Review scores by platform

Scores are whatever the platform showed on the date given. They move.

What reviewers praise

  • Reviewers who stay like the shared household view and the clean design
  • Monarch's own site advertises a 4.9 rating from over 100,000 app store reviews, which is a vendor claim rather than an independent one

What reviewers complain about

  • Bank and brokerage connections breaking, with Fidelity named repeatedly
  • Duplicate transactions from certain card providers
  • Customer support response times

In reviewers’ own words

I liked Monarch when I first started using it, but it has so many problems that it has become unusable.

Trustpilot review, 24 January 2026(opens in a new tab)

What reviewers keep asking for

  • Nothing that models UK pensions, ISAs or UK tax
  • No answer for a UK household on whether they can afford to retire
  • Scenario planning locked behind the more expensive tier

How it compares feature by feature

This page is about what users say. For the feature comparison, see Delphina vs Monarch Money.

What reviewers asked for that is missing

Those requests are roughly what Delphina is for. It is UK-first, so pensions, ISAs and UK tax are the default rather than a workaround, and the projections run to retirement rather than to month end.

It is not a replacement for what Monarch Money is good at, and plenty of people sensibly run both. The free plan is £0, no card.

More on Monarch Money

Monarch Money: common questions

Yes. Monarch Money is an established product in the budgeting category, with 24 reviews, on an unclaimed profile on Trustpilot.

The question reviews cannot answer for you

No review tells you whether you personally are on track. That depends on your pensions, your ISAs and when you want to stop. Delphina works it out from your own numbers.
