Monefy popularised the same thing we stand for: logging expenses by hand, fast, with no bank. The differences are in everything else: where it runs, how it syncs and what the paid plan costs.

At the core they are similar: both bet on logging every expense by hand in seconds, with no bank connection. The difference is the platform: Monefy lives on the phone (iOS and Android), while Sumant is a web app that works the same on phone, tablet and desktop, with nothing to install.
Monefy syncs using your own Google Drive or Dropbox account, which adds a setup step and ties your data to that provider. With Sumant you sign in with your email and sync just happens: local-first on your device with an encrypted copy on European servers (Frankfurt).
How we look after your data →Monefy works on a Premium subscription to unlock recurring records, custom categories or dark mode (the exact price varies by platform and country; check your app store). In Sumant dark mode is free, category budgets are free, and PRO (recurring, custom categories, unlimited goals, CSV) costs €2.49/month, €24.99/year or €69 once.
See full pricing →If all you want is a phone app with a pie chart and years of habit built around it, Monefy does the job. Sumant fits better if you also work from a computer, want sync without depending on your Drive, and prefer paying in euros (or not paying).
Yes. Monefy exports to CSV and Sumant imports it from Settings → Data, detecting date, amount, category and account, and skipping duplicates if you import twice.
