## What is PBudget?

PBudget is the personal budget ledger that balances itself. Securely connect your bank accounts and PBudget imports and categorizes every transaction for you — no spreadsheets, no manual entry.

WHAT PBUDGET DOES
• Automatic import — link your banks (via Plaid) and your transactions flow in and get categorized automatically.
• Smart review — PBudget flags the things worth a second look: unusual amounts, likely duplicate charges, and transfers between your own accounts. Approve or merge in one tap.
• Real budgets — create your own categories, set a monthly budget for each, and see spend vs. budget at a glance.
• Clear dashboard — spend this month, monthly average, budget used, and a 12-month trend, all in one view.
• Vendor matching — group messy merchant names so your spending actually adds up.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your financial data is encrypted, never sold, and never shared. Delete your account and all of its data at any time, right from the app.

PLANS
Start free with one bank connection. Upgrade to Pro or Max to connect more banks. Subscriptions purchased in the app are billed through your app store; you can also subscribe on the web at pbudget.ppvnx.com.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
Pro and Max are auto-renewable monthly subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews monthly unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
