FAQ

Hunch vs Simplifi — common questions

Is Hunch a good Simplifi alternative?

+

If you want a free tier with real bank sync instead of paying from the first day, Hunch is a strong alternative — Simplifi has no free plan and bills annually up front.

Does Simplifi work well for Canadian accounts?

+

Simplifi connects to the major Canadian banks and supports CAD, and can track TFSA and RRSP balances as ordinary accounts, though Quicken notes it is optimized for US users and smaller institutions can be hit-or-miss. Hunch is Canadian-first, and its Plaid-based sync is on the free tier.

Can I import my Simplifi data into Hunch?

+

Yes. Simplifi supports exporting your transaction history, and Hunch's CSV import accepts data from any bank or app — including Simplifi's export.

Does Hunch have Simplifi's built-in spending-plan reports?

+

Not the same custom report library yet — that's an area where Quicken Simplifi currently leads.
