WeMoney is the better pick for one specific job — improving your credit score — and its WeMo coach is the most genuinely AI tool in the category. Choose WeMoney if credit is your goal; choose Frollo if budgeting is. > > *Last reviewed: 9 June 2026 by Adam.* --- ## At a glance | | **Frollo** | **WeMoney** | | ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | **Our score** | **22/25** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | **21/25** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent | | **Entry price (AUD)** | $0 — genuinely free | $0 free tier; Pro $9.99/mo or $99/yr | | **GST treatment** | N/A — no charge | AUD native; figures shown are what you pay | | **Account connection** | CDR / Open Banking (no password) | Bank + debt accounts; free credit score | | **AI** | None marketed in consumer app | WeMo — Google Cloud Vertex AI credit coach | | **Credit score** | No | Yes — free, Equifax + Experian | | **Built and run** | Frollo Australia Pty Ltd, North Sydney | WeMoney Pty Ltd, ACL 526330 | | **Data residency** | Primarily stored in Australia | Open question on WeMo's Vertex AI region | | **Best for** | Seeing your whole money picture, free | Understanding and lifting your credit score | Both are Australian-built consumer money apps, both run on a free core tier, and both connect to your real accounts. That already puts them ahead of the overseas apps that charge $100-plus a year and assume a US bank list. The contest is decided in the details below. ## What both do At the core, Frollo and WeMoney do the same job: connect your accounts, sort your spending into categories, and give you one real-time picture of where your money goes. Both let you set goals and track progress. Both are Australian-built consumer apps — not business tools, and not a replacement for your accountant or a registered adviser. Both are also free to start, which matters in a category where the better-known overseas rivals charge yearly fees. Frollo is free end to end. WeMoney's core app, including its free credit score, costs nothing, with a paid Pro tier on top. The split is in what each app is *for*. Frollo is a pure money-management view built on Open Banking. WeMoney is debt-and-credit-first, with an AI coach layered on. That difference drives the rest of this comparison — see [Where WeMoney wins](#where-wemoney-wins). One shared rule applies to both. Neither app replaces qualified financial or credit advice. They show you your money and explain your numbers; they do not tell you what to do with your super, your mortgage, or your debt. Treat any product the apps surface with a critical eye. ## Pricing in Australia Both price in AUD, so there is no FX guesswork either way. The structure differs sharply. **Frollo** is free. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases — full stop. Its revenue comes from the B2B Open Banking side of the business, not from app subscriptions, so the consumer app stays free. There is no GST question because there is no charge. **WeMoney** runs a free core tier and a paid one. The free app gives you account tracking, spending insights, a free credit score, debt tools, the WeMo coach, and the community. WeMoney Pro costs $9.99/month or $99/year, with a 7-day free trial, and adds daily credit monitoring with fraud alerts, unlimited custom categories, a desktop view, automatic goal tracking, and an ad-free experience. WeMoney is an Australian merchant pricing in AUD; it does not publish a separate GST line, so treat the figures shown as the amount you pay. **Value verdict:** Frollo wins on raw price — free is hard to beat, and it earns a 5/5 for Value where WeMoney takes 4/5\. But WeMoney's free tier is genuinely useful on its own, and at $99/year Pro is among the cheaper paid tiers in the category — well below standalone credit-monitoring services. If you would otherwise pay for credit monitoring, WeMoney Pro can be the cheaper landed cost. If you just want to see your accounts, Frollo costs nothing. ## Where Frollo wins - **It's genuinely free, with no catch.** No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases. Frollo earns a 5/5 for Value for Money; WeMoney takes 4/5, losing the point only against fully-free rivals. In a category where overseas apps charge yearly fees, this alone wins Frollo readers. - **Open Banking done properly.** Frollo connects through the Consumer Data Right as an Accredited Data Recipient — not screen-scraping. You authorise each bank through its own secure consent flow, so you never type your banking password into Frollo. For a money app, that is the safest connection method available in Australia, and Frollo was an early mover. - **A pure, whole-of-money view.** Aggregation across banks, cards, loans, and super means you see your full position, not one bank's slice, without the debt-and-credit framing layered on top. If clean budgeting is the job, Frollo is built for exactly that. - **It's our category Top Pick.** Frollo edges WeMoney 22/25 to 21/25 and is the easiest free recommendation in the field — the app we'd hand a non-technical Australian first. ## Where WeMoney wins - **A real AI coach, not just categorisation.** This is WeMoney's decisive edge for an AI directory. WeMo is an AI credit-health education assistant built on Google Cloud's Vertex AI, designed to explain your credit score conversationally and tell you what moves it. That is the closest thing in the category to a true money coach — and Frollo's consumer app markets no AI at all. - **A free credit score.** WeMoney shows your score from both Equifax and Experian, two of Australia's main credit bureaus, for free, with monthly change alerts. Frollo doesn't do credit scores. For Australians who find credit scores opaque — most of us — that loop of see-the-score, get-an-explanation, act is genuinely useful. - **Debt-first design.** If your goal is paying down debt, WeMoney is built for exactly that, not retrofitted to it. It operates under Australian Credit Licence 526330. - **Cheap, focused monitoring.** Pro's $99/year for daily credit monitoring and fraud alerts undercuts standalone credit-monitoring services. A fair caveat on WeMoney's AI advantage: WeMo is credit-centric, not a do-everything assistant across your whole financial life. And the community layer that makes the app sticky can blur into upsell — WeMoney doesn't publicly detail how the free app is monetised, so read any product recommendations critically. ## Australian fit Both clear the bar most overseas apps fail: Australian-built, Australian-run, and built around Australian banks and spending. Both score a clean 5/5 on Australian Fit, so the gate that governs our top star rating is passed by each. The separation is in the *kind* of local fit. - **Connection and data:** Frollo connects through the CDR as an Accredited Data Recipient, a moat no overseas app can copy without building local infrastructure. WeMoney connects bank and debt accounts and draws credit scores from Equifax and Experian, so the score reflects the Australian credit system, not a US model. - **Licensing:** WeMoney operates under Australian Credit Licence 526330 (WeMoney Pty Ltd, ABN 88 633 007 860), placing it inside the Australian credit-regulation framework. Frollo Australia Pty Ltd is based in North Sydney, NSW. - **Data residency:** Frollo's privacy policy confirms your data is primarily stored in Australia, with deletion supported — the one exception being if you opt into Yodlee screen-scraping, which may process data in the United States. WeMoney has one open question: it does not publicly confirm the region in which WeMo's Vertex AI processing runs. If that step is confirmed offshore, WeMoney's Australian Fit drops from 5/5 to 4/5 (and its total from 21 to 20) — the same standard we apply to every offshore-processing tool. Because its company, licensing, credit data, and pricing are all Australian, we score it 5/5 today, with that residency question noted as the single caveat. - **GST:** Frollo is free, so there's no pricing or GST question. WeMoney prices Pro in AUD ($9.99/month, $99/year) without a separate GST line, so the figures shown are what you pay. Both pass the Australian Fit gate. Neither replaces qualified financial or credit advice. ## Which to pick A short decision framework for the default reader — a 35-year-old Melbourne business owner who wants their money sorted without paying for the privilege. - **Most people who want to see their money clearly → Frollo.** If you want one free app to finally see your whole financial picture, connected safely through Open Banking with no password handed over and no fee, Frollo is the pick. It's our category Top Pick for a reason. - **Improving your credit score → WeMoney.** If understanding and lifting your credit score is the job, WeMoney is the Australian app to use, and WeMo makes it the most genuinely AI-driven pick in the category. The core app and the score are free; Pro is cheap if you want daily monitoring. - **You want AI you can talk to → WeMoney.** Frollo's consumer app markets no AI. If a conversational money coach is what you're after, WeMoney is the only one of the two that offers it. - **You want a pure budgeting view with no debt framing → Frollo.** WeMoney is credit-and-debt-first. If you just want clean aggregation and categorisation without product surfaces, Frollo is the cleaner tool. ## The verdict For most Australians, **Frollo is the winner**. It edges WeMoney 22/25 to 21/25, and it does the core job — see your whole money in one place — for free, through the safest connection method available in the country. No ads, no subscription, no password handed over. Both apps earn a clean 5/5 on Australian Fit, but Frollo's genuinely-free Value score is what separates them, and it earns its place as our category Top Pick. WeMoney is not far behind, and for one job it's the better call: improving your credit score. WeMo is the most genuinely AI feature in the category, the free credit score from Equifax and Experian is a real draw, and Pro is cheap. The honest caveats are that it's credit-first rather than a clean budgeting tool, the community can tip into upsell, and there's an open question over where WeMo's AI processing runs. Pick Frollo for a free, safe, whole-of-money view; pick WeMoney if credit is the thing you're buying for. Either way, keep your own judgement between the app and your money — neither replaces qualified advice. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are Frollo and WeMoney available in Australia? Yes.
