The state of personal finance apps, 2026

Every figure below is computed from the index as its records stood on 2026-10-22. No survey, no panel, no estimates — 89 listings, 71 attributes, and the prices their own pages published.

Counts exceed the number of listings because 19 apps name more than one aggregator, and 34 name none at all — their record says how many institutions, not whose pipe. Read out of each record’s Connectors value against a fixed list of names; nothing is guessed.

63 of 89 record a paid annual price; 21 more have a genuinely free way in. Median $60; cheapest Percento at $12.99/year; dearest Albert at $19.99/month. The cheapest recurring plan per listing, in USD; one-off and lifetime prices are not comparable and stay in the notes.

Counted as Yes only. Unknown is not in the bar, so every figure is a floor. Left out because they are mostly Unknown, and a bar drawn on a handful of known values would be a guess wearing a chart’s clothes: Lifetime purchase (80 of 89); Multi-currency (67 of 89); Crypto and digital assets (74 of 89); Nested categories (72 of 89); Tags (68 of 89); Receipt attachments (78 of 89).

Closed is a vendor’s own announcement. Unreachable is the weaker, checkable thing: the domain no longer serves the product on the date shown, and nothing was announced. Those listings stay in the index, unlinked, because people still search for them.
