Goodbye, Simple

[Aithene (Chris Wilson)]

My mistake. Another David mentioned it here:

Monzo vs Zeta vs One Finance?

I know you’ve made your choice with One Finance, but wanted to relay what I see as an absolute Simple replacement. Monzo coupled with the DAS Budget app. The developer of DAS (which is still in Beta) created it specifically for Simple closing, and the expenses and goals are identical. What’s better is that since Monzo has an open API for developers, he integrated it into DAS so transactions in Monzo are pushed to DAS instantly. No more waiting on Plaid to sync, etc. It’s basically Simple re-inve…

But it pushed me to look outwards, and I ran across this article on Das Budget. It does look interesting.

Hands-on: New budgeting app is a drop-in replacement for Simple, and I love it

While I prefer my tools in the account itself, I can see the benefits of having an app that handles all of your accounts and moves from bank to bank with you. I never expected to have to change banks (I signed with Simple originally just because I wanted a 100% online bank I wouldn’t have to leave the next time I moved), but I guess you just never know.
