Managing all of your investments can feel like a part-time job, and that's especially true if you have quite a few types of accounts. For example, it's not uncommon to have a workplace 401(k) — or even several 401(k)s from different jobs — as well as brokerage accounts with multiple firms. You might even have a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA or both of those accounts on top of that.

At the end of the day, that could mean having to log into multiple platforms each time you want to see how your investments are doing. Not only is this time-consuming, but it gives you a disjointed and disorganized view of your finances.

Fortunately, quite a few investment tracking apps let you connect each of your investment accounts all in one place. Most investment tracking apps are also free, or at least they have a free version you can try out.

If you are tired of keeping track of multiple log-in details or you simply want to see all your investments — and monitor their growth — in one place, investment tracking apps can help. We compared all the best options out there today to help you make the most optimal choice for your portfolio, and the platforms below made the cut.

Best Investment Tracking Apps of 2022

Playbook

Cost: $19/month subscription

Platforms: Web browser. App for iOS and Android forthcoming.

Playbook is like other robo-advisors and robo-advisor adjacent apps on this list, in that it charges a monthly flat fee for keeping track of your investments. Playbook's differentiator is its emphasis on taxes and getting the most out of your tax-advantaged retirement accounts.

After you sign up on Playbook's site, you will answer a questionnaire on your current accounts including IRA and 401(k) retirement accounts, your goals and financial situation, as well as your employer's 401(k) match, if any. You’ll then be asked to link your accounts in a safe and easy process.

Playbook then calculates your net worth and analyzes your accounts and contributions (both your own and your employer's 401(k) match) to make sure you're not missing any chance to shelter savings in your tax-advantaged accounts.

Who It's Best For: Retirement savers of any age who need guidance on how to maximize their tax advantages.

Personal Capital

Cost: FREE

Platforms: iOS, Android, Mac and Windows

Personal Capitalis actually a robo-advisor, meaning they provide investment planning services in exchange for a reasonable fee. However, they also offer a free app anyone can use to monitor their investments and net worth all in one place. This app also lets you connect your credit cards and bank accounts, which helps you monitor and stay on top of your spending over time.

Personal Capital's Retirement Planner can help you create a retirement goal and assess your current chances at success. Their retirement fee analyzer can also help you determine if the fees you're paying to invest are on par with the benchmark or higher than they should be.

We also like the fact that Personal Capital lets you track all of your debts in one place, as well as your total net worth. Since the platform is free to use, you have nothing to lose by opening an account and using their innovative tools.

Who It's Best For: Anyone looking for a free platform that can help them monitor their investments and net worth

The free Mint app also lets you connect your investments to your account, which can help you monitor your progress and investment gains over time. Tools within the app also let you find hidden fees you may be paying on your investment accounts.

Who It's Best For: Investors who want to take a hands-on approach to tracking their own investments; those who are comfortable using spreadsheets and willing to do the upfront work required to get started

How to Choose the Best Investment Tracking App

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of investment tracking apps out there, you may want to sign up for a few accounts that offer a free version first. While you won't get access to as many tools and features with the free version of most products, you can get a feel for what they offer and how you might utilize them to grow your investments or improve your total financial picture over time.

If you really just want to see all your investment accounts in one place, you may even find a free account with Personal Capital or Mint could be more than enough.

Here are some additional steps you can take to find the best investment tracking app for your needs and goals:

  • Decide if you want assistance planning your investments. Some investment apps
  • (like Personal Capital and SigFig) offer a financial planning component for a fee, which can be immensely helpful if you want assistance crafting your portfolio. Other apps have versions that offer stock picks or in-depth investment analysis, so check for those options if you want this type of expert help.
  • Determine if you want budgeting and expense tracking tools. Where some popular financial apps focus on tracking your investment accounts only, others offer expense tracking and budgeting tools. If you want to track your spending and your investments in one place, consider options like Personal Capital or Mint.
  • Figure out if you want to do any of the work. Finally, decide whether you want to connect your accounts and have the work done for you or put in some time tracking your investments yourself. Where some options like Personal Capital let you "set it and forget it," others like Microsoft Excel require some upfront work on your part.
