  • Simple to use and powerful yet somewhat limited in its budgeting capabilities

    Monarch is a great app with many options (reviewing transactions, setting up accounts, setting up goals, etc). It surfaces insights on how you are spending brilliantly and is cross platform. It also doesn’t require a lot of regular effort from users to adapt to budgeting. However its budgeting is only monthly and the data connectors don’t support all financial platforms.
  • Much Room for Improvement

    The app is okay. It lacks in three main areas: 1) you can’t disable notifications even through there are settings to do so. It just doesn’t work and tech support dismisses requests to have it fixed. 2) you can’t get a basic overall Account by Account Balance summary report for printing or emailing. Again, teeth support doesn’t feel this is worth creating. 3) certain institutions do not auto update. You have to continually reconnect the account through either Plaid or MX. This is annoying. Other than this, it is slightly better than Mint was.
  • Impossible to work on

    Do no purchase this app. It takes more than a minute to load my data. In that time the app is basically frozen until your data loads (on just that one tab) It's been like this since September of 2024. Even the website started to take 10-30 seconds to load my data. How is it that a $15/month subscription app has this much lag?
  • Way better than Mint

    I used the Mint app for years for tracking personal finances. Now I’m a business owner and this app really allows me to tie in all person and business accounts, credit cards, assets, investments, and debts. It’s great if you like to steadily track net worth. The app looks great and is easy to operate. I love this app and honestly cannot recommend it more.
  • A-Game Changer for our Finances!

    We’ve been using Monarch for over a year now, and it has truly been a life-changer in managing our finances. The app helps us keep all aspects of our finances in check with ease. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, making it simple to track spending, net worth, and investments. What sets Monarch apart is the constant updates they roll out always adding new features that truly feel like they are designed with their customers in mind. This is a company that puts users first. Thank you Monarch for helping us stay on top of our financial goals! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to take control of their finances!
  • Best Financial Management App!!

    I’ve tried many different apps to manage our finances and have relied upon my own spreadsheets as no app met all my needs. Monarch definitely meets requirements!! And the best part is Monarch is not using their app to sell other products! I highly recommend Monarch for budgeting, goal setting, monitoring, etc!! Great app!!!
  • Doesn’t allow zero-based budgeting

    I heard so many great things about Monarch Money and that it links to Apple Card. I was excited to try it out. I signed up for the free trial and started making my budget only to find out you must round your budgets to the nearest dollar. I like to put in the exact amounts for things like car/mortgage/phone/subscription budgets, but with this, I’ll always end up with extra cents left over in the budget each month. This alone was enough for me to cancel the free trial and continue using my current budgeting app. I’d be willing to try the app again in the future if this feature was added. Thanks!
  • Superb tool

    Im really pleased with how simple and comprehensive Monarch Money is to use. With it I get a complete overview of all our expenses and can see any fees and charges that are coming in. I also enjoy using the desktop application.

    I swapped to Monarch after Mint ended its services.
  • Doesn’t work

    The app doesn’t provide accurate data. Our instruments total is off and they can’t/won’t fix the bug. Very poor customer service and how is an app like this useful if it won’t show the correct totals? Wish Mint was still around 😥
