Spense — Budgeting That Does Itself
Download, connect your bank, done. Spense categorizes every transaction as it arrives and shows you exactly what's safe to spend — no spreadsheets, no Sunday-night budget sessions, no guilt.
Try everything free for 14 days. No credit card, no sign-up forms — open the app and your trial starts.
After that, Spense is $2.99/month or $24.99/year. One plan, everything included.
Budgeting on Autopilot
- Transactions categorize themselves the moment they arrive
- See what you've spent and what's left, per category, in real time
- Spending trends show whether you're ahead of or behind your own pace
- Smart credit card tracking — spending per card, payments detected automatically
Built on a Method That Works
Under the hood, Spense runs on envelope budgeting — the 100-year-old technique YNAB made famous: every
dollar gets a job. Want to be hands-on? Switch to Manual Mode and assign every dollar yourself until $0
is left. Want it effortless? Stay in Auto Mode and let Spense do the sorting while you keep the
visibility. Both are included — change anytime.
Switching?
- From Mint or Copilot: Auto Mode gives you the same hands-off experience at a fraction of the price
- From YNAB: import your categories and history in minutes — same method, simpler app, lower cost
- From spreadsheets: keep the control, lose the data entry
