- Actual BudgetActual Budget is free, open source and runs on your own device. We keep your book of account for you. The difference is who looks after the software, and what you want it to do.Read
- Lunch MoneyLunch Money is a small, well-liked budgeting app that handles many currencies. We keep a book of account that never connects to a bank. The difference is where your entries come from.Read
- FreshBooksFreshBooks sends the invoice and takes the payment. We keep the book. The catch for a freelancer with several clients is a number on its cheapest plan.Read
- EmpowerEmpower is a free dashboard for your whole financial life, from retirement accounts to credit cards. We keep a book of account and never ask to see a single one of yours.Read
- Rocket MoneyRocket Money finds your subscriptions, cancels them for you and negotiates your bills. We never touch a bank, so there is no feed to find anything in.Read
- Quicken SimplifiSimplifi is the cheapest of the mainstream money apps, and its feed of linked banks does most of the work. We cost a little more and never ask for a bank login.Read
- Monarch MoneyMonarch is the best-executed answer to the question Mint left behind. We are answering a different question, and the difference starts at the login screen.Read
- YNABYNAB is a method that ships with software. myClerkBook is a record that does not tell you how to live. Both are defensible; only one of them is what you are looking for.Read
- Copilot MoneyCopilot is the most beautifully made app in this category. Beauty is not the axis we are competing on, and there are two harder questions underneath it.Read
- WaveWave has a free tier and we do not. That is the honest headline, and it is also where the comparison starts rather than ends.Read
- QuickBooks SolopreneurIntuit built a product for one-person businesses, four years after buying and closing the last product those people loved. That history is relevant, and so is the pricing.Read
