RX+: Your Unfair Advantage in Rum

Stop overpaying. Stop missing out. Stop guessing what your bottles are worth.

RumX already gives you access to 50+ specialist rum shops across Europe – all in one place. RX+ takes that a step further: it turns RumX into your personal price agent, market analyst, and VIP pass to bottles you won't find anywhere else. Here's what you get for just €5/month.

RX+ turns RumX into your personal rum agent: price alerts that watch 50+ shops for your max price, market values for every bottle and your whole collection, early access to exclusive releases, 1% off every order, daily personalized deals, blind tastings, and a friends review filter. All core features stay free – RX+ is for those who want the edge.

Never Overpay Again: Price Alerts with Your Max Price

The problem: That bottle you've been eyeing? It's listed at different prices across dozens of European shops. Checking them all regularly is a full-time job.

The RX+ solution: Set your maximum price on any rum – and forget about it. RumX monitors 50+ shops around the clock. The moment your rum drops to your price (or below), you get notified instantly.

No more daily shop-hopping. No more "I should have bought it last week." RumX becomes your 24/7 price surveillance agent.

Know What Your Bottles Are Really Worth: Market Value

The problem: You own a bottle of Caroni 1998. Is it worth €800? €1,200? More? Less? And your whole collection – is it growing in value or not?

The RX+ solution: We calculate an estimated market value for every bottle, based on hundreds of thousands of shop data points, verified auction results from our auction house partners, and real user transactions. For individual bottles, you see the current estimated value, price trends over time, and the price range from recent sales.

For your entire collection, you get a live portfolio view – see your total collection value, track how it develops, and identify which bottles are performing best.

Whether you're buying, selling at auction, or just curious – you'll never have to guess again.

First in Line: Early Access & Exclusive Bottles

The problem: The best bottles sell out in minutes. By the time you hear about a release, it's already gone.

The RX+ solution: RX+ members get early access to highly sought-after releases – including our own RumX exclusive bottlings (like the Savanna Grand Arôme 17 Year Single Cask) and rare drops from our shop partners.

On top of that, you get "Your Deals of the Day" – five personalized offers with an exclusive RumX discount on rums that match your taste profile. Refreshed daily. The more you rate and wishlist, the better these picks get.

Save 1% on Every Order

The problem: You've found the best price. But wouldn't it be nice to save even more?

The RX+ solution: As an RX+ member, you automatically save 1% on every single order placed through RumX. This applies on top of the already competitive prices from our 50+ partner shops.

Over time, this adds up – especially if you're a regular buyer. And combined with Your Deals of the Day, the subscription practically pays for itself.

Taste Without Bias: Blind Tastings

The problem: You read the label before you taste. You know the price. You've seen the hype. Can you really judge objectively?

The RX+ solution: Enter a tasting review without selecting a rum first. Taste completely blind – then reveal what was in your glass with a single tap.

Perfect for tasting nights with friends: set up a lineup, share the blind list, and let everyone rate without knowing what they're drinking. The reveal is always the best part.

See What Your Friends Really Think: Friends Reviews Filter

The problem: A rum has 500 community ratings. Great – but what did your friends think?

The RX+ solution: Filter any rum's reviews to show only ratings from people you follow. Instantly see how your trusted circle rated a bottle compared to the broader community consensus.

Because sometimes the opinion of five friends you trust is worth more than five hundred strangers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing & Subscription

How much does RX+ cost?

€5 per month, or choose the annual plan and get 2 months free (€50/year instead of €60). That's less than a single glass of premium rum at most bars – and it pays for itself quickly through the 1% savings and daily deals alone.

Is there a free trial for RX+?

There's no separate trial, but you can see exactly what you're getting before subscribing: market value previews and deal teasers are visible in the app, so you know what's behind the paywall before you commit.

How do I subscribe to RX+?

Open the RumX app, go to your profile, and tap "RX+". Choose monthly or annual, confirm your payment, and you're in – takes less than a minute. RX+ is available on both iOS and Android.

Can I cancel RX+ anytime?

Yes. You can cancel at any time through your App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) subscription settings. Your RX+ features stay active until the end of your current billing period.

What payment methods are accepted for RX+?

RX+ is billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, so all payment methods accepted by your app store work – including credit cards, PayPal, and carrier billing depending on your region.


Features in Detail

How do price alerts work?

Go to any rum's product page and set your desired maximum price. RumX then monitors all 50+ European partner shops around the clock. As soon as that rum is available at or below your price, you receive a push notification. No manual checking required – RumX does the work for you, 24/7.

How many shops does RumX monitor for price alerts?

Over 50 specialist rum retailers across Europe, with real-time stock and price synchronisation. This includes shops in Germany, France, the UK, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Italy, and many more countries. It's the widest rum selection available in one place.

How is the market value of a rum calculated?

We combine hundreds of thousands of data points: current and historical shop prices from our partner network, verified auction results from our auction house partners (including Catawiki, Rum Auctioneer, and RhumAuction), and real transaction prices shared by the community. The result is an estimated fair market value for each bottle – updated regularly as new data comes in.

Can I see the market value of my entire rum collection?

Yes. Every bottle in your collection with sufficient market data gets an estimated value. Your profile shows the total portfolio value, how it changes over time, and which bottles are gaining or losing value. It's like a portfolio tracker for your rum cabinet.

What are "Your Deals of the Day" and how are they personalized?

Every day, RX+ members receive five exclusive offers with a RumX discount on rums matched to their taste profile. The personalization is based on your ratings, wishlist, collection, and browsing behavior – powered by our recommendation engine. The more you use RumX, the better the picks get. Deals refresh every day.

How does the 1% RX+ discount work?

It's automatic. Every order you place through the RumX marketplace gets a 1% discount applied at checkout. This works on top of whatever the shop's price is – so you're always paying less than if you'd bought directly from the shop. No code needed, no minimum order.

How do blind tastings work in the app?

Go to Blind Tastings in your profile. Create a new session and add the rums you (or your host) have selected. Each participant rates the rums without seeing which rum they're tasting – just a number (Rum 1, Rum 2, etc.). When everyone's done, tap "Reveal" and see which rum was which, along with everyone's scores. Perfect for tasting nights where you want honest, unbiased opinions.

Can I use blind tastings with friends who don't have RX+?

You need RX+ to create and manage a blind tasting session. Your friends can participate by entering their reviews through a shared session link, but the setup and reveal is managed by the RX+ member.

What are personal lists?

RX+ members can create custom lists to organize rums however they want – "To buy next", "Favorites under €50", "Tasting evening lineup", or anything else. Think of them as playlists for your rum journey.

What does the friends reviews filter do?

When you look at a rum with hundreds of community ratings, the friends filter lets you see only the reviews from people you follow. This way you can quickly check what your trusted circle thinks about a bottle – and how their opinion compares to the overall community consensus.


RumX Free vs. RX+

Can I still use RumX without RX+?

Absolutely. All core features remain free: browsing the database of 25,000+ rums, reading 280,000+ community reviews, rating rums, managing your collection, buying from the marketplace with price comparison, setting up your wishlist, and participating in the community. RX+ adds premium features on top – it doesn't take anything away.

Account & Technical

Is RX+ available on the RumX website?

RX+ is subscribed through the iOS or Android app. Some RX+ features (like market value data) are also visible on the website when you're logged in, but the full RX+ experience – including blind tastings, deals, and price alerts – is best on the app.

In which countries is RX+ available?

RX+ is available globally wherever the Apple App Store or Google Play Store operates. The marketplace and price alerts cover 50+ European specialist rum shops with delivery to most European countries – the exact availability depends on each shop's shipping policies.

I subscribed but don't see RX+ features. What should I do?

Make sure you're logged into the same RumX account you used to subscribe, and that your app is updated to the latest version. If the issue persists, reach out to us at info@rum-x.com – we'll sort it out.


RX Loyalty Points & Badges

Do I get extra loyalty points with RX+?

Yes. RX+ members receive bonus RX loyalty points every month, in addition to the points you earn through reviews, purchases, and other activities. These points can be redeemed for exclusive rewards, tasting sample sets, and merchandise.

What is the RX+ profile badge?

It's a visible badge on your profile that shows you're an RX+ member. It signals your commitment to the community and gives you a bit of extra recognition among fellow rum enthusiasts.
