If your thinking about using this app but uncertain I would say try to find info online. The first thing you see when you open up is a required login. The second thing, is a pay wall. Then the third thing, is the main UI with a blocking popup saying connect credit cards. You are not allowed to interact with anything until you've fully committed to it. I downloaded the app with the intention of seeing what the features/UI are like before connecting my many banks. But apparently its not allowed.

We do offer a free trial that lets you check out the service before paying as well as explore the different payment options!

Simply the best finances tracking app there is. I tried mint before and was always frustrated how difficult it was to have it spot out the information I wanted from it. Monarch is very customizable, easy to use, thorough, and beautifully designed. Monarch is the first finance app that I have been happy to use and actually find useful. Would recommend!

Transitioned to Monarch after using Mint for over a decade and exploring several free alternatives when it shut down. None could match the ease and robustness of Monarch for viewing and managing my finances. While there can be periodic issues with having reconnect certain accounts (which isn't unique to Monarch), the experience overall is pretty smooth and the filtering and visualization features are really useful for doing financial reviews (especially on desktop). Pricey, but worth the money.

The parts that work, work very well, but there are some serious issues. I can't connect to two of my banks, so I can't update loan information, and manual transaction entries don't update balances. In order to update the balances I have to upload a csv file and if it doesn't work I would have to delete the entire account to fix it.

this app is still far away from Empower for investments management. as a Empower user, since some of my accounts have connection issues, I am considering switching away. tried monarch, but it didn't meet my expectations. the investment allocation is too basic. I expect to see more details about where my money is invested, e.g. core vs growth, large vs small cap. these are all missing. sorry I am not ready to pay $100 for the current shape. Edited
