Comparisons

How we compare

Five write-ups, one for each app people weigh us against. Every one of them says what that app does better than we do — you'd find out anyway, and you'd rather hear it here.

Tovari vs YNAB

Our closest rival, at twice the price. You'll get the same rigor here, plus a safe-to-spend number and bills that forecast themselves.

Tovari vs Monarch

Prettier than us, and $45 a year dearer. The catch is you can't check its numbers against your own statement.

Tovari vs Copilot

Beautiful, Apple-only, and it won't open a file. That's a problem the moment one of your banks refuses to connect.

Read the Copilot comparison

Tovari vs Rocket Money

It cancels subscriptions and watches your spending, which isn't the same as budgeting. There's no envelope system in it at all.

Tovari vs Mint

Intuit shut it down in March 2024. If you still haven't replaced it, start here.
