DayGist vs Copilot Money
Copilot is a beautifully designed budgeting app. DayGist skips the app entirely and texts you your balances every morning.
Copilot Money is a personal finance app for iOS (and recently web) with spending insights, subscription tracking, and investment monitoring. It's well-regarded for design but costs $14.99/month or $95/year.

Why people switch to DayGist
- •Copilot costs 3x more than DayGist. If you mainly want to know your balances each morning, you don't need the extra features.
- •Copilot is iOS-only (with a web beta). DayGist works on any phone with text messaging — iPhone, Android, or a flip phone.
- •Copilot requires opening an app. DayGist arrives in your messages — the same place your texts, iMessages, and group chats already live.
- •DayGist never stores your financial data. Copilot stores your complete transaction and investment history in their cloud.
- •If you've tried Copilot and found yourself not opening it, DayGist solves that problem by coming to you instead.
