vokse vs Fintonic
Fintonic shows where money went.
vokse decides where it goes.
Fintonic connects your Spanish bank, categorises the movements, shows an expected spend per category, and now leads with loans, a credit score and CreditBuilder. vokse gives every euro a job before the month starts, puts an assistant on the same audited tools as the app, and lets you take everything out as one file. Every row below is dated and checkable on Fintonic's own site.
Connect your bank or import your history. Every transaction categorised, every envelope up to date.

Why vokse is the Fintonic alternative worth switching to.
Each one answers something Fintonic does, or leaves out, with a vokse fact you can check in the app.
A budget, not a spend meter
Fintonic computes an expected spend per category from your past months and fills a progress bar on a fixed category set. vokse is zero-based: you assign the money you have to envelopes you name yourself before the month starts, move it when plans change, and roll the rest forward. Goals sit on the envelopes themselves.
Free has a business model
Fintonic charges the user nothing because around 55 lenders, insurers, energy and telecom companies pay when you contract a product, which is why the app now opens with loans and a credit score. vokse has one paid plan, a free trial, no card to start, and sells nothing else. The budget is the product.
An assistant that does the work
Fintonic's AI agent answers loan questions around the clock. vokse's assistant categorises transactions, moves money between envelopes and answers what is left for groceries, on the same audited tools as the app. Every step is logged, and anything it cannot undo waits for your confirmation.
Claude, ChatGPT and a public API
Fintonic's ChatGPT app quotes a personal loan and estimates a FinScore; their site states no AI access to your own movements. vokse runs a remote MCP server with OAuth, so Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client works your actual books, plus a public REST API with scoped keys for anything you build yourself.
Money in from anywhere
Fintonic takes movements from 23 Spanish entities, refreshed once a day, and a bank off its list cannot be connected; cash never enters. vokse syncs US and Canadian banks today, European banks next, and imports CSV, OFX and JSON from any bank meanwhile, plus manual entries, receipts by camera and voice capture, in any of 41 currencies at each day's own rate.
Shared, undoable, and yours to take
Fintonic is one email and a four-digit code, and removing a connected entity erases its history for good. vokse gives a household owner, editor and viewer roles, records every change with who made it, keeps an undo history with an audit trail, exports everything as one file, and purges a deleted account after 30 days.
Switching from Fintonic, in three steps.
Fintonic documents no export, so the path runs through your bank, whose files vokse reads directly.
Get the movements from your bank, not from Fintonic
Fintonic's help center has no article on exporting, CSV, Excel or PDF; the only stated route out is a GDPR portability request in the app or by email. Skip the wait: download a CSV or OFX from each bank's own site for the months you want to keep.
Import the files and review
vokse reads CSV, OFX and JSON from any bank and shows what it found before a single row lands: accounts, dates, amounts and payees. Confirm, then let the assistant take the categorising and set your rules for next time.
Give this month a budget, then close Fintonic
Assign the money you have to envelopes, put recurring bills on the calendar, and let the forecast show next month's low point. Cancelling Fintonic erases its history, by its own help center; yours now lives in vokse and exports as one file whenever you ask.
