Which fits your Money Type?

There are four Money Types: Strategist, Spender, Saver and Scrambler. Each card matches one type to what the sources say about these two apps.

Strategist
Simplifi lists investment tracking. That fits a Strategist, who wants to watch the whole plan grow.
First fix: Save the Raise.
Spender
Both EveryDollar and Simplifi list goals. A goal gives a Spender a reason to pause before buying, which is the Sleep on It fix.
First fix: Sleep on It.
Saver
Neither app's sources confirm a feature we match to this type yet, so the quiz is the better place to start.
First fix: Put It to Work.
Scrambler
Both EveryDollar and Simplifi list bank syncing. Seeing every account in one place helps a Scrambler pay bills first.
First fix: Bills First.

Not sure which one you are? Take the free Money Types quiz. It takes about two minutes.

Another option: Fifecta

If neither EveryDollar nor Simplifi feels right, here is one more option to look at. Fifecta gives every paycheck a plan with FUNDS, and it starts from your Money Type, so the plan matches how you already handle money.
