Both are premium. One talks back.
Copilot is one of the most beautiful finance apps on iOS. Don is beautiful — and it answers your questions.

Where Don Wins
1. You can have a conversation with your money.
Copilot shows you data beautifully. Don lets you ask questions. "Did I spend more than usual on food this month?" "What's my biggest recurring expense?" Don answers in plain English. Copilot gives you a chart you have to interpret yourself.
2. Smart Tag is a genuine differentiator.
Correct a merchant name once and it's fixed forever across every past and future transaction. One tap, done. Copilot has merchant rules, but Don's approach is more permanent.
3. Gamification that makes goals engaging.
Don's savings goals have XP, streaks, and difficulty tiers. Copilot's goal tracking is clean but flat. Don makes you want to come back.
4. Receipt scanning.
Take a photo of a receipt and Don logs the transaction. Small feature, huge quality-of-life improvement for cash purchases and expense tracking.
Where Copilot Might Suit You Better
You're Mac-first. Copilot has a native Mac app that's excellent. If you spend most of your financial review time on a laptop and want a native experience, Copilot delivers.
Longer track record. Copilot has been refining its dashboard and categorization since 2019. Don is newer — moving faster, but with less mileage.
