The Bad

Not a SaaS
Limited accounts
Limited alerts

Ace Money is downloadable software that must be installed on your computer. Its lack of availability for use on a web browser (SaaS) means you must use memory on your computer for the program rather than an online server, limiting your access to the program. Ace Money doesn't alert customers of things like unusual spending on their account, high or low balances, budget limits, and bill reminders. Other common concerns include:

Only two accounts on free version
Not SaaS
Few mobile apps
Few reminders and alerts

While it is a plus that AceMoney offers a free version, you can only set up two accounts with the "Lite" version. If you have more than two accounts you want to integrate into your finance management system, you will have to upgrade to the paid version of the software. There are few mobile app options for the Ace Money software. There is a free Android app, and Windows Mobile users can purchase software for $20.00 that allows tracking receipts while out and about, to be synced when you return back home. AceMoney currently does not offer any apps for iOS systems or tablets. While some of the software options include mobile finance tracking, alerts aren't sent out for low balance, overage usage, etc. Additionally, there aren't options for personal financial coaching or free credit scores.

The Bottom Line

This software covers the basics of money management but has a very outdated interface, and limited automatic integration. While this is not a bad option for those looking for basic personal finance software, we would recommend other programs with better functionality and more user-friendly designs. Those that use Ace Money can expect the following from the platform:

Free version
Helpful tutorial
Not SaaS compatible
No alerts

I bought Ace Money several months ago and used it with some success until I downloaded a new system software for which Ace Money was not compatible. If you are a Macintosh user and are using the Catalina software (10.15.3 or later), Ace Money will not work until you make extraordinary changes including going to Terminal and entering code. It's a shame because I liked the Ace Money because I could enter data and not link it to a bank for automatic download. I felt like I had more control over access to the data. So, if you are a Mac user, just look elsewhere. I've asked for a refund, but am waiting for a reply.

Gets all screwed up at the first hurdle.....currency, get a life and get out of US $'s, there's more in the world. I give it 0 rating. Avoid and go back to pen and paper.

Looks really old and dated...needs a huge makeover. Slightly overpriced, also.
