Best budget app, only need to change goals feature

Overall, I really like simplicity yet robust feature set of the app. I use this instead of mint now because mint is very clunky and has lots going on. This app works quicker, easier to navigate, and the best feature (monthly budgets) is structured in my opinion the right way. You can see how much left to spend and it works. Also, I can finally use a budgeting app with my spouse that she isn’t confused by!

The best feature for couples is that we both can use the app!

Only feature I think doesn’t work well and if changed would truly set this app apart from everything is the Goals feature. It’s not feasible because if you contribute money to your “car savings” account, that transaction cannot be tracked in your goal category. So every time you put money in particular savings account, the goals category on your budget doesn’t track that expense in the category at all. So, you have to go into goals and manually allocate money there. Goals need to be linked to specific bank accounts so that there’s someway to track when a goal is being fulfilled monthly. Mint does this well and I think you guys should adopt this feature and everyone will use the feature more.

The perfect way to manage my financials and I can tell they’re actively working to make it better!

I’ve tried several financial apps and this is by far the best and most integrated one. All of my accounts seamlessly connect (although I wish they would update faster). I use the iOS app and the browser version on my iPad. I hope they release an iPad version soon. The UI and product experience is great, although I do wish that they made the “planning” experience feel a bit more intuitive and structured. I found it difficult to understand how to set my budgets and where to compare what my typical spending for each expense type was. Even though that was part of the process it wasn’t immediately apparent how to set things and what they meant. It’s still a better experience than any of the other apps I’ve tried. I really like that I can add my fiancé and that we can both begin to see how our combined financials look like. I like that they show what features they are currently working on and allow users to provide input directly. I look forward to using Monarch and to see them improve on an already great experience.

Switched from Mint and very happy so far

After using Mint for 12 years, I decided to look for something different.

I did a lot of research on the current personal finance app landscape and opened up “trial” accounts with about 5 different apps, and Monarch was by far my favorite.

1. Great UX with a clean, pretty, modern UI
2. No ads or having my data sold
3. An app that has tablestake features such as the ability to review transactions (how does Mint still not have this???)
4. Zero-sum budgeting
5. Responsive customer support
6. Open and public product roadmap with the ability to submit and upvote feature requests
7. Auto-categorization that is highly accurate

Additionally, I looked up a lot of their team members on LinkedIn and was happy to see that almost all of them have been there for a long time (pretty uncommon these days in the startup world), plus the CEO is ex-Mint and led their Product team before the Intuit acquisition.

The main “con” that stands out to me is price (Monarch is on the pricey side compared to the competition), but in the grand scheme of things $90 a year is doable for me if it means I don’t have to feel the frustrations I felt with Mint (I spend more than that a night at bars).

Really happy so far that I made the change and looking forward to seeing how the app evolves.
