The verdict

VaultFlow covers spending, bills and net worth in four simple screens, and it does it without asking for your bank password. You import your bank's statement file instead, and duplicates are skipped. Bills remind you before they are due, and the wealth view tracks accounts, cards, investments, property and loans. It needs more manual effort than Monarch, but it costs nothing and keeps your data on your device.

  • Bank statement import with dedupe
  • Bill reminders and paid tracking
  • Net worth with assets and debts
  • Budgets per spending category
  • No ads
  • No account needed
  • Works offline
  • No subscription
