Two people, one clear picture of the money — without the spreadsheet and without the arguments. CoupleExpenses is a shared budget and expense tracker built for exactly two people: you and your partner. Add an expense in seconds, see where the month actually went, and save toward something together. ONE SHARED SPACE FOR TWO Invite your partner with a single link. Every expense either of you adds appears for both of you instantly. WHO PAID, AT A GLANCE Each expense records who paid for it. No splitting math, no running tabs — just an honest picture of your household spending. SEE THE MONTH BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS Enter your income and watch what is left after spending and saving. Category breakdowns show where the money really goes. SAVE TOWARD SOMETHING TOGETHER Set shared goals — a trip, a deposit, a new couch — and put money aside toward them. Savings stay separate from spending, so your totals stay honest. CATEGORY BUDGETS THAT WARN YOU Set a monthly limit per category and get a heads-up at 80% and again when it is spent. KNOW THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS Your partner gets a notification the second you add an expense. No more "did you pay for that?" EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED • Receipt photos attached to any expense • CSV export of your full history • Face ID lock • Works offline — entries sync when you are back online • 38 currencies • English and Russian ONE SUBSCRIPTION COVERS BOTH OF YOU Only the person who creates the couple subscribes. Your partner joins free, forever. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS CoupleExpenses Premium costs $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, and both plans start with a 7-day free trial.
