Properteer
Properteer's Utilities section estimates monthly costs for electric, gas, water, internet and trash, shows each utility's provider and billing cycle, and lets you switch services on or off. The totals roll into Finances, which shows the monthly cost of owning the home (mortgage, tax, insurance, upkeep and replacement savings) in one number. Its features page describes estimating and planning bills, not paying them. It runs on iOS, Android and the web. See all features.
doxo
doxo says it lets you pay all your bills with one login across 120,000+ billers, with real-time tracking of payment delivery, free due date reminders and a free mobile app. Payments from a linked bank account are free of delivery fees. doxoPLUS costs $5.99 a month and adds free payments by ACH and most debit cards, plus late fee and overdraft fee protection.
Rocket Money
Rocket Money links checking, savings, credit card and investment accounts and finds your recurring subscriptions and bills. It says a concierge will identify bills that can be lowered and negotiate on your behalf. Its home page claims 10 million+ members and does not list the Premium price or a negotiation fee, so check both before you start.
