Great for kids
This app has the makings for being something great. Unfortunately, adults that have multiple accounts - more than 5 - can’t use this app, efficiently.
Unfortunately, you can’t learn that until after you pay for the app. The cost does NOT outweigh the benefit.
To add to this, within an hour of paying for the app, I sent an email to the app owners requesting a refund due to the app not being useful and not advertising the low amount of accounts that can be connected.
It’s been 4-5 days and I’ve received zero communication.
If you’re a college kid and you only have one or two accounts, this app is very likely perfect for you. If you’ve been on this planet for more than 30 years and have more than 5 accounts, look elsewhere.

Too much locked behind a pay wall
I’ve never been able to find a finance tracker that does what I want. This app seemed really promising for what I was looking for but I can’t even try it out without paying. Adding widgets, dashboards, or even manual transactions is locked behind a paywall. I passed on the free trial, now the only option I get is a 1 year discount with no trial. But even if I could get the trial, I feel like your app should still have some basic functionality that I can use for free. (Examples: at least 1 full dashboard of widgets so you can try all the widgets, manually adding transactions, etc) And advanced features that make me want to pay. (Ai, bank connect, etc)
Otherwise people like me won’t even give your app a chance.

Hi there thanks for trying Bento and you highlighted a bug I’ll be fixing as soon as possible. You should always have access to try the app for free for 7 days and not redeem the offer.
Feels good to use
Really liked how I could make my own dashboards and move widgets around. I was a Monarch user and they don’t let you customize

Looks good but unable to connect bank accounts
Looks good and amazing, however after several tries to connect to my bank accounts (Scotia, RBC, Wealthsimple) was giving error and decided to delete account and delete app

Hi there, thanks for giving Bento a try! Sorry you had trouble connecting your accounts. These connections are handled by Plaid, and unfortunately, some Canadian banks have higher failure rates which is outside of Bento’s control. Hopefully reliability improves soon so you can consider giving Bento another try!
Amazing app!
Ive never seen a budgeting app this flexible and easy to use! Switched from Monarch to Bento and not looking back.
