Revolut Metal costs €15.99 a month. That is the starting point for any honest conversation about whether it is worth it. And for a long time, the answer for me was a mild “probably.” Then Revolut quietly expanded the list of premium subscriptions bundled into the membership, and suddenly the maths got a lot more interesting.
I have been a Metal customer for years, initially by accident after a free trial rolled into a paid renewal. I have stayed on it since then, and right now it is the most value I have felt from the subscription, mostly because I am actually using several of the included tools every single week.
Here is the full picture of what you currently get, and honestly, what is and is not worth your time.
Financial Times
This one is aimed squarely at the business crowd, and there is no shame in that. The FT normally costs €45 a month, so if you are already a Metal customer at €15.99 and you are also paying for an FT subscription separately, the decision is straightforward.
Even if you are not a regular reader, having access for free might encourage you to dip in more than you would otherwise.
The Athletic
I have clicked on paywalled Athletic links more times than I can count, cursing each time. It is genuinely good sports coverage, the kind of long-form analysis and inside access that you do not get from free alternatives. It costs around €70 a year on its own. Getting it folded into my Metal subscription means I might finally actually read all those pieces I have been bouncing off.
Perplexity Pro
I use Perplexity constantly. It is an AI-powered search engine that draws on multiple large language models including Claude, ChatGPT and Grok, layering them with web search results to give you sourced, reasonably reliable answers quickly. It is genuinely useful for research, quick comparisons and following threads of information without five browser tabs open.
Perplexity Pro normally costs €22 a month in Ireland. It was added to the Metal benefits in November 2024 and for many people, this single inclusion alone is close to justifying the membership cost. One caveat worth knowing: the free API credits that used to come with Pro access are no longer included, but the core product is still well worth having.
Deep research is fantastic if you have a topic you want to get a, well, deep researched information on.
WeWork
When this first appeared in the benefits list, I was genuinely surprised. WeWork gives you one free day at a location every month, which is worth around €10. I have used mine a fair bit, including at locations in London, and it has opened up some productive shared working situations I would not have had otherwise. A good detail that most people miss: if you are not going to use your monthly credit yourself, you can pass the code to someone else. It unlocks once a month and does not have to be yours to use.
For remote workers or anyone who travels regularly and occasionally needs a proper desk and meeting room environment, this is quietly one of the more practical benefits on the list.
NordVPN Plus
The inclusion of a VPN is almost table stakes for a premium subscription bundle at this point, but NordVPN is a solid choice. You get two years of NordVPN Plus, which would normally cost around €3.99 a month. Using a VPN for general browsing is sensible privacy practice, and NordVPN also gives you access to geo-restricted streaming content across a wide range of countries.
Freeletics Coach
This one genuinely impressed me. I had a set of adjustable weights at home and was running through the same programme a personal trainer gave me years ago, getting increasingly bored with it. Freeletics uses AI to build workouts around what you actually have available, whether that is weights, a bench, resistance bands, a foam roller or just floor space.
The first session threw some unrealistic numbers at me, but after a few adjustments the calibration got it right and it now feels like having a coach on call. It costs around €16 a month on its own and I would not have paid for it. Now that I have it, I genuinely plan to use it consistently and can see myself paying when it eventually comes off the bundle.
Between this and my Gym Monster 2, I really should be losing weight. If only I could get healthy smoothies too.
ClassPass
ClassPass gives you 10 credits a month to book real-life fitness classes, covering everything from yoga and pilates to small-group personal training sessions. Classes cost between 5 and 9 credits typically, so you are looking at one or two sessions per month at most.
But here is the thing that most people overlook: ClassPass also covers Jump Juice Bar smoothies, and this is arguably where a lot of Metal customers quietly get the most value. You can get around €30 worth of smoothies per month through the app. The catch is that you need to pre-book within a specific collection window, and if you miss it, you lose it. It requires a bit of planning and discipline to make it work consistently.
There is also a useful Dublin Airport angle here. If you are travelling regularly, the airport location is actually easier to time because you have a clear departure window to plan around. Book it for just before you head to the gate and you are hitting the timing almost automatically.
Laundryheap
This one is newer to the bundle and genuinely useful once you understand how to use it properly. Laundryheap is a laundry and dry cleaning delivery service with a €10 discount on orders.
The minimum spend is €20, so you are essentially getting an order for a tenner, which is good value. Here is where it gets clever: pricing within the app starts from €2 per item for dry cleaning. If you spread your laundry across multiple smaller orders rather than sending everything at once, you can make the monthly discount go further. It rewards a bit of planning.
Picsart Pro
I used to use Photoshop for occasional edits but found the cost hard to justify for what I actually needed it for. Picsart Pro fills that gap neatly. I use it regularly now for quick mobile edits, resizing images, removing backgrounds from photos and some AI-assisted editing that has genuinely saved time.
It costs around €11 a month on its own. I would not have paid for it separately, but now that it is included I use it most weeks. Background removal alone has become a regular feature of how I work on the go.
Headspace
Headspace is the kind of app that deserves more use than most of us give it. I reach for it mostly when I wake up in the early hours with my mind running, and it reliably gets me back to sleep. There are a hundred other things you could use it for and I probably should. For mental wellbeing alone, I am glad to see it on this list.
MasterClass
The concept of MasterClass is one I have always liked without ever wanting to pay for it. You get video courses from some of the most accomplished people in their fields, filmmaking, writing, cooking, productivity and more.
The level of membership included through Metal does not give you offline downloads, which I discovered the hard way on a recent flight, but there is still more than enough to work through. There are also some gems of classes included as much as are some I’d love to watch that are excluded.
I have been meaning to take the writing tracks seriously. Having access through Metal is probably the push I needed.
Sleep Cycle
Sleep tracking is genuinely useful for certain people and this is a decent app for it. For me, it is one of the more niche inclusions. I follow sleep optimisation fairly closely, particularly around long-haul travel, but I have not made sleep tracking a habit. If you are into it, it is a nice bonus. If you are not already interested, it probably will not convert you.
Tinder Gold
Tinder Gold costs around €20 on its own, so for anyone actively using it, this is one of the straightforward value calculations on the list. I am not in a position to use it, but I appreciate that for single people, this inclusion alone gets you most of the way to justifying Metal over paying for Tinder separately.
Chess.com
I cannot play chess and have no real plan to learn, but I know plenty of people who are serious about it. Premium Chess.com access normally costs around €6 a month. If you are already a member or have been thinking about it, this is a welcome saving.
Is Revolut Metal Actually Worth It?
At €15.99 a month, the maths becomes straightforward the moment you identify even one or two subscriptions on this list that you would otherwise pay for separately. The total stated value of all the included subscriptions currently sits at around €1,200 per year, which is not a realistic number for most people since you will not use everything. But the realistic number does not need to be that high.
For me, Perplexity Pro, Picsart and Freeletics alone cover the monthly cost several times over. WeWork adds genuine value when I need it. ClassPass, Laundryheap and The Athletic are nice wins on top.
If you are already a Metal customer, take a proper look at what is in there because there is a good chance you are leaving value on the table. And if you are considering signing up, the subscription bundle is now a serious part of the argument in its favour.
