Copilot Money suits people who want a budget that mostly keeps itself up to date. Its money assistant cleans up messy bank data, such as wrong categories and unmatched refunds, and it can run standing instructions like tagging every charge on a trip. When your habits change, for example spending less on gas and more on transit, it suggests a budget change and waits for you to approve it. Your first budget is based on your real spending, categories can carry their own colors and emojis, and alerts warn you about low balances or big charges. Copilot also tracks investments, net worth and subscriptions, and shows what each Amazon order contained and the note on each Venmo payment. There is one plan with no tiers, listed at $109 a year at the time of checking. The limits are platform and sharing: there is no Android app, and household sharing for up to three people is listed as coming this fall.
