Qapital operates primarily within its own FDIC-insured spending and savings accounts. External account aggregation is limited — the product is built around the Qapital wallet, not a broad view of your existing accounts.

Background links
Rubric: pricingPredictability
Qapital has three tiers: Basic ($3/mo), Complete ($6/mo), and Master ($12/mo). Basic covers simple savings rules; investment portfolios require Complete or above. The tier structure is clear but adds up if you want more features.

Deep dive: coverage
Clarity aggregates every account type: checking, savings, credit cards, brokerages, 401(k)s, IRAs, HSAs, crypto exchanges, and on-chain wallets. You get a live net worth view that reflects everything — not just one product's accounts.
Background links
Deep dive: coverage
Qapital is built around its own spending and savings account ecosystem. It links to an external bank to fund rules, but the product is oriented around the Qapital wallet and goals — not aggregating and analyzing your existing financial life.
Background links
Deep dive: coverage
Clarity shows your full financial picture. Qapital creates a dedicated savings environment but doesn't replace a comprehensive tracker.

Deep dive: pricingPredictability
Clarity is $99/year — one price for all features including banks, crypto, AI, and tax reporting.
Background links
Deep dive: pricingPredictability
Qapital's Basic tier is $3/month, which seems cheap. But investment portfolios require the Complete tier ($6/mo) and the Master tier ($12/mo) is needed for advanced features. At $12/mo Qapital costs the same as Clarity's monthly price — but covers far less financial ground.

Deep dive: pricingPredictability
Qapital is cheap for basic savings rules. At higher tiers the price approaches Clarity's while offering a much narrower feature set.

Both products are trustworthy. Qapital has regulatory backing for money deposits; Clarity has stronger data-deletion commitments.

FAQ: Can Clarity replace Qapital for savings automation?
Clarity is a financial tracking and analysis tool, not a savings automation product. It doesn't move money or set up automatic transfers to savings goals. If savings automation via rules is the workflow you want, Qapital (or YNAB, or your bank's built-in savings tools) serve that need. Clarity replaces Qapital as your financial dashboard — showing net worth, spending, and investments — not as your savings automation engine.
Background links
FAQ: Does Clarity track investment portfolios?
Yes. Clarity connects to brokerages, retirement accounts, and crypto exchanges, showing portfolio performance, allocation, and cost basis. Qapital's investment product (at the Complete and Master tiers) is a managed portfolio within the Qapital ecosystem — not an aggregator of your existing accounts.

FAQ: Is Qapital a good budgeting app?
Qapital is a savings automation and goal-setting app rather than a traditional budgeting tool. It doesn't show your full financial picture or categorize all your spending. For budgeting, Clarity, YNAB, or Monarch are more appropriate. Qapital is at its best when you want rule-based automatic transfers to savings goals.
