Copilot

65
Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Copilot is a powerful personal finance tracker with a clean design and strong budgeting features, but its value is significantly hampered by persistent syncing issues, unreliable account connections, and unresponsive customer support, especially given its premium price.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $750 4.8★ lifetime (29,742) since 2019

Copilot offers robust money tracking, budgeting, and forecasting, praised for its intuitive UI and ability to consolidate financial data. However, frequent connectivity problems, data inaccuracies, and slow feature development, combined with a high annual subscription, lead to user frustration and questions about its overall value.

Free vs paid

Reviews indicate that Copilot does not offer a free version, requiring users to pay for a subscription to access any features R113R132. Users report being asked to subscribe after spending time manually adding accounts, only to find they cannot proceed without payment R113. The app's pricing is noted as high, with users paying around $95-$100 per year R21R30R115.

Value complaints

  • The app is considered expensive, especially given its frequent bugs, syncing issues, and slow feature development, with many users feeling the $95-$100 annual fee is not justified by the quality of service.R4R17R26R30
  • There is no free version, which frustrates users who spend time setting up accounts only to hit a paywall.R113R132
  • Users report constant, intrusive requests for reviews, even after paying for the app and providing high ratings, which negatively impacts their experience.R61R74R77R82
  • The app's reliance on Plaid for account syncing is a major point of contention, as Plaid's unreliability often leads to broken connections and data inaccuracies, making the app's core functionality unstable.R41R115R220

Where it delivers

  • Copilot is highly praised for its clean, intuitive user interface and overall design, making financial tracking visually appealing and easy to navigate.R11R21R25R27
  • It excels at consolidating transactions and balances from various financial accounts, including credit cards, Venmo, and investments, into one place, providing a comprehensive overview of finances.R6R12R21R29
  • Users find it effective for budgeting, categorizing transactions, and setting financial goals, helping them understand spending habits and make better financial decisions.R6R12R29R38
  • Some users report positive experiences with customer support, finding it prompt and helpful in resolving issues.R18R25R28R38
Worth paying if

It's worth paying for Copilot if you prioritize a clean, intuitive iOS-native interface for tracking expenses and setting budgets, and if you are willing to tolerate frequent syncing issues and potentially unresponsive customer support R6R11R29. It is particularly useful for those who want to consolidate transactions across multiple accounts, including credit cards, Venmo, and investment accounts, and appreciate features like transaction categorization and goal setting R6R12R21.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip Copilot if you require reliable, real-time syncing across all your financial institutions, as many users report constant connectivity problems, duplicate transactions, and accounts failing to update R4R7R9R15. It's also not suitable if you need robust customer support, as many reviews highlight slow, unhelpful, or bot-only assistance R4R7R17. Those needing advanced budgeting features like transaction matching, bulk renaming, or detailed reporting should look elsewhere, as these are often cited as missing or poorly implemented R9.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating of 4.75 is significantly higher than what recent reviews suggest, which are heavily skewed towards negative experiences, particularly regarding syncing issues and customer support. Many positive reviews are short and lack detail, while negative reviews provide extensive explanations of problems.

  1. [R4] 1/5 · US Many syncing issues: I have been using this app since late last year. Still, there are various syncing issues consistently. For example, the current one is that the transactions of my bank accounts from jan to April are not showing which distorts my finance picture significantly. Also, when I reached out for customer service (only chat box available no call) has been slow and quite often cannot so
  2. [R17] 1/5 · US Expensive and doesn’t work: They deleted my last review, but for $95 a year the app should actually work 100% of the time. Accounts constantly need reconnection. Their ai support agent hallucinates and I haven’t been able to get in touch with a real person. I will be looking for alternatives.
  3. [R26] 3/5 · US Good, but feels like they gave up: Mostly good, but slow to implement basic features. It feels like they did a sprint to launch and stopped improving it. Disappointed given the premium price point.
  4. [R30] 1/5 · US Only get if you like it as-is: New “features” are developed at a snails pace. They also took away the ability to see and vote on what features we (users) want to see in the app. No way to see the status of bugs and feedback or updates on concerns is nonexistent. 95$ a year is way too expensive for an app that is not improving at all and wishes it is as great as Mint once was.
  5. [R113] 1/5 · US No free version: I added all my accounts manually which took about an hour. When I tried progressing, it wanted to charge me. There’s no free version and it doesn’t tell you that it’s a paid subscription app. If it told me from the beginning that I wouldn’t have been able to use the app without paying, then I wouldn’t have wasted an entire hour for no reason.
  6. [R132] 1/5 · US No free version: App isn’t free and makes you pay just to use it without providing a free version
  7. [R61] 4/5 · US Stop making me type a review: 5 star app except it keeps making me type a review which I don't typically do. It's asked me at least a dozen times in the last couple weeks for a review
  8. [R74] 1/5 · US Fix the daily review problem: The app is great. But every day I get a request to submit a review. That’s why I’m giving it one star.
  9. [R77] 1/5 · US Rating Message every day: Love the app, but I receive the “Write a Review” message seemingly every day. Dropped my rating solely for this reason.
  10. [R82] 1/5 · US App won’t stop asking me for reviews: I’ve used copilot for years. I’m happy with it, but I’m annoyed at the persistent review requests. Every time I open the app I get a pop up to write a review.
  11. [R41] 3/5 · US Relies too much on Plaid services: Started a yearly subscription in the beginning of 2026. Halfway through, my accounts stopped syncing and ruined all the tracking of my investments, categories, and cash flow. And they blamed it on Plaid, the company they used to track your accounts. Shouldn’t build an app that relies heavily on another company that they can’t control. Tried to get a refund, but s
  12. [R115] 3/5 · US Delightful Design Hobbled by Overreliance on Questionable Partners: This would be an incredible app if not for its reliance on Plaid for a significant portion of its functionality. Given Plaid’s track record, there’s no chance that I’ll use it to connect my accounts, and having a partial overview of my financial situation isn’t worth $95 a year. Even in cases where alternatives like Akoya are av
  13. [R220] 3/5 · US Losing the Edge: It started off well. A year ago, it was virtually the only app that had integration with the Apple finance ecosystem (Apple Card, Apple $, Apple Savings). Today, there are other options that achieve the same goal. My biggest complaint has been the integrations - they constantly break and I spent more time authorizing my accounts to sync than actually assessing my financial positio
  14. [R11] 5/5 · US Simplifies Money Management: Intuitive Set up and all the features needed. Ive tried MANY money management tools and as a former user design & support contact, I’m aware of how difficult it is to program something complex yet make it work seamlessly for all user levels. If the app stays this reliable and safe, I’m a customer for life.
  15. [R21] 5/5 · US Best Budget App: After spending 8 years using Mint, then about 5 years using Personal Capital (Empower), I came across this gem! Best budget app I’ve used yet - extremely polished mobile app, and it has everything you need - accounts history, categories, tags, syncs very well with most banks, custom goals. It’s well worth the $95/year! Kudos to the developers as well for creating an easy to use UI
  16. [R25] 5/5 · US Great customer support!: Great ui, website is excellent too, and whenever there are problems, the built in chat support has always been prompt and helpful
  17. [R27] 5/5 · US Amazing app: There’s nothing better to track your finances. Highly recommend
  18. [R6] 5/5 · US Amazing personal finance tracker!: I’ve been using this app for almost a year now and love it. It makes it super easy to see all of my transactions across credit cards, Venmo, and investment accounts in one spot and I love being able to categorize transactions and set a budget for each category. One additional feature I would really like to see my save rate on the cash flow page. I can do some m
  19. [R12] 5/5 · US Amazing App: I use this app along with my husband to track all of our expenses and better budget. It’s great for goal setting and planning ahead. It also helps to handle any transactions we’ve let slip through the cracks. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a better handle of their finances and setting budgets you can stick to.
  20. [R29] 5/5 · US Excellent Feedback: This is a near perfect budgeting app. Worth the price point to pay for service. I’ve finally actually balanced a budget for myself with a few months data going forward I’m very proud of. Couldn’t do this by myself with all my excel spreadsheets. The one stop shop to check on my accounts is great too. Very fun to watch. And the Widget!!! To the see live how I’m doing on my spend
  21. [R38] 5/5 · US Clean design, easy to use, powerful: Indispensable. This is one of my top 3 apps. I’ve never budgeted before but Copilot makes it easy. I finally have complete visibility into my finances in a way that Mint or others could never provide. Support is also fantastic.
  22. [R18] 5/5 · US Great app: Responsive app support after resolving a bug.
  23. [R28] 5/5 · US Flexible and Customizable: This has been a solid app with great support. I like being able to tailor it more closely to my needs.
  24. [R7] 1/5 · US Seeing bugs but no solutions for a long time: The app has terrible issues where my reviewed transactions are lost and having trouble connecting to Fidelity. The customer service team is unprofessional and providing no support or remedition.
  25. [R9] 2/5 · US Decent app but no transaction matching?: I thought the app was pretty good, but it lacked a very basic but essential feature - transaction matching. Huge deal breaker for me! I wasn’t about to sit there and delete duplicate transactions every week. What a nightmare! To be honest, I was about to cancel my Quicken subscription, but quickly realized that Copilot Money fell short. It’s really too bad
  26. [R15] 3/5 · US Good not great: Used to be a great tool when I first started using it. Recently it hasn’t been updating my checking and credit card balances. When reverifying credentials it bugged out and added my accounts again. This skewed my data and gave me a headache. Having to delete and start from scratch.
