A Rocket Money alternative that never asks for your bank login
Short answer: RENEW is a free browser extension for Chrome and Firefox. Instead of connecting your bank account, it reads order confirmations and invoices you open – locally – and reminds you before anything renews.
| Rocket Money | RENEW | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Mobile app and web | Browser extension (Chrome, Firefox) + web dashboard |
| How subscriptions are found | By connecting your bank accounts | From order pages, invoices, bank CSV files you import, or manual entry |
| Bank login needed | Yes, for automatic detection | No |
| Where your data lives | In the provider’s cloud | In your browser (account optional) |
| Licenses, domains, proxies, servers | Mostly bank-visible charges | Yes – including yearly licenses and expiring proxies |
| Price | Free tier and paid premium | Free |
Why people look for an alternative
Connecting a bank account gives an app read access to every transaction. Many people only want reminders before a subscription renews – not a full view of their finances.
Charges paid by PayPal, gift cards or company cards also do not always show up clearly on a bank statement.
How RENEW finds your subscriptions instead
- Open an order confirmation or invoice and click “Capture this page” – price, billing cycle and dates are filled in.
- Turn on automatic detection and RENEW suggests new purchases as you make them – checked only on your device.
- Import a PDF invoice or a bank CSV export once – processed in your browser, never uploaded.
- On proxy, VPS or hosting dashboards, RENEW adds every service in the list with one click.
Switching takes five minutes
- Install RENEW for Chrome or Firefox (free).
- Use “Quick add” for your top services – Netflix, Spotify, Adobe and 140+ more have their logo built in.
- Optional: export your list from your old app as CSV and import it.
- Turn on reminders – RENEW warns you 30, 7 and 1 day before each renewal.
