A general comparison: features of specific banks and spreadsheet templates vary.

Honestly

When an alternative is better

If all your money is on one bank’s cards and its payment history is enough for you, the bank app already does that automatically. Monnex does not connect to banks: operations are recorded by you — in one line, through the bot or by importing a statement.

If you need a fully custom model — your own formulas, reports and charts — a spreadsheet is more flexible. The price of that flexibility is manual work and the risk of formula mistakes.

When Monnex

Monnex fits if…

  • your money is spread across several banks, cash and currencies;
  • you want to see not just a card balance but your whole wealth with investments, property and debts;
  • you want budgets and goals without building formulas;
  • it is easier to text a Telegram bot than to open a spreadsheet.
