User reviews

Another YNAB refugee

After all the silly changes in YNAB the past few years, liquid budget is a breath of fresh air. An envelope budget at a reasonable price, developed and supported by someone who truly gets the beauty of envelope budgeting.

The app and web interface are simple and intuitive, and the import and setup from YNAB was fairly straightforward.

Nice work!

If you’re thinking about moving from YNAB, just do it

I have been considering quitting YNAB for years, and I started back in YNAB4. The price keeps going up, the stuff they seem to care about doesn’t make any difference to me. This app completely replaces it for me and has additional things like projections and a calendar and the reports actually look good. Downloading transactions has been simple and the mobile app is minimalist and clean. And it’s all cheap!

I’ve been using it for about three days and I doubt I will go back. Well done solo developer!

Came over from YNAB-- LOVE IT!!

Longtime YNAB user here. Got tired of all of the "bells and whistles" that I never used being added to it, and couldn't stand the AI direction the company is gearing up for. Switched to LB a few months ago and I'm very impressed and love it. It's simple and clean, very stable and functional, and the developer is very responsive on Reddit. Please never go anywhere, ADP!!

Love it

So far I am really liking it. Love the fact that it is being actively developed. I liked the idea of YNAB but wanted to try this out first to see if it would do the trick. So far I think the simplicity is gonna make it a winner!

Decade+ YNAB user has found a home

I’ve used YNAB since before it was cloud based and with the last couple of years polarizing the community I have kept looking for a replacement only to be forced back to YNAB.

However THIS app is the one! I’ve used it for several months and it’s awesome and my full time app. The developer is very active and responsive, and he also GETS what makes YNAB and envelope budgeting special.
