriptions. CountAbout helps you actually budget. Zero-based budgeting, Projected Register Balance, smart auto-categorization that learns your choices, and year-round progress tracking. Real tools for people who want control.
Rocket Money is popular, but it has trade-offs
Rocket Money (formerly Truebill) built its name on subscription cancellation and bill negotiation. But its free tier is limited, its premium plans range from $4–$12/month, and the bill negotiation service charges a percentage of your savings.
CountAbout gives you comprehensive budgeting, automatic bank sync, Quicken import, receipt attachments, and projected balances, all for a flat, transparent price with no hidden fees or upsells.
