DivvyUpp vs Copilot Money

What Copilot Money is

Copilot Money is a premium tracker. It costs $95 billed yearly, or $7.92 a month, with a one-month free trial[1]. Its site lists iPhone, iPad, Mac and Web[1]. Its "Free to Spend" figure deducts recurring bills before they post. Its help center says recurrings "are already counted as spent even if the transaction has not occurred yet"[2].

The actual difference

Copilot leads with organization. Its homepage sells "all of your accounts, spending, and investments, automatically tracked"[1]. The spending figure is something you meet once you are inside. DivvyUpp starts with the safe-to-spend number, because that is the whole point. You can ask "can I spend $180 tonight?" and get an answer with the reasoning shown. The other difference is the order, not whether the work is automatic. DivvyUpp finds your income and bills in your bank too. It just asks you first, so you have a safe-to-spend number before you connect anything. Then it puts what it found next to what you told it, and you confirm or correct each one.

What DivvyUpp offers

• Verified plan, based on your bank data. See your safe-to-spend number even before you connect your bank. What do you earn? What do your bills cost? What do you want to save? That is enough to get started. DivvyUpp then checks each answer against your bank and lets you verify your plan before locking it in. (You can edit your plan any time from your profile.)Copilot sells its inputs as "automatically tracked"[1].
• Safe-to-spend number. The home screen answers one question. What is safe to spend right now, once your bills and your savings goal are set aside? You get that figure for today, for this week and for this month. It updates itself as transactions arrive.Copilot deducts a whole month of recurring bills up front[2].
• "Can I Spend?" advisor. Type in an amount and DivvyUpp tells you whether it fits your flexible spending for today, this week and this month. Where it does not fit, DivvyUpp shows what that costs you. What it does to your checking balance, whether it puts your savings goal at risk, and which upcoming bills are at stake. Then it answers safe, caution or over.
• Saving streak. Spend less than your daily amount and DivvyUpp sets the difference aside. A good week turns into a specific amount to move, checked against your real savings balance.
• Automatic fixed versus flexible categorization. Bills like your mortgage, utilities and subscriptions cost roughly the same every month. Those are categorized apart from the spending that varies with your own choices. If a label is wrong, fix it for that one payment or for that store from now on.
• Automatic balance change detection and itemization. A bank can take a day or two to post a card tap, and until then most spending numbers read too high. DivvyUpp watches your balance instead. An unexplained drop is counted as pending spending straight away. You can itemize it yourself as fixed or flexible. Itemized spending is matched up later, when your bank posts those transactions.
• Insights from spending patterns. Repeat spending you may not have noticed, and the days you spend more. Each one shows what it would be worth per month, set next to your savings goal.
• Health View, the periodic step back. A slower look at how much of your pay you are keeping. It compares this period with a typical one for you. It names the stores behind a change. And it only flags what is big enough to matter at what you earn.

What Copilot Money does well

• Unposted bills are deducted. Counting a recurring bill before it lands is the right mechanic[2], and most of the category does not do it.
• Investment tracking. Copilot sells accounts, spending and investments as "automatically tracked"[1]. DivvyUpp does not track investments today, and that is on the roadmap.
