It is free on the mobile apps and Telegram (AI pay-as-you-go), or on the web from $3/month, and Premium at $20/month connects banks in the US, Canada, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, so transactions come in on their own. The rest of this list is ranked on how well each option fits individuals.

Empower Personal Dashboard
Free (dashboard)Empower Personal Dashboard (formerly Personal Capital) is the free pick for investment and net-worth tracking, with retirement and fee-analysis tools and live bank and brokerage sync. Its budgeting is weak, it is US and USD only, and it funds itself by upselling paid wealth management.
