monthtomonths vs Emma — Simple expense tracking vs bank-connected spending analysis

About Emma

Emma is a UK-based finance app that connects to your bank accounts to provide spending insights, subscription tracking, and budgeting. The free tier is quite limited — many features like custom categories, export, and detailed analytics require the paid plan at £9.99 per month. Emma is well designed and popular in the UK market, but the reliance on bank connections means you must trust a third party with your banking credentials. The paid tier is also significantly more expensive than alternatives.
