| Time-to-first-value | Hours — connect accounts, wait for sync, train categorization | About 5 minutes from quiz to blueprint |
| Quiz-based onboarding | No — onboarding is account linking and category training | Yes — every plan starts with the 60-second quiz |
| ROI-prioritized actions | Spend dashboards and trends, not ranked life-actions | Each blueprint sorts moves by expected payoff |

When Copilot wins
You want a beautiful daily-spend tracker on iOS.
- You live on iOS and want a native app that opens in two taps.
- You want every account aggregated — checking, credit, brokerage, crypto — in one place.
- AI-categorized spend trends are how you stay on top of money.
- You're happy paying ~$13/mo for a tool you open most days.
When MoneySmith wins
You want a one-time blueprint, not a daily aggregator.
- You already know roughly where your money goes — you want to know which moves to make first.
- You want an AI coach for ad-hoc decisions: raise asks, debt payoff order, side-income picks.
- You don't want to link bank accounts or wait days for AI categorization to settle.
- You'd rather pay $19 once and decide on a tier after you see the blueprint.

Common questions
Are you affiliated with Copilot Money?
No. MoneySmith is an independent product. This page is an honest comparison so a shopper can decide which approach fits them — not an endorsement, partnership, or attack. Every cell about Copilot is either a public fact from copilot.money or hedged with a 'see their site' note when terms drift.
Will I get a refund if I don't like MoneySmith?
Yes. Every paid MoneySmith plan is covered by a 3-day money-back guarantee. Email hello@moneysmith.agency within 3 days of the charge and we refund in full. See /refund for the full policy.
Can I use both?
Yes — they solve different problems. Many MoneySmith users keep Copilot for daily spend tracking and investment aggregation, and use MoneySmith for the once-a-quarter strategic blueprint and the AI coach for ad-hoc decisions. They stack cleanly.
Is MoneySmith a financial advisor?
No. MoneySmith is a planning aide. We're not licensed financial advisors and we don't give regulated financial advice. For decisions that need a fiduciary (retirement planning, complex tax, estate planning), see a CFP. The MoneySmith blueprint helps you get organized for those conversations.
Coach vs app — what's the difference?
An aggregator app shows you where your money already went. A coach helps you decide what to do next — debt payoff order, raise-ask script, index-fund allocation, side-income pick — based on your situation. Copilot is best-in-class for the first job. MoneySmith is built for the second.
