In <3 since Day 1!
I love it
I was using Notion to track my finances previously but this is so quick and simple, I’ll never go back. Thank you for creating this masterpiece bestie🙂↕️💓 I’d loveee to see some features such as a monthly overview/summary of spending in the future!!!
bug fix and updates needed

Hi ddhdtu ffijdy vhdj. c, Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry the experience felt unclear. Budget Bestie is a subscription app, and we don’t market it as free. We mention that in our App Store description, in step 4 of onboarding (as you noted), and the pricing is listed under 'in-app purchases' in the app listing. We also include a suggested Budget Bestie envelope during setup to highlight that it's a paid app. We understand that if it's missed, it can feel frustrating, and we’re always working to make that even clearer. Just to clarify, we do offer both monthly and annual subscription options, not just annual, so there's some flexibility depending on your budget. We also keep our pricing lower than many comparable budgeting apps, and we don’t sell user data—ever. Free apps still need to cover costs, and that’s often done by sharing or selling data, which is something we’ll never do. And really appreciate the note about the emoji picker. Definitely hear you on that. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
It’s paid, don’t bother.
All these greedy companies are awful, an app for simply tracking spending and budgeting should not have a subscription, should not even have a login.
The app has lost my budget twice in one year
Regarding the reply, of course I was using the same Apple ID, all my other apps’ information moved over easily.
Love the app
could’ve been cute
Not Free
Budget Bestie app review
The only improvements I’d love to see is more flexibility with the categories during set up, especially for users with multiple bank accounts as it would make organising finances even more smoother.
It would also be unreal if there was a way to add savings account interest rates so users can track how much extra their earning from their savings overtime with consistent deposits as long as the user read terms and conditions correctly from their bank.
Also ran into an issues when logging into my account on another phone as it wanted me to repay the subscription.
Other than this, can’t stop recommending this app to family and friends in need of a budget in their lives!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for supporting Budget Bestie! It means a lot hearing that the app has helped simplify your budgeting and move you away from spreadsheets and paper tracking. We really appreciate your feedback! We do have a feature request section within the app settings where users can upvote requests and submit their own ideas if they’re not already listed. We prioritize building features based on the requests with the highest upvotes. As for the subscription issue on another device, your subscription is tied to your Apple ID. If the device is using the same Apple ID, all you need to do is scroll down and tap “Restore Purchases” on the paywall and it should resolve right away. If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at support@budgetbestie.app, always happy to help! Thanks again for recommending Budget Bestie to your friends and family, we truly appreciate it! Sasha, CEO & Co-Founder
Love this!

Hey Kristi 73, We’re sorry the experience felt frustrating. Budget Bestie is a subscription based app, and pricing details are displayed directly on the App Store listing before downloading. We also offer a free trial so users can explore the app before being charged. As a small team, subscriptions allow us to continue improving the app and building new features based on user feedback. Many of our users find they save far more than the cost of the subscription through more intentional budgeting and spending habits. We appreciate you giving the app a try.
Manque de transparence… 🤥
J’ai pris le temps de tout configurer (budget, enveloppes, dépenses), pour finalement découvrir à la fin que l’accès est bloqué sans abonnement.
C’est vraiment frustrant et donne une mauvaise première impression. Dommage, car le concept est intéressant.
Response from developer
Nous sommes désolés que l’expérience d’intégration ait été frustrante. Budget Bestie est une application par abonnement, et les informations sur les tarifs sont affichées directement sur la fiche de l’App Store avant le téléchargement. Nous sommes une petite équipe soutenue par nos utilisateurs, et les abonnements nous permettent de continuer à améliorer l’application et à développer de nouvelles fonctionnalités basées sur les retours de nos utilisateurs. Beaucoup de nos utilisateurs constatent qu’ils économisent bien plus que le coût de l’abonnement grâce à une gestion plus intentionnelle de leur budget et de leurs dépenses. (Traduit de l’anglais)
Love it! Need a dent feature too
horrible!
Not free
Other than that, it has great colors.
Want to love

Hi Sarsar00, It sounds like there may be some confusion around how savings envelopes work. When you stuff money into a savings envelope, it’s still part of your total “you have” amount because it’s still your money, it’s just being set aside. The app is designed to reflect the full amount across all your accounts so you can track both your spending and your savings in one place. When you start a new budget, you’re only stuffing new income that you add. Your saved money isn’t being added again unless you choose to move it out of your savings envelopes. If you’re noticing something different or it doesn’t feel right, feel free to email me at support@budgetbestie.app and I can take a closer look with you. Thanks, Sasha, CEO & Co-Founder
