My EBT Wallet is a simple budgeting companion that helps you keep track of how you use your EBT benefits without connecting to your actual card. You can manually enter and update your current balance, log purchases and deposits, and see a clear transaction list that reflects how your funds change over time. A built‑in map and store directory help you find retailers that accept EBT, both online and in‑store, so you always know where you can shop. When you record a transaction, you can indicate whether it used SNAP or Cash benefits and categorize spending into food, household items, children’s products, and more for better insight. The app supports adding one or multiple EBT cards, letting you track different cards in one place while still keeping full control of what you enter. Educational sections provide practical tips on budgeting and stretching your EBT benefits, with guidance on planning ahead and managing month‑to‑month spending. In the free version, you can create up to five income and expense records, see only your five most recent operations, add one EBT card, and access three financial advice articles, which is ideal for testing the app. Upgrading to Premium unlocks unlimited expense and deposit entries, full transaction history, support for multiple EBT cards, and access to all budgeting tips and learning materials. Premium users also get detailed spending analytics by category, helping them see patterns, spot problem areas, and make smarter decisions with their benefits. Whether you are new to EBT or just want more control over your budget, My EBT Wallet keeps your benefits organized, transparent, and easier to manage day by day.
