Honest comparison

Comparing money apps? Here's where Skycopia fits.

Mint, Rocket Money, YNAB, Copilot Money, and Monarch are all real, capable apps — and none of them are trying to do what Skycopia does. Skycopia is a free, purpose-built subscription audit: find every recurring charge, get the exact cancel steps, and get alerted if a cancelled service quietly bills you again.

Here's what the audit finds

A sample household's audit — demo data, not a real account. It flagged $2,159/yr in likely waste across unused apps, price hikes, and overlapping services:

  • Peloton Appunused 4 mo
    $528/yr
  • LinkedIn Premiumunused 5 mo
    $480/yr
  • Planet Fitnessunused 3 mo

    $276/yr
  • The New York Timesprice ↑ 21%

  • HBO Maxoverlaps Disney+

One user's own audit flagged $19,207/yr across 62 recurring charges — real numbers, July 2026. Yours will vary; that's the point.

FAQ

What's the best free alternative to a paid budgeting app?

It depends what you actually use the app for. Rocket Money, YNAB, Copilot Money, and Monarch all have real strengths — bill negotiation, envelope budgeting, AI-tagged budgets, or all-in-one net worth tracking. If what you mainly want is to find and cancel subscriptions you forgot about, Skycopia does that one job for free, with a real cancel playbook and re-charge protection none of the five above build in.

Do any of these apps already find my subscriptions?

Rocket Money, Copilot Money, and Monarch all detect recurring charges as part of their normal transaction tracking, and Mint used to as a dedicated feature before Intuit shut it down. Where all of them stop is the next step: none hand you the actual cancel steps for what they find, and none watch afterward to catch a cancelled service quietly billing you again — the two things Skycopia is built specifically to do.

Is Skycopia trying to replace my budgeting app?

No. Skycopia is deliberately narrow — a free subscription audit, not a full budgeting or net-worth suite. If you want envelope budgeting (YNAB), bill negotiation (Rocket Money), or an all-in-one net-worth dashboard (Copilot Money, Monarch), those apps do that job better. Skycopia is worth running alongside whichever one you pick, or on its own if subscriptions are your actual problem.

How much does Skycopia cost?

The audit is free — connect your bank and see everything Skycopia finds, no credit card. Pro ($15/month) adds Protection guarding, refund tracking, and the shared household. Insider ($25/month) unlocks everything in beta, including Sky AI chat. See the full plan comparison for what's included at each tier.

Is Skycopia safe to connect to my bank?

Bank access is read-only through Plaid — the same connection used by apps like Venmo and Robinhood. Skycopia can see transactions to find subscriptions; it can't move money. Your transactions are never used to train AI, and there are no advertising or credit-offer partners looking at your data.
