## What is Smart Buy Decide?

Smart Buy Decide helps you pause, think, and make better purchase decisions — before impulse buying costs you money.

Whether you're eyeing new headphones, clothes, or another "must-have" item, Smart Buy Decide gives you a simple framework to decide: buy it, wait, or skip it.

HOW IT WORKS
• Enter what you want to buy and the price
• Answer quick evaluation questions (need vs want, affordability, emotional state, and more)
• Get a confidence score and a clear recommendation
• Use a wait period to reduce impulse purchases
• Log your final decision and track what you've saved

KEY FEATURES
• Impulse Check — evaluate any purchase in seconds
• Wait Period — give yourself 24–48 hours (or longer) before deciding
• Purchase History — see what you bought, skipped, and saved
• No-Buy Challenge — log impulse-free days and build streaks
• Savings Tracker — see estimated savings from skipped purchases
• Work-hours calculator — understand cost in time, not just money
• Multi-currency support

PREMIUM (7-DAY FREE TRIAL)
• Unlimited purchase evaluations
• Extended wait periods
• Full history & calendar
• Budget tracking by category
• Export your data
• Detailed insights & summaries

Smart Buy Decide is designed to support better spending habits — not replace financial advice. Small pauses lead to big savings over time.

Download Smart Buy Decide and turn "not buying" into a daily win.

### 1.1 — 2026-02-15

Easier way to try Premium and see your progress
See your free evaluation count – Home screen shows how many of your 3 free evaluations you’ve used, with a quick way to try Premium when you’re ready.
Celebrate when you skip – After you skip your first purchase we show how much you saved and offer a 3-day free trial to unlock full history and more.
Try Premium from onboarding – On the last intro step you can tap “Try Premium free for 3 days” to start your trial right away.
Clearer upgrade options – A “Start 3-day free trial” card appears on the home screen for free users (dismissible). Premium pricing is shown in your local currency.
Simpler paywall – The Free vs Premium comparison is behind a “See full comparison” link so the main screen is shorter and the main button is easier to find.
