The verdict

Copilot Money is the best-looking finance app on Apple devices. It sorts transactions with categorization that improves as you review them, tracks investments and recurring bills, and shows where your month is heading at a glance. The native Mac app is excellent. The catch: it is built for Apple users first, and there is no free tier once the trial ends.

  • Native iPhone and Mac apps
  • Smart transaction categorization
  • Investment and recurring bill tracking
  • Monthly spending pace view
  • No ads
