Strengths and weaknesses
Copilot Money
- Best-in-class design that makes reviewing spending pleasant
- Categorization learns from your corrections
- Strong investment and net worth tracking
- Built around Apple devices first
- Subscription only, with no free tier
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.

VaultFlow
- No bank login and no subscription
- Bills, budgets and net worth in one place
- Export everything as a spreadsheet any time
- No automatic transaction sync
- Apple devices only, with no web or Android app
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.
