Overall sentiment: negative **Cons** - 💰 Forced subscription - 💰 Paid app for a basic calculator - 💰 Pay to save money - 💰 Not really free to use - 💰 Subscription required to use app **Commonly reported bugs** - Too many pop-ups ## Newest reviews (12 of 211) ### 2/5 — Seemingly good budgeting function but super buggy *2026-08-22, version 2.3.3(4)* ^ ### 3/5 — Don’t know how I like it *2026-08-15, version 2.3.3(4)* I’m a kid and it won’t let me subtract from the random price And don’t like that ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-02-25, version 2.0.9 (8)* The way they want you to spend money wheel marketing it’s supposed to help you save and spend less money is hypocritical and disgusting ### 1/5 — Bad business design *2026-02-19, version 2.0.9 (8)* App lectures you about saving money and not impulse buying and then immediately tries to make you pay for their service. I said bye bye to the app. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-02-14, version 2.0.9 (8)* Required payment to use ### 1/5 — Cost *2026-02-12, version 2.0.9 (8)* I am not quite sure why this app is marked as to “free” when i have to download it only to find a paywall, at that point just make the app a set price and not yet another subscription. I did want to use this app, but there isn’t even any form of a free version for me to try it out on. So no I do not like this app, because it’s supposed to save you money, yet the first thing after you fill in the survey is be met by a pay wall. ### 1/5 — Buy it? *2026-02-07, version 2.0.9 (8)* You have to pay for it. ### 1/5 — Catfish *2026-02-06, version 2.0.9 (8)* Don’t use this app ### 1/5 — never trusting an app again *2026-02-04, version 2.0.9 (8)* download the app to save money but needs to pay to use the app? surely that's just encouraging more impulse buying? call me crazy because it's only 2.50 a month but i'm trying to save up enough to buy something if I have an emergency and can't pay but now i'm getting knocked down my silly subscriptions every month, i'll just be homeless i don't care ### 1/5 — Obligé de payer pour utiliser le service *2026-01-31* Pour vous « aider » à économiser il faut d’abord passer à la caisse, dommage l’application avait l’air sympa… **Developer response:** Hi there! The Worth It analyzer in the app is now completely free. ### 1/5 — horrible app why do i need to pay *2026-01-28, version 2.0.9 (8)* you want me to save money yet your asking me to pay for an additional service… no possible free version.. will not download again negative 5 stars ### 1/5 — Pay to use *2026-01-22, version 2.0.8 (5)* There is absolutely nothing you can do on the app without paying so don’t think the app is free to download. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-02, version 2.2.4 (5)* You have to buy the subscription to be able to add any income and expenses so the app is pointless without the subscription ### 1/5 — No thanks *2026-04-27, version 2.1.4 (5)* immediately asking for a review just to stick us behind a pay wall. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — DON’T GET THIS APP!! *2026-03-30, version 2.0.10 (8)* This app want you to pay for a yearly subscription to save your money.. WASTE OF TIME ### 1/5 — Décevant *2026-03-29* Devoir payer absolument pour économiser ça semble contre productif selon moi… **Developer response:** Thanks for the note! You can now use the Worth It analyzer, to see how much time items cost, for free without a subscription 🙂 ### 1/5 — Paying *2026-03-23, version 2.0.10 (8)* Because you have to pay?! ### 1/5 — Save $30 a year by NOT subscribing *2026-03-23, version 2.0.10 (8)* I saved an hour of work every year by not subscribing to buybye, a glorified fancy calculator. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-03-23, version 2.0.10 (8)* The irony having to pay for an app that is supposed to help you “track” and “save” a few bucks.. Don’t even bother downloading this app ### 1/5 — An app to save money. That costs money. *2026-03-17, version 2.0.9 (8)* This is £30 billed annually, for a calculator that you can have ready to go in your iOS notes app. You only get a two day trial, and the developer only offers their free website as an alternative, which isn’t the same. Save your money, spend 2 minutes writing a list and use your iOS’ notes app to do these calculations yourself. ### 1/5 — “Spend money to save money” *2026-03-14, version 2.0.9 (8)* A paid subscription to help you save money? Are we serious here bro? Stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Use your brain instead of paying an ai to do it for you ### 1/5 — SUCKS *2026-03-09, version 2.0.9 (8)* Have to pay them? $24! No way. They also add the same generated response to everyone who complains about the payment ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I recommend but as a kid not so much *2026-06-28, version 2.2.3 (4)* This is a rlly good app and I like saving but there is no option for like making 0 money cuz I’m a kid and think they should make some changes and some way to help make money or something like giving tasks or giving people the option to put tasks on the app so other can make money. But I am just a kid and I know getting one 1 star needs 12 five stars to make it up so I will give you the review everyone wants. Hope this helps! (Sorry if I didn’t make the help this app has given me more specific) ### 5/5 — Love it!!!🥰❤️🥰 *2026-06-05, version 2.2.1 (2)* I really like this app! It helps me to track my spending but also puts into perspective my spending and what I’m spending on! It/ really been helping me reach my goals! ### 5/5 — On top of my finances *2026-05-19, version 2.2.0 (1)* I’ve put off budgeting for so long but actually tracking everything coming in and out has really made all the difference. The extra of seeing the price of things in time and what they could be if invested instead also keeps me from buying stupid stuff ### 5/5 — Help me it helped me save *2026-04-01, version 2.0.10 (8)* Saving ### 5/5 — 良いアプリ *2026-03-29* このアプリを使って得られる金銭感覚はお金には代え難いくらい大切だと思う。この出費は大体何時間分の労働に値するのか？という感覚・思考の癖をつけられるのは嬉しい。 長く使いたいから、買い切りプランを提供してほしいな！ ### 5/5 — money *2026-03-21, version 2.0.10 (8)* jai pas dargent pour payer mon abonnement mais cest okay ### 5/5 — iamasian *2026-03-02, version 2.0.9 (8)* really good app helps you save money and save up ### 5/5 — updated review after develpers reached out. *2026-01-21* … **Developer response:** Appreciate the review. If you’d like to try the core feature for free, we’ve added a no-login version of the ‘Worth It?’ calculator on our site www.buybye.fun. Thanks again for the feedback. ### 5/5 — saved me lots of money *2026-01-16, version 2.0.8 (5)* love love love this app ### 5/5 — finally found out how to save money *2025-12-15, version 2.0.8 (5)* just saved a few dollars by not purchasing the plan this app offers.
