NomadWealth vs Empower (Personal Capital)
Empower (formerly Personal Capital) offers a genuinely useful free dashboard — funded by its wealth-management arm, which is why linking accounts can be followed by advisory phone calls. It's US-centric: US brokerages, USD, US retirement planning. NomadWealth is the opposite trade: no bank logins to hand over, no upsell — you're the customer, not the lead — and first-class multi-currency for assets spread across countries. The price of that is manual or CSV entry instead of automatic sync.

For a US-only investor comfortable linking accounts, Empower's free dashboard is hard to argue with. If your assets cross borders and currencies, or you won't hand an aggregator your bank credentials, NomadWealth gives you the full picture on infrastructure only you can reach.
