If I knew in August, when I decided to try this app, what I know now, I would not have allowed a subscription to go through. A one week free trial is not long enough to learn that this app is subpar and a major hassle. I have nothing but problems with connecting accounts and it staying up to date. The online version is a better display than on a phone screen. But if it is not going to help me track my numbers consistently, then why bother? What a waste of money.

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, while most banks connect seamlessly, not all financial institutions work well with our data providers. We never want anyone stuck in a subscription that isn’t working for them, so we do offer a money-back guarantee. Please reach out to us at support@monarchmoney.com, so we can help.

If your thinking about using this app but uncertain I would say try to find info online. The first thing you see when you open up is a required login. The second thing, is a pay wall. Then the third thing, is the main UI with a blocking popup saying connect credit cards. You are not allowed to interact with anything until you've fully committed to it. I downloaded the app with the intention of seeing what the features/UI are like before connecting my many banks. But apparently its not allowed.

Literally can't even check it out without hitting a pay wall. As others have said, you can't do anything until you create an account, and fork over your credit card info. Yea there's a "free trial" but payment info is still required because they know most people forget to cancel. It's also $100 a year /$15 a month. Which is probably the most expensive budget app out there. Find something else.
