ProsperPulse helps you take control of your money by doing something most apps won’t—slowing you down. We’re not here to track your spending after the fact. We’re here to stop the regret before it happens. ProsperPulse uses Friction as a Service (FaaS) to interrupt impulsive decisions in real time. When you’re about to spend, we step in with just enough resistance to help you pause, think, and make a smarter choice. Because better financial habits aren’t built with more information—they’re built in the moments that matter. What You’ll Love Real-time spending friction that helps you avoid impulse buys No-spend streaks to build consistency and discipline Simple, clean design that keeps you focused Behavior-driven approach (not just budgeting) Progress you can actually feel Why It Works Most apps track your past.

Built for Momentum Whether you're trying to save more, spend less, or finally stick to a plan, ProsperPulse helps you turn small daily wins into long-term financial growth. Start strong.
