When to choose each one

Choose Monefy if…

  • You only want to log what comes in and goes out, nothing more.

  • You have, or want to track, investments (crypto, stocks, ETFs, funds) and debts.
  • You handle several currencies or international accounts.

What they have in common (and why it matters)

Both are manual by design: neither asks for your bank credentials. Logging by hand makes you aware of your spending and works with any bank, cash, accounts outside your country or assets that don't show up in online banking. It is more private and more flexible than apps that connect to your bank.
