Finanzfluss Copilot
5.0FINANCE
Finanzfluss Copilot adds a Riester vs. pension-depot calculator that feeds its broker comparison.
◆ Current state
Finanzfluss Copilot is a German portfolio and budgeting tracker. Its newest feature is a calculator comparing a Riester contract with the new Altersvorsorgedepot at the same annual savings, showing wealth at retirement and net monthly payout, with a button straight into the depot comparison. September's burst brought a retrained categorization model, AI document import from PDFs, CSVs and images, and redesigned transaction lists.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is adding decision tools that route users toward broker comparison, after October's ETF savings-plan and custody filters. The tracking side kept improving through import and categorization work, while the newer releases build out a funnel from planning to choosing a broker.
◆ Prediction
More pension and savings-plan comparison tools tied to the broker comparison look likely, since both recent releases point there. Whether the Altersvorsorgedepot gets dedicated tracking inside portfolios is unclear from the entries.
FreeAgent
2.5FINANCE
FreeAgent widens VAT and mobile MTD tools while pitching itself as accounting for every business.
◆ Current state
FreeAgent's recent feed is filling in its compliance core. Over the summer it shipped quarterly Making Tax Digital submissions from mobile and seven VAT workflow improvements, and in October its Director of Product framed the roadmap as building FreeAgent for every business type, after June's Landlords product and the CIS simplification.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is segment-by-segment expansion (landlords, construction subcontractors) on top of a UK tax compliance base that keeps getting deeper. MTD for Income Tax is the anchor: each segment gets tooling for the filing obligations it now faces.
◆ Prediction
Posts are sparse and mostly retrospective, so timing is unclear; the next visible move is likely MTD for Income Tax readiness work ahead of its rollout, possibly another segment-specific product.
