I'm currently trying out Copilot (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/copilot-smart-budgets-bills/id...)

Love the fact that it is a paid app, so my data will not be monetized as a revenue model. Happy to pay for privacy.



"Love the fact that it is a paid app, so my data will not be monetized as a revenue model."

They say no ads. They don't say they won't sell your data.


Under the heading: "Private and safe, like it should be."

"Copilot protects your information with bank-level security and has read-only access from your financial institutions. We treat your personal data like we’d want ours to be treated, which means never selling or sharing it with third parties. Ever."

Thanks for the correction. This wasn't clear from their homepage.


Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to check it out. With that said, just because it's a paid app doesn't mean they can't also sell your information as an additional revenue stream.

Edit: Looks like it's been said already.


Privacy isn't guaranteed. They could take your money AND sell your data.
