Motivated!
Response from developer
Hi StellaLynnTX, thank you so much for your review! What you named, that The Beans doesn't cause you anxiety when you open it, is the first design principle at the company. This comes from my own experience of being stressed about money only to open my app and get a scary message, or to get a text that tells me I overspent ⚠️ I learned in graduate school that these negative messages actually make us more likely to spend our money 😬 so we work really hard to remove stressful things from the app and from our messaging. Thanks again, Stella. Don't hesitate to reach out when we can support you, just reply to any email or text we send! - Melissa, Founder + CEO

Great budgeting app!
Response from developer
Hey MarlyOneLove, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review, and for being so honest about your own experiences with budgeting apps. We've tried them all, too and work hard to make sure our Plans are as smart and effortless as possible to use. Don't lose that motivation! Though tbh, it's bound to happen at some point 🙃, and it's just as important to be graceful with yourself when that inevitable moment happens! Relapse is literally one of the 6 stages of behavior change 🤓 You definitely deserve to feel good about your money and we are thrilled to be your partners on the path to financial progress.

Hi MoneySaenz, (great handle, btw!) Thanks so much for your review and for offering to share The Beans with your community! That is genuinely the highest praise 🫶🏽 We spent a very long time turning cutting edge research about how we think and feel about our money into that Plan feature, and it's really wonderful to hear that it's easy to use and useful.

Not great for Entrepreneurs
Pulled $250 from my account

Hi Vada, thanks so much for this review. We messaged with you on September 22 and October 6th offering support. After going through our Essential Savings feature and granting permission to The Beans, we saved the money you asked us to and moved it to a wallet you control. I'm so sorry that this caused other issues with your finances. We always check to make sure you have enough money in your account to cover all upcoming bills X1.5 before making any transfers, just to be sure this exact thing doesn't happen. We are happy to cover the fee you incurred and to write a letter on your behalf to assist with getting your lease. Please reply to our latest email and let's find a time to make sure we make you completely whole. - Melissa, Founder + CEO

It is great.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for
The Beans does all of the work for me and they’ve created a plan that I’ve been able to stick to. I laid down my debts and have now started saving every month. This app really made a difference for me!
