MoneyWiz has been around since 2009. Fifteen years of code, 40,000+ banks on paper and a loyal following inside the Apple ecosystem. It does a lot. And it does it well — for a specific profile.

But this is not a feature-by-feature comparison. It is a comparison of two philosophies of personal finance. MoneyWiz treats you like an amateur accountant — it gives you tools, reports, rules, CSV exports. Martia treats you like someone who just wants to ask. You ask "how much did I spend on groceries in March?" — you get the answer. You ask "can I afford a €1,500 holiday in August?" — you get a simulation. Instead of clicking through menus, you have a conversation.

This article is not here to say "MoneyWiz is bad." It is not. It is here to honestly show where MoneyWiz fits brilliantly, and where a European user will pick Martia — and why. If you are on iPhone, you love detailed reports, and a USD subscription does not bother you, this comparison will probably confirm MoneyWiz is right for you. If you would rather ask than click — read on.

What does MoneyWiz offer?

MoneyWiz is a personal finance app built by Bulgarian studio SilverWiz, available exclusively on Apple devices (iOS, iPadOS, macOS). It has been running since 2009 and positions itself as "desktop-grade power on mobile" — a tool for people who want to manage personal finances at a near-bookkeeping level.

What is MoneyWiz?

MoneyWiz is a paid personal finance app available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It connects to over 40,000 banks across 50+ countries through four external data aggregators (Plaid, Yodlee, SaltEdge and a fourth provider). It offers automatic categorisation, 30+ reports with CSV and PDF export, an offline mode, bill forecasting, multi-currency support, and cross-device synchronisation via MoneyWiz Cloud.

What MoneyWiz does better than most competitors

MoneyWiz has a few things younger apps (including Martia) genuinely do not. 30+ detailed reports with export — cashflow forecasts, year-over-year comparisons, category trends. For anyone running quasi-bookkeeping, that is real value. Full offline mode — the app works without internet, data stays local with 256-bit AES encryption. Plus configurable transaction fields and multi-level categories, which let you shape the data around how you think about money. Fifteen years of iteration is not nothing.

MoneyWiz pricing in 2026

MoneyWiz does not offer a free plan. Two subscription tiers: Standard at 29.99 USD/year (no bank connectivity — you import CSVs or type transactions manually) and Premium at 59.99 USD/year or 5.99 USD/month (with bank connectivity). In euros, Premium is roughly €55/year. The subscription includes cross-device sync across up to 15 Apple devices via MoneyWiz Cloud. Full pricing on wiz.money.

The wall European users hit

MoneyWiz advertises 40,000+ banks across 50+ countries through four external aggregators. It does not publish a country-by-country list. Whether a given European bank works depends on whether Plaid, Yodlee, SaltEdge or the fourth provider has an active integration with it — there is no direct PSD2 certification with European banks across the board. In practice, users in Europe report mixed results: some banks work, some are partial, some require manual CSV. This is not a fault of MoneyWiz — it is a consequence of being a global app built around the US market first.

Where does Martia do it better for European users?

Martia is a European personal finance app built from the ground up around two things MoneyWiz does not have: an AI conversation as the primary way you work with your financial data, and Open Banking PSD2 — the European standard for direct bank account access, regulated by the EBA and by national authorities across the EU. It is not more mature than MoneyWiz in raw feature count. It is built around a different philosophy.

You ask Martia — instead of clicking through reports

This is the heart of Martia, not an add-on. Instead of navigating menus, reports and filters, you have a conversation with Martia in natural language. You ask "how much did I spend on groceries in March?" — you get the amount with a breakdown. You ask "can I afford a €1,500 holiday in August?" — you get a simulation that factors in your recurring bills. You ask "show me all transactions over €200 in the last 60 days" — you get the list. MoneyWiz has the same underlying data, but as 30+ configurable reports you navigate to and interpret. Martia replaces "which report do I need now?" with "what do I want to know?"

Direct PSD2 — 2,410+ banks across Europe and the UK

Martia uses GoCardless, a UK provider regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, with certified PSD2 integrations in every EU country and the UK. That means a direct connection to 2,410+ banks across Europe and the UK, including N26, Revolut, Monzo, Wise, ING, HSBC, Commerzbank, BNP Paribas, Santander, Unicredit, Deutsche Bank and many more. No aggregator chain, no trust handoff through US companies. You sign in through your bank's official window, and the app only sees transactions — it cannot initiate payments. For the technical background, read our piece on what open banking is and whether it is safe.

Web-first — runs on any device

Martia runs in the browser. iPhone, Android, Windows, Linux, Mac — all of it. You do not need an Apple device. You do not need to install from an app store. You do not worry about syncing between devices — signing in always shows the same account. MoneyWiz requires iOS 16+, iPadOS 16+ or macOS 12+; on Windows, Android or Linux it simply does not run.

Built for European context

Martia handles euros, pounds and złoty natively. It categorises European merchants correctly — a Rewe transaction in Berlin, a Biedronka in Warsaw, a Sainsbury's in London. Its educational content references ECB, Eurostat and national regulators, not American personal finance assumptions. MoneyWiz is English-only, US-tax-season-aware, and treats European banks as one region among many. For anyone whose primary life is in Europe, the difference in fit is bigger than it looks before using both.

When to switch from MoneyWiz to Martia?

Choosing between MoneyWiz and Martia is not a question of which is better — it is a question of fit. Two profiles, so you know where you stand.

MoneyWiz is for you if...

You are in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone + Mac). You need 30+ detailed reports with CSV and PDF export — maybe you are self-employed and run quasi-bookkeeping. You have accounts outside Europe (US, Asia) and want a single tool for everything. You value offline mode. You have many Apple devices and want sync across all of them. You do not mind an English interface or a 59.99 USD/year subscription. In this profile, MoneyWiz is genuinely strong — 15 years of iteration shows.

Switch to Martia if...

You have 2–4 European bank accounts and want to see them together without worrying about which aggregator covers which bank. You do not have an iPhone or Mac — you use Windows, Android, or you just prefer the browser. You do not want to pay a USD subscription to watch your own money. You want an interface built for European context (SEPA transfers, euros, local merchant names). You are at the "I want the full picture" stage, not "I need 30 exportable reports." If spreadsheets never worked for you, see how budget apps compare to spreadsheets.

The MoneyWiz vs Martia fit test

The MoneyWiz vs Martia fit test is one question: how often do you actually export a report to CSV or PDF? If the answer is "many times a month" — stay with MoneyWiz, that is its real strength. If the answer is "never" or "once a year at tax time" — you are paying for features you do not use. Martia will give you categories and trends in a simpler view, for free, in a European context.

Frequently asked questions

How is Martia's AI chat different from MoneyWiz's reports?

MoneyWiz and Martia show you the same underlying data — transactions from your bank accounts grouped into categories. The difference is how you query it. In MoneyWiz you navigate menus, pick a report from 30+ options, configure filters, interpret a chart. In Martia you write a sentence: "how much did I spend on groceries in March?", "can I afford a €1,500 holiday in August?", "show me all transactions over €200 in the last 60 days." Martia replies with text and data. Instead of "which report do I need now?" — "what do I want to know?" It is a difference of paradigm, not features.

Why choose Martia instead of MoneyWiz?

Two reasons. First, Martia is an AI you talk to about your money — instead of clicking through 30 reports, you ask in natural language. Second, Martia connects to 2,410+ European banks directly through Open Banking PSD2 (via GoCardless, regulated by the FCA) — no middlemen. It runs in any browser on any device, and it is free. MoneyWiz is an Apple-only app in English with a 29.99–59.99 USD annual subscription and connects to banks through external aggregators (Plaid, Yodlee, SaltEdge). The difference is not in feature maturity — but in philosophy and European bank access.

Does MoneyWiz work with European banks?

MoneyWiz advertises over 40,000 banks in 50+ countries through four external data providers (Plaid, Yodlee, SaltEdge and a fourth provider). It does not publish an official list of supported European banks — coverage depends on whether the specific aggregator has a certified link to a given bank. In practice, European users report mixed experiences: some banks work, some do not, some require CSV import. Martia uses GoCardless, which has direct PSD2 certifications in every EU country and the UK, covering major banks such as N26, Revolut, Monzo, Wise, BNP Paribas, Santander, ING, HSBC, Commerzbank and many more.

How hard is migration from MoneyWiz to Martia?

Connecting a bank in Martia takes about two minutes — you sign in through your bank's official window, authorise access for 90 days, and transactions start syncing. You do not need to delete your MoneyWiz account; your historical data can stay there as a CSV or PDF export. CSV import in Martia currently works for a handful of banks, with more parsers in development. If you have years of MoneyWiz history, keep it as an archive — in Martia you start with a clean view.

How much does MoneyWiz cost vs Martia?

MoneyWiz has two plans: Standard at 29.99 USD/year (without bank connectivity) and Premium at 59.99 USD/year or 5.99 USD/month (with bank connectivity). In euros, Premium is roughly €55/year. Martia is free — bank connections, categorisation, multi-account view, all at no cost. No hidden tiers, no upsell.

What does MoneyWiz do that Martia does not (yet)?

Honestly: MoneyWiz has 15 years of feature depth that Martia does not. 30+ advanced reports with CSV and PDF export, full offline mode, custom transaction rules and formulas, multi-currency accounts for travel, calendar forecasts for scheduled bills and standing orders. For self-employed users and anyone running quasi-personal-bookkeeping with deep customisation, MoneyWiz does it better. Martia targets a different profile: the average European user with 2–4 accounts who wants a complete picture and automatic categorisation without configuration.

Is MoneyWiz safe to use in Europe?

MoneyWiz itself encrypts data with 256-bit AES and stores it locally with optional cloud sync across up to 15 devices. The risk sits in the banking integration layer: Plaid and Yodlee are US aggregators without direct PSD2 certification from European regulators, while SaltEdge is European-certified. The chain of trust is longer than with direct PSD2. Martia uses GoCardless, a UK provider regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, with direct PSD2 certifications in every EU country. In Martia you sign in through your bank's own window, and the app only has read-only access to transactions.

Migrate from MoneyWiz to Martia

Keep MoneyWiz as an archive. Connect your European bank accounts to Martia in two minutes via GoCardless PSD2. Browser-based, no subscription, direct access to 2,410+ banks across Europe and the UK.
