Three Join Top 10 Personal Finance App Vendor Ranking
When we look at our personal finances, we like to think that more is better than less. We think the same is true for PYMNTS Ranking of personal finance app providers, so we’re glad to see that this month’s Top 10 includes 13 apps.
As you may have calculated, that means there are tie scores, which means some apps share spots among this elite group of top-ranked apps. Let’s see who they are by checking the math and seeing where things stand this month.
The Top 5
Topping the list is again Carillon, which recorded a total score of 99 this month. It’s a good way to stay on top.
Not far behind we have a tie between two apps that scored 96. Sharing the #2 spot are Robin Hood, who was here last time, and Stash, which moved up one spot in the rankings from last month.
Now occupying third place is Albert Save and spend smarter, which moved up two places.
Right behind and moving just as fast Running, which moves up two places in the ranking and now occupies fourth place.
This means that an application had to give up this place, and that is Acorns Invest Spare Parts, which dropped to fifth place in the standings.
Top 10
In the #6 spot this month we have myWisely Financial Wellness, who jumped and landed there after being ranked eighth last time out.
Gaining ground as fast is Loyalty investments, jumps two places in the rankings and now rests at No. 7
Another back and forth is Emma Budget Manager, who like the two previous contenders won two positions. This app went from tenth to eighth.
To make room for others is SoFi, which slipped two levels and is now ranked No. 9.
To close out this month’s top 10, we have a three-way tie. Sharing this spot in the leaderboard are three apps that didn’t make it last time around but are now part of this elite group: mint, Pro Money and Wallet.
After having just 10 apps in the top 10 last month, we now have 13. This is the kind of gain we love to see in our own personal finance app, and it’s a great way to close the books. on this edition of Ranking of personal finance app providers.
