The honest euro verdict first
Before you tap “upgrade”: most people in the Eurozone should stay on the free Standard plan. I’ll argue you out of paying before I argue you into it — Revolut’s free tier already does the expensive part (real exchange rate, no foreign fees), and the paid tiers only earn their keep once you outgrow its limits. Here’s every plan in euro, with the test for when paying actually makes sense.
Revolut plans in euro compared
| Plan | Price (EUR) | Key upgrade | Worth it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Free | Real rate, no FX fee (to limits) | Most occasional travelers |
| Plus | ~€3.99/mo | Minor extras, some protection | Few — usually skip |
| Premium | ~€9.99/mo | Unlimited FX, insurance, virtual cards | Frequent travelers past free limits |
| Metal | ~€16.99/mo | Cashback, lounge access | Heavy spenders only |
| Ultra | ~€55/mo | Unlimited lounges, top cashback | Very rarely |

The honest upgrade test
Run your last 12 months. Did you exchange more than ~€1,000/month, withdraw cash often, or pay for separate travel insurance? A “yes” to any one and Premium (~€120/year) pays for itself. Three “no"s and the free plan is the smarter choice — don’t pay to lift limits you never reach. Eyeing Metal ? Its cashback rarely beats €15–20/month, so only the metal-card lovers and heavy spenders should bother.
Why even the free plan matters for travel
On a €2,000 trip, the real interbank rate saves €30–60 versus a typical card’s 1.5–3% foreign markup. Add real-rate ATM withdrawals and fraud-proof disposable cards, and the free plan covers the costly part for nothing.
