In short

Many customers say it changed how they handle money, with zero-based budgeting that is worth the subscription once learned.

Low, upfront fees and good exchange rates for international transfers; accounts blocked in reviews.

Mint-style overview that many moved to from Mint, YNAB or Copilot; accounts that stop syncing.
