Spenday vs Emma
Emma connects to your bank accounts through Open Banking to show your spending in one place. Spenday works without connecting to your bank, and turns your pay into one number: what's safe to spend today.
| Spenday | Emma | |
|---|---|---|
| The idea | Savings first, then one safe-to-spend number for today | See all your accounts and subscriptions in one place |
| How transactions get in | Quick manual entry, or Smart Capture from bank texts on your phone | Open Banking connection to your accounts |
| To get started | None: no account, no bank login | Account, with bank linking |
Choose Spenday if…
- You'd rather check one number than manage a full budget.
- You don't want to hand over your bank login.
- You want savings taken care of first, not with whatever's left.
- You want your data on your phone, with no account to create.
Choose Emma if…
You want all your UK bank accounts pulled into one app automatically through Open Banking.
