$12.99 a month sounds small. $156 a year doesn't. Spendwise is the budgeting app that runs itself. Connect your NZ bank account securely through Akahu, and every transaction is pulled in and categorised automatically β groceries, fuel, subscriptions, takeaways β no spreadsheets, no manual entry, no guilt. See where your money actually goes: A clear monthly picture shows you income, spending, category breakdowns, trends, and your top merchants. Catch the money leaks: Spendwise spots recurring payments and subscriptions, flags price rises, doubled-up services, and quiet habits that add up β always showing the yearly reality behind the monthly cost. One number for your financial health: The Confidence Score blends your savings rate, spending trend, safety buffer, subscription load, and budget progress into a single 0β100 score. Private by design: Bank connections are read-only via Akahu β we can see transactions, never move money. Your data is never sold, and you can delete everything, any time, from inside the app. Want a look before connecting anything? Demo mode gives you a full, realistic tour without touching a bank account. Spendwise is an information tool, not financial advice. Made in New Zealand for New Zealanders.
