MoneyPilot charges a subscription to find class action settlements, file claims and flag forgotten recurring charges. The question most people ask before signing up is whether it'll cost more than it brings back. That depends on the person, and a good part of the answer is available before paying anything. Here's how plans, renewals, cancellations and refunds work under MoneyPilot's Terms and help pages.

At a glance

What's free and what's paid

The discovery side costs nothing. MoneyPilot's cost guide says anyone can take the eligibility quiz and see every settlement they match, with estimated payout ranges, without entering a card.

MoneyPilot's cost guide says the subscription covers the work that comes after: claim submission, deadline alerts, payout tracking and a scanner that checks linked accounts for recurring charges. MoneyPilot says the bank connection runs through Plaid with read-only access, so it can see transactions but can't move money.

That split matters because filing a class action claim yourself is always free. Each settlement has its own website and form, and the money comes from the settlement fund, not from any app. What a service like this really sells is time and fewer missed deadlines. A 2019 Federal Trade Commission study of settlements that required claims found a median claims rate of just 9% among people who received a direct notice.

Plans, renewals and price changes

MoneyPilot's Terms describe monthly, quarterly and six-month billing options. Plans renew automatically at the end of each period, and the payment method on file is charged at the start of the next one, plus any applicable taxes. On Apple's U.S. App Store, the listing shows $19.99 for the monthly subscription, $44.99 for quarterly and $59.99 for six months as of October 2026. Those are App Store prices, so web checkout and Google Play may differ. The listing also sells optional extras, such as "Priority Filling" ($9.99) and "Subscription Manager" ($19.99).

MoneyPilot may change prices with at least 30 days' notice, and promotional prices renew at the standard rate.

Cancelling

Cancelling is allowed at any time, and it stops future billing without counting as a refund request. The Terms point members to the cancellation flow in their account or an email to support@moneypilot.com from the account address. MoneyPilot aims to process requests within two business days, and access continues until the paid period ends. Its cancellation guide adds that a subscription started through the Apple App Store or Google Play has to be cancelled through that same store.

Claims already filed don't disappear. MoneyPilot says they stay with the settlement administrator and still pay out if approved.

Refunds and what's final

Refund requests for subscription fees have to reach support within 30 days of the original charge, and after that the fee is non-refundable. A request inside that window isn't automatically approved, and if one is, paid features switch off immediately. Charges billed through the App Store or Google Play follow that store's refund process. Add-ons and upsells, such as premium reports and additional claim packages, are final sale. Verified billing errors, like a duplicate charge, get corrected whatever the timing.

A hypothetical break-even check

The simplest test is to compare the price shown at checkout with the free results. The numbers below are invented for illustration and aren't MoneyPilot's prices or anyone's real results.

Say a quarterly plan cost $60 and the free check showed three claims estimated at $20, $30 and $40. If every claim paid as estimated, the person would be about $30 ahead. If the $40 claim were denied, they'd end up $10 behind. Cancelling one forgotten $12-a-month app found by the scanner would save another $36 over the quarter, though settlement money usually arrives months later.

Pros and cons

Pros

• The free eligibility check shows matches and estimates before any payment

FAQ

Is MoneyPilot worth the subscription?

It can be, if approved payouts and cancelled charges end up worth more than the fees. Estimates aren't confirmed money, and someone with one small match may do better filing directly for free.

Can I get a refund?

A refund for a subscription fee can be requested within 30 days of the charge, but approval isn't guaranteed. Add-ons are final sale under MoneyPilot's Terms.

Bottom line

For anyone who'd rather not hunt down settlements and chase deadlines, MoneyPilot can be worth the subscription, but only if approved payouts and real savings end up larger than the fees. The free check shows matches and estimates before any payment, though estimates aren't confirmed returns. Someone with several strong matches has the best chance of coming out ahead.
