Finally, it is way better at downloading stock prices - it still uses Yahoo data, but interestingly it seems to be using a cleaned up data stream because there is no pounds/pence flipping, or pounds/dollar flipping on LSE stocks and ETFs which Banktivity suffered from when it still downloaded Yahoo (until they switched to useless IEX).
Banktivity versus moneydance for mac download#
Moneywiz uses Saltedge, Yodllee, and Plaid to download bank data and that works great too with PSD2 - new transactions just pop into your account automatically. It also downloads currencies automatically in the background - and works with a far wider range of currencies than Banktivity - "Updating Currencies" on Banktivity takes nearly a minute - and even then it is not very complete. It just happens automatically, almost instantly - no clunky "exchanging file data" that you get with Banktivity. The biggest wow factor is undoubtedly the amazing sync between desktop and iPhone/iPad. I am now trailing Moneywiz 2020 and first thoughts are that it is very impressive. Add to that the option of hanging on to B7 is tenuous because it seems it is not compatible with Big Sur. Paying $100 per year for such poor connectivity and synch is not value for money. I am starting this thread to share initial thoughts.įirst, my reasons for dissatisfaction with Banktivity are primarily that B8 is just not good value for European users like me because it does not work with PSD2/Open Banking so does not download bank data, and it only has end of day stock quotes and no support for mutual fund prices, currency exchange rates are slow and wonky and the synch between mac and iOs is slow, clunky, troublesome and inaccurate. I'm a dissatisfied Banktivity user so am trialling in parallel Moneywiz to see if I can make the switch.
