Costs that are not on the price list

These do not show up when you sign up, but they show up on your statement.

  • Hidden cost: There is no free plan to fall back to, so keeping access after the trial means paying
  • Hidden cost: Paying monthly costs about 20% more over a year than paying annually
  • Hidden cost: Quartz is not a financial adviser, so any regulated advice you want on what it shows you is a separate cost

What you are paying for

For people with savings, isas, pensions and investments spread across several platforms who want one connected view of how that wealth is really performing, that is a fair price. Broad Open Banking coverage, with 250+ connections across UK banks, investment platforms such as Vanguard, Fidelity, AJ Bell and Trading 212, pension providers such as Aviva, Legal & General and NEST, and Coinbase for crypto. Imports full transaction history from the day each account was opened, so it can calculate a true return after fees, currency, income and inflation rather than just showing today's balance.

A five year total always looks large written down. Judge it against what the tool actually changes, not against the headline on its own.

The same five years on Delphina

Delphina's Free plan is £0 for as long as you want it, no card. Wealth Builder is £9.99 a month, so five years is £599.40 if you stay on it the whole time, billed in pounds with no FX fee.

Quartz is a well-built answer to the question of how your wealth is doing right now, with genuinely useful true-return and fee analysis and an assistant to talk it through. What it does not set out to answer is where that wealth is heading. Delphina is built around that second question: you add your UK accounts yourself, and it projects your cash flow up to 30 years ahead with UK pensions, ISAs and tax modelled in, at Free, £9.99 a month on Wealth Builder or £19.99 a month on Investor. Nothing here is advice.

More on Quartz

Quartz: common questions

It is worth it for people with savings, isas, pensions and investments spread across several platforms who want one connected view of how that wealth is really performing. It is a poor buy for anyone who needs no free plan. after a 14-day trial it costs £16.99 a month or £169.99 a year, which is at the top end for a uk money app, because that is not what it is built to do.

A five year total is worth measuring against something

The point of paying for any of this is a better outcome. Delphina shows you what your pensions and ISAs are actually on course to do, so you can judge whether Quartz is earning its fee.
