Moving from Lunch Money to CoPilot
Assembled from both records. Nothing here is an opinion — it is the difference between two rows, written out.
Your data — read this first
Whether Lunch Money can export your transactions is unrecorded. CoPilot records history import as No: your history does not move, and you start from whatever your banks return on connection.

How to do it
- Export from Lunch Money first
Take the transaction export while your subscription is live. The record is unknown on export, so check before you cancel.
- Connect accounts
Find out which of your banks fail before you are billed. CoPilot reaches banks through Plaid, MX, Mastercard, Akoya.
- Rebuild budgets and rules
No app in this index imports another’s budgets or rules. Budgets are quick; rules are worth rebuilding as transactions arrive rather than all at once.
