vsRocket MoneyA Rocket Money alternative that also splits expenses and tracks investments

Key takeaways
- Both apps detect and cancel subscriptions and negotiate bills on your behalf; Cove's versions of both are in beta.
- Cove also splits shared expenses with a partner or roommates; Rocket Money has no built-in splitting.
- Cove tracks your investments alongside spending and net worth; Rocket Money's investment tracking is limited.
- Both offer a free plan. Cove's bill negotiation is in beta and part of Premium.
