Best Net Worth Tracking Apps Compared (2026)

By MoneyMattersDaily Editorial · Published September 1, 2026 · 4 min read

Net worth is the one number that tells you whether you’re actually building wealth or just moving money around — assets minus debts, tracked over time. The apps below all calculate it, but they get there in very different ways: some link every account automatically and show you a live number, others expect you to enter balances by hand, and a few bundle net worth into a much bigger budgeting or investing tool. The right pick depends on how much automation you want and how much you trust an app with read access to your accounts. Pricing and features below are approximate and change; check each app’s current site before signing up.

Empower — best free option with real depth

Empower (formerly Personal Capital) links your bank, credit card, loan, and investment accounts and rolls them into a single net worth number that updates automatically, alongside a genuinely useful investment fee analyzer.

Monarch Money — best if you want budgeting and net worth in one place

Monarch treats net worth as one view inside a broader budgeting app, so you see your monthly spending and your long-term trend line without switching tools.

Copilot Money — best net worth graph and mobile experience

Copilot is a budgeting and net worth app built mobile-first, with a clean animated net worth graph that’s genuinely pleasant to check regularly, and it uses on-device machine learning to categorize spending.

Kubera — best for tracking unconventional assets

Kubera is built for people whose net worth isn’t just bank accounts and index funds — it tracks crypto wallets, domain names, real estate, and even collectibles alongside traditional accounts, with no ads or upsells because the subscription is the entire business model.

YNAB — best if net worth is secondary to changing your spending habits

YNAB is a zero-based budgeting app first, but it includes a net worth report that pulls from the same linked or manually entered accounts you’re already using to budget.

How to actually choose

Start with what you’re actually optimizing for: a free automatic number, a combined budgeting view, a graph you’ll enjoy checking, unconventional assets, or a habit change. If you just want the free number with no upsell pressure you can ignore, Empower does that. If you’d rather track spending and net worth in one paid app, Monarch or Copilot both do it well — Copilot if you’re on iPhone and want the nicer graph, Monarch if you want Android or web too. If your assets go beyond stocks and cash, Kubera is built for exactly that, at a price that reflects it. And if the real issue is your spending habits, YNAB fixes the upstream problem and gives you net worth as a side effect.

One thing to watch across all of them: net worth is a lagging number. It tells you what happened, not what to do next. Checking it monthly is useful; checking it daily mostly just adds anxiety when markets move.
