Go Budget embraces the philosophy that the best way to manage your budget is the old school way - by setting budgeting goals and manually tracking your progress. Go Budget makes this as simple as possible, and automates things that repeat like bills and regular income. 

Our budgeting method is strongly influenced by the envelope budget method, which has been battle-proven by millions of successful budgeters over the years. Go Budget makes things a bit simpler than putting money in physical envelopes, but the core principles are the same - start with your income and separate your money for bills, spending, and saving.

Go Budget supports a variety of different budgeting time periods:

- Monthly budgeting
- Weekly budgeting
- Semi-monthly budgeting
- Bi-weekly budgeting

This enables you to budget in the way that makes sense for you.

The app also supports pretty much any type of income or bill schedule, so you can stay on top of things without having to enter them again and again every time they repeat.

With Go Budget+, you can manage your household budget painlessly - every purchase and bill payment will be synced with all budget members automatically.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-02-26*

Love the app. Sorry to see it is going. Actively searching for something similar that is free.

### 3/5 — One key feature missing

*2024-12-21, version 1.3.4*

I really liked the app, however, there is one thing that makes the app unusable to me. It’s not possible to assign a category/budget to a bill

### 5/5 — Custom currency?

*2024-12-16*

Hope you could add a custom currency option. Otherwise, the app is perfect.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2023-12-24*

This app is awesome. What is the latest. Is the developer still meaning the ship?

### 4/5 — Perfect

*2023-11-14*

It would be great if i am able to set billing frequency as 3 months.
Most of my bills are coming every 3 months.

Cheers!

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use unlike the big apps

*2023-06-03*

It’s really easy to use unlike the other apps and it’s definitely worth trying

### 5/5 — Only app I like aesthetically

*2023-01-08, version 1.3.4*

I’ve been using Go for the last 6 months and it’s a good looking expense tracker. It’s not perfect, but I like using it.

### 5/5 — Six Stars

*2022-10-16*

I’d give this app six stars if I could, it’s intuitive and beautiful and has just the features I was looking for in a budgeting app. Great work!

### 5/5 — FINALLY

*2021-09-15*

I have used almost every bigger names budgeting app on the App Store. This is the one I have been searching for. I plan my budgets monthly, but I get paid bi-weekly and so does my wife. I like to know ahead of time week to week if our income will cover the bills for a given week. This is the first app I have found that is flexible enough and also shows us that information. Cannot praise this one enough. So excited to have finally found what I’ve been looking for in a budgeting app!

### 5/5 — WOW

*2021-09-07*

This is the exact type of app i’ve been looking for and I can not be any happier to have actually found it, it is absolutely amazing. I use this app in addition to an app connected to my bank. I only wish that it hadn't been abandoned because it is no longer receiving updates and the notifications are not working. Otherwise, 10 stars for sure!!
