Copilot has no native Android app. Here are the alternatives
Copilot Money is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Web, but not as a native Android app. Android users can access its desktop-oriented web app, while Peggy offers native iOS and Android apps with shared wallets for mixed-platform households.
Check platform support, not just the feature list
Copilot's official documentation lists iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Web. Its web app covers most core workflows, but the company says some features still differ by platform. Confirm the exact features you need on the device you plan to use.
Cross-platform couples are the biggest losers
If you're on iPhone and your partner is on Android, you can't both use Copilot. Peggy's shared wallets work across both platforms - you each add expenses from your own device, and both of you see the same budget in real time.

Where Copilot wins
Copilot deserves its strong reputation. Its 4.8★ rating with 27,600+ App Store reviews isn't an accident.
- AI categorization: Copilot learns from synced transactions and the corrections you make. Test it with your own merchants and categories rather than relying on a universal accuracy percentage.
- Design polish: Copilot won an Apple Design Award finalist spot in 2024. The interface is among the most refined in personal finance.
- Mac app: Copilot has a native Mac app. Peggy is mobile-only for now.
- Investment tracking: Copilot connects to brokerage accounts and shows portfolio performance alongside spending.
Where Peggy wins
Voice expense entry
Peggy lets you say "I spent $18 at the pharmacy" and it's logged, categorized, and saved. Copilot has no voice entry - you tap and categorize manually after syncing from the bank.
Shared wallets with roles
Copilot is a single-user app. Peggy supports shared spaces where you and a partner both track expenses in the same wallet. Particularly useful for couples and roommates.
Multi-currency at the transaction level
Peggy tracks every transaction in its original currency and converts to your base currency. Copilot is built for the US market and doesn't support multi-currency.
No bank credentials, ever
Copilot syncs via Plaid - you hand over your bank username and password to a third-party aggregator. Peggy has no bank sync. Voice, screenshot, or manual entry. Your credentials stay with your bank.
Affordable and feature-rich
Copilot is $13/mo (or $95/yr). Peggy costs a fraction of that - and includes Android support, voice entry, and shared wallets that Copilot doesn't offer at any price. Start with a free trial to see for yourself.
For couples where one partner is on Android
This is Peggy's clearest advantage over Copilot. If you're tracking finances as a couple or household, you need an app both people can use. Peggy's shared wallets work cross-platform - iPhone and Android in the same space. One partner can add "bought groceries $67" by voice on Android; the other sees it instantly on iPhone.
Copilot is designed around an individual account and has no native Android app. See our full couples budget app guide for a broader comparison.
