Great Budgeting App!

I’ve been using Zerosum for about three months after trying numerous other budgeting systems. I’ve found a new home to plan and track my finances. I really like the plethora of highly customizable reports. This is as close to perfection in zero based budgeting I’ve found!

10 Stars Worthy

Zerosum is a life changing budgeting app! I couldn’t imagine my life without it. Truly the best experience over other zero based budgeting apps.

Great!

Zerosum is an excellent zero-based budget application. It‘s more robust than competitors and more customizable than YNAB. And less expensive. If you want to import your transactions, Plaid is now available. If you don’t want to import or Plaid isn’t available where you live, your lower subscription price doesn’t subsidize those who do use Plaid.

Best Zero Based Budgeting Available

After 14 years using YNAB, I’ve finally found a software that beats it and for way less! Highly customizable, ridiculous levels of reports, and it just works. I highly recommend you give Zerosum a chance because I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

The best zero based budgeting app!

The title I have given this review is deadly serious. I have tried pretty much every envelope budgeting app including the “big brand”. Zerosum is something else! It allows me to follow the zero based budget method but at the same time to bespoke my approach to suit my own particular needs. It does not overly constrain me and certainly does not “preach” at me. So whether your needs are simple, or more complex with comprehensive reporting, ZeroSum is my firm recommendation.
