Tried all paid solutions
Monarch is the best one of them all. No contest.
It has good sides, but…
I feel like I need an onboarding with this app. There are so many things I can and can’t do. And the initial setup instruction is great, but there are so many things I don’t understand how to set up or get to work for me.
My biggest help is notifying me in advance of upcoming bills. Well, it tracks some monthly bills but not others. And I can’t get it to track bills that aren’t the same amount every month, like power or water. It would be nice to find an in-depth tutorial on all of the aspects of the app now that I’m familiar with the basics.
For reference, I’m not an accountant by any means, but I’ve been doing my own budget for 25+ years. I know how finances work. I just need to know how to make this app work for me.

refresh sucks
Great!
I love this app. It has opened my eyes COMPLETELY to my financial situation and where I can improve. The only issue is my bank is strictly Canadian, so there are delays in connection -> delays in transactions updating. But not the end of the world. Great app
One of the better apps I’ve tried
Great for keeping track of where money is going and staying on budget. I especially like that it keeps track on non monthly expenses. I purchased a subscription, but if I want some of the newer features I have to pay extra on top of that. Could use a nicer looking interface. Overall pretty good app.

Data Loss
This company is clearly astro-turfing these reviews. Apple, do something about this.
Tried the paid plan for nine months. Data was literally lost. Duplicate record imports. Regular account disconnections.
Right now I’m stuck in a captcha loop and can’t even access my account.
Support is useless. Don’t believe the fake reviews. Stay away.
And, Apple, do something here to protect your customers!!!!!

Worth it
It’s only 100 dollars a year and I’ve already saved 1000 dollars a month after seeing where my money’s been going
Amazing app
Before this app, I was so frustrated and worn down on budgeting. One night I stayed up researching apps that were out there. This one immediately caught my attention. After so many apps not meeting my needs, I was hesitant but then thought, “what’s the worse I can lose in a 7 day free trial,?” I’m so glad I took a chance. This app meets all my needs and is simply amazing!! I have been telling all my friends and family about it!!

Everything we were missing
Update 1 year late:
We still love it. They continue to tweak and improve and provide great new features to make everyday budgeting and long term planning better!
Original:
We’d skipped from Mint to NerdWallet and looked at countless others searching for an app that would allow us to view and manage all of our finances in one place - and allow us to budget. This is the first app we’ve found that gives us all that and the kitchen sink.
The interface is incredible to use, the customization elements are deliberate, functional, and exactly what we needed.
This is definitely worth every penny.

Doesn’t work
No transaction show up.
Paywall
$15 a month to even use the app. Wish this was more transparent. It’s also unclear whether your partner would also need to pay this $15 fee (which would be absurd)
Reporting
I does a very poor job with producing tabular reports, the graphics are pretty, but not very useful for analysis., Most programs have a variety of reports tracking sounding, by group, and categories by month, or spending versus budget in similar fashion. Otherwise program is great and easy to use.
It great
Easy to see
Budget usability issue in last update
Last update removed the ability click on budget category and see transactions. It only shows the totals and have to sift through transactions to find them. Huge usability issue!
Fantastic Budgeting and Finance App
A great finance and budgeting app that looks clean, easy to use and navigate, and focuses on exactly what it advertises. Great functionality and different options to view everything related to your finances. One of those apps where you are happy to pay for because it provides a great service for the price. I tried a few different ones and nothing matches the simplicity and functionality of Monarch.

Functional
This tracks everything you need and the best part is the account sharing. The UX is not quite there yet, it could use some customization work like moving things around and more themes, but all the functionality is much appreciated. I think the budget part is a little confusing how to set up at the beginning.

Amazing
To put it simple It has everything you need for budgeting worth the money
BRING BACK THE MCP!!
Amazing app, had an incredible MCP that got “blocked by partners”… bring it back!! We want our data freeeeeeeedoommmmmmm
Connection issues that don’t get fixed
Our bank has a known connection issue with all 3 connection platforms. It’s been a month and still broken. It makes the app worthless.
Can’t manage what you don’t measure
Has helped my wife and I align on goals and spending.
