Strengths and weaknesses
Revolut
- Free plan covers spending, transfers and budgeting
- One app for spending, saving, investing and travel
- Fast, feature-rich app with instant notifications
- Constant upsells and a crowded interface
- Support can be slow if your account is flagged
- App Store label shows identifiers used for tracking
Revolut packs a lot into one app: multi-currency spending, budgeting tools, savings, investing and travel perks. The free Standard plan is genuinely useful, and paid plans add higher limits and extras. A new AI assistant, AIR, can break down your spending or help cancel subscriptions by chat, starting in the UK. The trade-off is complexity and constant upsells, so keep a traditional bank account as a backup.
Full Revolut review
Tricount
- Free with no ads or daily expense cap
- Handles uneven splits and foreign currencies
- Friends can see what they owe without the app
- Promotes its owner bunq's bank account
- Identifiers are used for tracking
Tricount does one job well: keeping a group trip, a shared flat or a couple's spending fair. Everyone logs what they paid, Tricount works out who owes whom, even across currencies and uneven splits, and payment requests show who has settled. It's free with no ads or expense caps, works offline, and can import your old Splitwise groups. It belongs to the bank bunq, so expect a few nudges toward a bunq account.
