la alternativaMoney Manager is one of the most complete spending notebooks: categories, statistics, even double-entry. But it still depends on you doing the logging. mPF starts from your real bank transactions and gives you the analysis without the work.

Money Manager does its job very well: logging every movement by hand with detailed categories and good statistics. The problem isn't the app, it's the method: the picture is only worth something if you log everything, every day, forever. The moment you hit two busy weeks, the gaps turn the statistics into decoration. mPF removes that dependency: it connects over 200 banks and providers in Spain and your transactions arrive and classify themselves.

Where the experience differs
Money Manager does its job very well: logging every movement by hand with detailed categories and good statistics. The problem isn't the app, it's the method: the picture is only worth something if you log everything, every day, forever. The moment you hit two busy weeks, the gaps turn the statistics into decoration. mPF removes that dependency: it connects over 200 banks and providers in Spain and your transactions arrive and classify themselves.
Knowing how much you spent on eating out is the start. mPF goes a step further: it brings spending, accounts, debts and savings together to answer what really matters — how much you can save, which subscriptions are surplus, how your net worth is doing and what to move first. Every month, summed up in a report you don't need to be an accountant to read.
If you enjoy logging every movement by hand and want fine accounting control, double-entry style, Money Manager is a great notebook. If what you're after is real control of your money with minimum effort — and your spending goes mostly through Spanish accounts and cards — an app connected to your banks plays in another league. mPF does it with bank-grade security, end-to-end encryption and providers regulated under the European PSD2 rules.
mPF classifies your transactions automatically into categories built for deciding (housing, subscriptions, leisure, debt…), and you can recategorise whatever you want. The real difference is who does the work: in Money Manager you categorise every entry; in mPF you correct the exception, not the rule.
No migration needed: you connect your bank accounts and mPF builds your financial picture from your real transactions. Your manual history stays in Money Manager, but from day one you have your real spending classified in mPF and your net worth up to date.
The connection uses aggregation providers regulated under the European PSD2 rules, with end-to-end encryption. mPF only reads transactions to analyse them: nobody can move your money from the app. The full detail is on our security page.
You can add manual transactions whenever you want: in mPF they're the supplement to a picture that's already practically complete from your accounts and cards. Logging stops being a daily obligation and becomes an optional adjustment.
