Quick entry

The two reasons people switch

Everything else is nice. These two are why people stay.

REASON 1

Type "lunch 12". It's saved.

No forms. Type it like a text. Snap a receipt and it reads every line.

REASON 2

Your money stays on your phone.

No sign-up. No ads. No server of ours ever sees your money. iCloud sync only if you turn it on.

ADD EXPENSES IN SECONDS

Common questions

More on the support page.

Is my data backed up?

Your data lives on your phone. Export a backup from Settings and import it on a new phone. iCloud sync keeps a copy in your own iCloud, which we cannot see.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for. It works offline.

What does Budgetine send off my phone?

Optional iCloud sync copies records and receipts to your private iCloud. Optional analytics and referrals use limited service data, never financial records. Raw analytics events are kept for up to 90 days; anonymous daily summaries are kept longer. Apple handles purchases and app-version checks. The privacy policy has the details.

What happens if I stop paying for Pro?

The free app keeps working. Pro features lock again. Your data stays yours, and you can export it.
