What's New in Budget Bestie

1.7.1

October 6, 2026

hey besties, you told us, we listened. 2 per row is back, so you can see more of your envelopes at a glance again. like the bigger cards better? turn off compact home view in settings. empty envelopes dim, each card shades as you spend, and savings goals have their progress bar back. we fixed a crash on the envelope screen, too. thank you for every message, besties. keep them coming, and keep on stuffing!

User reviews

please bring back the old layout!

I absolutely LOVE this app and have been using it for a while now, it’s made budgeting so much easier for me and has helped me become way better with managing my money, but this new layout is awful. The old layout was perfect!! Please reconsider switching back to it!

New Layout

I love this app, but the new UI update is not it. It was much easier to navigate and more intuitive before. Now if you have a lot of envelopes, it’s very clunky. Please please please create an option to use the old layout!

So good for my adhd brain

This app has genuinely changed my life. I’ve never been good at budgeting, and after some big life changes I was forced to figure it out. Well I found this app on tik Tok and it looked promising,and I’m so glad I tried it. I’ve had it for about. A year and it’s helped me build a savings account, pay off debt and take control of my finances! Thank you!!

Disappointed with the new features and layout

Hi! I wanted to share some feedback about the new update.
Is there any possibility of bringing back the old version, or at least giving users the option to choose which features and layout they want to use?

Honestly, the main reason I chose your company was because the app was so cute, fun, and visually appealing. I loved being able to see all the small folders and categories — it made budgeting feel enjoyable and actually motivated me to use the app. I’ve tried many budgeting apps before, but Budget Bestie was the only one that made me genuinely want to budget because of how cute and condensed everything was.

With the new update, I find the app looks much more bland, and unfortunately, I’m really disappointed with the change. I’m also paying an annual fee, so it’s frustrating to feel like such a big part of what made the app worth paying for has been taken away.

I really hope this feedback reaches the team. Even just giving users the choice between the old and new layouts, or allowing us to customize which features we see, would make such a big difference.

I really loved the old version and would genuinely love to see the option to use it again

Best budget app!

Absolutely love this app! It has been sooo helpful as a single income household with so many bills to manage throughout the month! Really helps me to not spend more than I need as well and helps with paying off debt and saving money as I can see exactly what is going out all throughout the month so I know what I have left! Just looking at the app today tho and looks like the dates are out by 1 day, it’s Friday 2nd October today but the 2nd is showing as the Saturday? Not sure if it’s me or how to fix it?

FAQ

What is Budget Bestie?

Budget Bestie is a mobile application that digitizes the cash stuffing budgeting method. It allows users to create virtual envelopes for different expense categories, allocate cash to them, and track spending without needing to carry physical cash. The app aims to make budgeting effortless and stress-free.

How does the cash stuffing method work in the app?

The app guides you through creating envelopes for expenses like food or rent. You then virtually 'stuff' these envelopes with cash based on your budget. When you spend money, you record the transaction from the corresponding envelope. The app helps you repeat this process each time you get paid.

Is Budget Bestie free to use?

The app offers a free trial period. After the trial, users can choose between a monthly or annual subscription to continue using the service. Subscriptions are managed and billed through Apple, and can be canceled within iPhone settings.

What devices is Budget Bestie compatible with?

Budget Bestie is designed for iPhones. Users can manage or cancel their subscriptions directly within their iPhone settings app, indicating it is an iOS-exclusive application.

Who would benefit from using Budget Bestie?

This app is ideal for individuals who prefer a visual and tangible budgeting approach like cash stuffing but want to do it digitally. It's particularly helpful for those paid weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly, and who want to avoid math and spreadsheets while hitting savings goals and avoiding late fees.
