Looking for a YNAB alternative?

Tired of Manual Budget Entry and Limited Financial Planning?

Frustrated that your budgeting app only handles 50% of your financial picture? Paying for basic features that haven't evolved in years? You're not alone. You are not alone - thousands are switching to smarter financial planning.

The YNAB Pain Points We Hear Every Day

"I'm manually entering everything!"

YNAB still requires manual transaction entry for many accounts, wasting hours of your time each month on data entry instead of actual financial planning.

"My savings accounts don't sync!"

No off-budget account tracking means you can't see your complete financial picture. Your emergency fund, savings goals, and investment accounts are invisible to YNAB.

"Where are my investments?"

YNAB completely ignores your investment portfolio, retirement accounts, and wealth-building strategies. It's budgeting without the financial planning.

"Duplicate transactions are a nightmare!"

No automatic duplicate detection means you're constantly cleaning up transaction errors and dealing with reconciliation headaches.

"No scenario planning!"

Want to test "what-if" scenarios? YNAB offers no scenario planning features, forcing you to gamble with your real budget instead of modeling different financial futures.

"$109/year for manual entry?"

Premium pricing for basic features that haven't evolved. No AI insights, no forecasting, no investment tracking - just expensive manual budgeting that wastes your time.
