DuetWallet vs Copilot Money
DuetWallet for couples who want a guided weekly money conversation and private personal envelopes. Copilot Money for an individual who wants the most polished automatic tracking, AI categorization, and net-worth view on Apple devices.
TL;DR
- Want a weekly ritual to get on the same page as a couple? Pick DuetWallet.
- Want best-in-class solo tracking and AI auto-categorization on iPhone/Mac? Pick Copilot.
- Copilot is solo-first. Partner access is one shared login, not separate profiles. DuetWallet is built for two people from the ground up.
- Copilot is roughly 2x the price and Apple-only (no Android); DuetWallet is iOS-only today too, but cheaper and couple-focused.

Who should pick which
Pick DuetWallet if…
- You and your partner have never had a structured money conversation
- You want shared goals plus a private space each, not one merged login
- You want a weekly ritual that builds alignment, not just charts
Pick Copilot Money if…
- You're mostly tracking your own finances and live in the Apple ecosystem
- Automatic sync and smart AI categorization matter more than a couples workflow
- You want investments and net worth tracked alongside spending, and the polish is worth ~$13/mo
Honestly? Use a spreadsheet if…
- You're spreadsheet-literate and already have a working system
- You'd rather no third-party app connect to your bank accounts
- You only need a monthly tally, not an app or a ritual

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Copilot Money work for couples?
Not really by design. You can share access by forwarding a Magic Link, but that's one account both partners log into with full control. There are no separate profiles or private spaces. DuetWallet is built for two from the start, with shared and private envelopes for each person.
Is DuetWallet cheaper than Copilot Money?
Yes. Copilot Money is $13/month or $95/year. DuetWallet is $6.99/month or $49.99/year with both partners included.
Does either app have an Android version?
No. Copilot Money is iPhone, iPad, Mac, and web (no Android). DuetWallet is iOS-only at launch. If you need Android today, neither is the right fit.
Can DuetWallet automatically import my transactions like Copilot?
Not at launch. Copilot's strength is automatic bank sync and AI categorization. DuetWallet is conversation-first and starts manual; if hands-off auto-tracking is your priority, Copilot does that better today.
