The gap

People who want to forecast spending, investments, and retirement goals cannot access essential forecasting features in Monarch without paying for high-cost premium tiers. The app gates core financial planning behind expensive subscriptions, leaving budget-conscious users without reliable tools for long-term money management. This creates an opportunity for a simpler, lower-cost alternative that provides forecasting and goal tracking without premium lock-in.
