Verdicts

Copilot Money

Copilot Money is a subscription budgeting app with a dated public changelog, a published disclosure policy and iOS releases every few weeks. There is no public API, and its MCP server, read-only and in beta since 15 May 2026, is open only through a waitlist, with no public documentation of its tools or connection.

Emma

Emma tracks subscriptions, bills and budgets for UK users through Open Banking, with a free plan and public prices for paid tiers, and iOS releases about every week. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call. No status page or security contact was found, and the terms forbid bots and scrapers.

Before you call either

Copilot Money

  1. Don't plan to call Copilot Money from another agent. The MCP beta is waitlist-only, so ask the person to join at agent.copilot.money and connect it themselves.
  2. Once connected, expect read-only access to categories, transactions, monthly spend and income, recurrings and tags, per the changelog.
  3. Don't treat unofficial Copilot clients that read the local cache or a browser session as Copilot's interface.

Emma

  1. Don't plan to call Emma from another agent. Hand the task to the person in the Emma app or web app.
  2. For a one-off cancellation question, the public pages at emma-app.com/how-to-cancel can be read like any web page.
