NationwideThe same spreadsheet workflow — with smarter automation and wider bank coverage. See how Avery compares, feature by feature.
Free to try — your data stays in your own Google Sheet.
Tiller and Avery share the same core idea: automatic bank transactions flowing into a Google Sheet you own, instead of a closed app. If you already love the spreadsheet workflow, both will feel familiar — the real differences are categorization, bank coverage, and pricing.
This is the biggest day-to-day difference. Tiller categorizes with AutoCat — keyword and merchant rules you set up and maintain by hand. Avery uses AI that categorizes transactions automatically and learns from your corrections, so you spend far less time writing and fixing rules.
Tiller connects US and Canadian banks only (via Plaid). Avery connects banks across the US via Plaid and the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, and Spain via GoCardless open banking — so it works for people Tiller can’t serve today.
Tiller is subscription-only at $79/year after a 30-day trial, with no permanent free tier. Avery is free to start and $9.99/month when you upgrade — so you can use it indefinitely for free rather than racing a trial clock.
Tiller’s strength is its large library of community templates and its Foundation Template. Avery ships ready-made budgeting templates, and because everything is a normal Google Sheet, you can build or paste in any layout, tracker, or dashboard you like.
Honest take: if you bank in the US or Canada, enjoy fine-tuning your own categorization rules, and want Tiller’s mature template gallery, Tiller is a great choice. If you want AI categorization that just works, UK or European bank support, and a free way to start, Avery is the better fit.

As a software engineer, I value the flexibility to create my own charts and tables. The peace of mind knowing I own my data is critical.
