Recommendations for Budgeting App (that’s not Mint) - Lemmy.world

After years of Mint I’ve decided to look for other options. Im considering doing it myself in a spreadsheet but before I go that route (not ideal) I thought I’d see if anyone had recommendations on good basic family-budget apps. Would be great if it could link with bank accounts but I’m open to anything at this point.

Actual Budget looks like a promising self-hosted option. Don’t think there’s any bank linking, though it’s been on the roadmap for a while. I’ve looked around and haven’t found anything else that I’d believe isn’t selling all of your financial data to advertisers.

This looks really good and does look like they have account linking. I’m bummed by the subscription fee…lol it looks so promising I’m sure if I do the free trial I’ll end up loving it.

Subscription fee? Actual is self hosted and “100% free” according to their docs.

I signed in from my computer and you’re absolutely right. I was wrong; for some reason the iOS mobile app leads to a subscription authorization for $8.

Now I just have to get my head around the tech side of this. Wish me luck!
