Why people choose Debt Driver
The differences that matter most when your goal is getting out of debt — fast.
Built for paying off debt, not finding subscriptions
Rocket Money is great at finding and canceling subscriptions and watching your spending. Debt Driver is built for one specific job: telling you exactly which debt to pay first, how much extra to send, and when you will actually be debt-free.
No bank linking, no aggregator
Rocket Money has to link to your bank to find your subscriptions and track spending. Debt Driver works without a bank connection — you enter your debts directly. Your accounts stay private and your financial data is never pulled in by an aggregator.
Snowball vs. avalanche, done for you
Rocket Money does not have a built-in debt payoff strategy. Debt Driver runs both snowball and avalanche with your real numbers, recommends the one that fits your situation, and turns it into a short list of weekly tasks.
Zero incentive to keep you in debt
Rocket Money is owned by the same parent as Rocket Loans, which sells personal loans for debt consolidation, and Rocket Mortgage. Debt Driver has no other lending products and earns nothing if you take on more debt. Our only business model is helping you pay debt off and stay out of it.
