Tweed vs PocketSmith
A UK-first PocketSmith alternative
PocketSmith is a capable forecasting tool, but it is priced for power users and built for a global audience. Tweed brings the same long-view planning to UK households, privately and for less.
Why people move to Tweed

- UK-native throughout: banks, tax, ISA and pension allowances, and student loans.
- Forecasting and scenario planning without the top-tier price tag.
- CSV import keeps it private, with no open-banking connection to manage.
- One clear picture by default, depth in the Lab when you want it.

Questions
Switching from PocketSmith
The things people ask before they move.
How is Tweed different from PocketSmith?
Both forecast your cashflow, but Tweed is UK-native (tax, ISA and pension allowances, student loans) and privacy-first via CSV, and it aims to be simpler and cheaper than PocketSmith's higher tiers.
Does Tweed forecast as far ahead as PocketSmith?
Tweed gives an 18-month cashflow runway plus a long-term net-worth projection. It is built around the decisions most households actually make, not the longest possible horizon.
Is my data as private as I want?
Tweed uses CSV import with no open banking, and its AI only ever sees transaction descriptions and amounts, never your name, account numbers or dates.
