Is Empower really free?
Empower’s dashboard is free, but it’s designed to introduce you to its paid wealth-management service. NOVOX is a straightforward subscription with no advisory upsell.
How NOVOX and Empower (formerly Personal Capital) compare for net worth and investing.
Empower offers a genuinely free net-worth dashboard and retirement tools, funded by its US wealth-advisory business. NOVOX isn’t a lead-gen funnel for advisory services — it’s a focused, global tracker. It connects accounts across the US, Canada, EU and APAC (Empower is US-only), supports 7 languages with full Arabic right-to-left, and adds in-app trading via SnapTrade and a Zakat calculator.
Available beyond the US — Empower’s dashboard is US-only.
No advisory sales calls — NOVOX is a subscription product, not a funnel.
7 languages with full Arabic right-to-left, plus a Zakat calculator.
In-app brokerage trading via SnapTrade.
