Review Summary
Review SummaryCompound tracks your net worth and investments across all your financial accounts, including shared assets and complex holdings, and does it better than any other personal finance app, but it does not handle budgeting or transactions. If you care most about managing and understanding your overall finances and investments (not monthly budgets), this is the app to use.

What is Compound?
What is Compound?Compound fits in the net worth & investment tracking category.
Having used Personal Capital (Empower), Mint, and everything in-between for just shy of a decade, Compound is the first that I feel like actually "gets" me while having the most impressive UI/UX of them all.
Compound is able to track all of your financial accounts (shared and personal), and even allows for breaking down percentage ownership in a shared bank account or angel investment.
It manages direct and fund investments better than any other platform I've seen.
All for free. Have moved everything I own over to Compound. There's no better app out there for managing your personal finances (net worth).

The perfect budgeting pairing with Compound is Copilot Money, it's the best on the market hands-down, just be aware that it is a paid solution. Worthwhile as the enjoyment of using it far outweighs the cost.
