Silvia vs. Kubera (2026)

If you have ever kept your net worth in a spreadsheet with a tab for every account, Kubera probably looked like the answer. It takes that spreadsheet, connects it to your banks, brokerages and crypto wallets, and keeps it current.

But having a record of your wealth is not the same as understanding it. Kubera only tells you what you have. It is a decent net worth tracker and that is it. Silvia, on the other hand, helps you make sense of your wealth. It helps you answer the hard questions and make fundamentally sound financial decisions.

Both track the same kinds of assets, and both are built for people whose money doesn't fit nicely in a budgeting app. The difference is what happens after the numbers are in. For most people, Silvia is the better choice, and it costs nothing to start.

Silvia vs. Kubera: Quick Overview

What Kubera does well

Kubera has earned its reputation. It's one of the most complete net worth trackers you can buy, and it's especially good at holding things other apps can't.

• Broad coverage. Kubera connects to more than 20,000 banks and brokerages, plus crypto wallets, exchanges and DeFi positions. You can add homes, cars, domain names and almost anything else by hand.
• A clean, global view. The layout feels like a well-built spreadsheet, and assets can stay in their own currency.
• Helpful extras. AI Import pulls holdings out of statements you upload, Fast Forward projects your net worth into the future, and a document vault keeps paperwork next to the assets it belongs to.
• Estate handoff. Life Beat checks in after a period of inactivity and passes access to the people you choose.

Kubera's limits show up once the numbers are in. There's no built-in assistant to ask about your money. Instead, Kubera lets you connect ChatGPT, Claude or another outside chatbot, which means the analysis depends on a general-purpose tool. Tracking trusts and LLCs as nested portfolios also requires Kubera Black, which costs $2,499 a year. That price is steep for the average person.

Where Silvia pulls ahead

Silvia covers the same ground Kubera does. It connects to your banks, brokerages, retirement accounts and crypto through read-only links. It values your home through Zillow and your car through MarketCheck, and it holds private investments, collectibles and every kind of debt on one balance sheet. Multi-Portfolio keeps a trust, rental LLC or business in its own portfolio, and multi-currency support handles accounts and property abroad.

The real gap opens up after that, in three places.

1. It answers questions with your own numbers. Silvia is an AI personal CFO, so you can ask it things like "Am I too concentrated in tech?" or "Can I retire at 58 if I sell the rental?" The answer comes from your actual holdings and debts, not from a chatbot guessing at your situation. Its finance-trained models lead Silvia's published benchmarks on mortgage and credit card questions.
2. It does the research for you. For bigger decisions, Silvia Research spends 20 to 40 minutes on the problem and returns a written report with citations and charts. Kubera has nothing like it.
3. It keeps watch between check-ins. Silvia Radar monitors what you care about, such as an earnings report, a concentrated position or a shrinking cash cushion, and tells you when something changes. Kubera is built for you to check in on your numbers, not to watch them for you.

Silvia also comes with a broader set of features that make it extra appealing. Silvia Vault is a secure document storage system that reads your statements and tax forms, and Silvia Legacy makes it easy to set up a next of kin.

Silvia vs. Kubera: Head to Head

Tracking everything you own

• Winner: Silvia and Kubera (Tie).

Both handle the assets that budgeting apps skip, including real estate, private holdings, vehicles and foreign accounts. Kubera's crypto and DeFi coverage runs a little deeper, while Silvia's automatic home and car values save you some manual updates.

Trusts, LLCs and entities

• Winner: Silvia.

Kubera only offers nested portfolios for people, trusts and entities on Black at $2,499 a year. Silvia's Multi-Portfolio gives you separate portfolios at a fraction of that price.

Investment analysis

• Winner: Silvia.

Kubera shows your holdings, allocation and returns. Silvia goes further and flags concentration risk, fund fees, idle cash and the tax impact of a sale, all in the context of your other assets.

AI

• Winner: Silvia.

Connecting Kubera to an outside chatbot can work, but you're relying on a general-purpose AI to interpret your data. Silvia's AI was built for personal finance, sees your whole balance sheet and can write a full research report when a question needs one.

Security

• Winner: Silvia.

Both use read-only connections, so neither can move your money. Silvia is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts your data and deletes it when you close your account. Here's more on how Silvia protects your financial data.

Silvia and Kubera Pricing

Silvia Pro and Kubera Essentials cost about the same each year, but Silvia includes the AI, research and monitoring that Kubera doesn't offer. If you need to track trusts or entities, the gap gets much bigger, because Kubera Black costs more than ten times as much as Silvia Pro.

Which one should you choose?

Kubera may fit if:

• You mainly want a detailed record of your net worth and enjoy doing the analysis yourself.

Silvia is the better choice if:

• You want answers about your money, not just a list of what you own.
• You hold real estate, private investments or entities and don't want to pay $2,499 a year to organize them.
• You want something watching your portfolio between check-ins.
• You'd like to start for free.

The Bottom Line

Kubera is a great place to keep a record of everything you own. But a record only gets you halfway, because the hard part is knowing what to do with it. Silvia tracks the same assets and then helps you understand them, research your options and stay ahead of changes. It's free to start, so you can bring over your accounts and see the difference for yourself.
