Simplifi is Quicken's answer to Monarch and Copilot: a clean, mobile-first personal finance app for people who want budgeting without the weight of the classic desktop Quicken product. It handles cash flow forecasting well, and the 'Planned Spending' surface makes it easy to see what is committed vs. what is discretionary.
Subscriptions appear on a dedicated Recurring surface that lists detected charges and lets you set alerts. It is one of the better implementations in the personal-finance category, though still short of what a dedicated tracker offers — no overlap detection, no arbitrage, no refund-window logic, no household split.
Strengths: cash-flow modelling, mobile UX, and the Quicken brand's reliability on bank connections. Weaknesses: US-only bank sync, no free tier, and subscription features stop at detection and alerts. Good pick if you want a modern all-in-one from a trustworthy vendor.
Not the right shape if the specific problem is subscription sprawl.
