Let's start with the honest part: Copilot Money is a genuinely great app. Beautiful design, smart categorisation, a native feel on Apple devices — it has raised the bar for what personal finance software should look like. If you live in the United States, you should probably just use it.
But if you live in Europe, the conversation is very short: Copilot doesn't work here. It's available in the US only, and its bank connections are built on US aggregators that cannot talk to European banks. No ING, no BNP Paribas, no KBC, no Revolut IBAN, no N26. You could install it on holiday and come home to an app with nothing to sync.
Talvo exists for exactly this gap: the same calm, design-first approach to money — built on European rails. PSD2 open banking, 2,500+ European banks, euros and IBANs as first-class citizens, and your data hosted in the EU under GDPR.
Talvo vs Copilot Money at a glance

The dealbreaker: bank connections
Everything else on this page is detail. This is the decision: a personal finance app lives or dies by whether it can see your accounts.
Copilot connects to banks through US aggregation services — excellent coverage of American institutions, essentially none in Europe. Copilot itself states it is currently available in the US across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Web. There's no EU App Store listing to argue with.
Talvo connects through PSD2 open banking — the EU-regulated framework every European bank is legally required to support — via Enable Banking, a licensed Account Information Service Provider. That means 2,500+ banks across the EU and EEA: the big names, the local savings banks, and the neobanks. Read-only access, authorised at your own bank, revocable any time.
Where the apps agree
Philosophically, Talvo and Copilot are close cousins, which is exactly why this comparison matters for Europeans who've seen Copilot praised online and wondered where the European version is:
- Design first. Both believe a money app should be something you enjoy opening — calm, fast, beautiful.
- Automation with manual override. Both auto-categorise everything and learn from your corrections.
- Budgets that flex. Both support rollover-style budgets rather than rigid resets.
- No selling your data. Both are paid products with a subscription business model, not an ad model.
Where Talvo differs
- Every platform, including Android. Copilot grew up on Apple devices (its web app arrived in late 2025 and is still reaching feature parity), and Android users are out of luck. Talvo runs as a full web app in any browser plus native iOS and Android apps — whatever you own.
- The money-flow Sankey. Talvo's Insights page draws your entire financial life as one flow diagram — income sources → expenses → savings. It's the fastest way we know to understand a year of money in ten seconds.
- European by design, not translation. IBANs, SEPA transfer detection, 21 currencies at daily ECB rates, prices in euros with VAT included, and EU data residency under GDPR — not a US product with a currency switcher.
- A real free plan. Manual accounts, budgets with pace tracking and rollovers, and full Insights are free forever. Bank sync is the paid feature (€6/month, 7-day free trial).
The short version: if you're in the US, Copilot is an excellent choice. If you're in Europe, it isn't a choice at all — and Talvo is the app built to fill exactly that gap.
Moving from Copilot (or waiting for it)?
If you've been holding out for Copilot to launch in Europe, or you're relocating from the US: Talvo imports transaction history via CSV, so your past doesn't get left behind. Set up takes minutes — connect your banks, check the auto-categorisation, set budgets from your 3-month averages, and you're running.
