The Short Answer
Piere is best for people who want AI to move money between their accounts, and has a free tier. Cadence Money never moves your money, adds a web app, and costs $2.99 CAD per month billed annually against about $9.22 CAD for Piere’s paid tier.
A fraction of the price.
Cadence Money is $2.99 CAD/m billed annually, against about $9.22 CAD/m for Piere’s paid tier.

A real web app.
Full iOS, Android and web apps in sync, where Piere is mobile-only.

Cadence Money is a strong Piere alternative for people who want a clear picture of their money without an AI moving it around for them. It brings budgeting, net worth, goals and reporting together across iOS, Android and the web, in Canada and the USA.
For most Canadians, yes. Piere is available in Canada but is built around US-style debt payoff and does not track Canadian registered accounts. Cadence Money has first-class support for TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP and RDSP, plus multi-currency for CAD, USD and GBP together.
Yes. Piere exports the same CSV layout Mint used, which Cadence Money recognises automatically, including the column that says whether a row was money in or out, and your categories are translated too. Our guide to switching from Piere starts with turning off any automation before you go.
No. Piere has a free tier covering three accounts; Cadence Money does not have a free tier. Cadence Money is a paid subscription with a 14-day free trial, and a card is required to start the trial. Plans begin at $2.99 CAD / $2.49 USD per month billed annually.
