24 alternatives to Budgero
I built Budgero because I was frustrated with YNAB being expensive, region-limited, and not privacy-focused. Budgero is a budgeting app that’s privacy-first, supports multiple currencies, works offline, and gives you full control of your data. You can try it here: https://demo.budgero.app/ (data not saved). For anyone interested in getting into beta sign up at: https://my.budgero.app (I will be sending invites soon) Feedback welcome!

Hi HN, I built Whisper Money because I was frustrated that every personal finance app wanted full access to my bank credentials, fed my transactions into AI systems, or sold my spending data to third parties. Whisper Money takes a different approach: - *No bank credential sharing* - Import your transactions via CSV/XLS exports from your bank. No Plaid, no OAuth to your bank, no third-party integrations that can get breached. - *No AI snooping* - Your transactions are never fed into AI systems you don't control. - *No third-party data sharing* - Your financial data is never shared with…

Hi HN, I wanted to share an app I've created recently since it might be useful for you: guitos is a free open-source budgeting app that helps you figure out where your money went and plan your budget ahead of time. It was initially created to replace a spreadsheet I created based on the budgeting advice given on the r/personalfinance subreddits and as an opportunity to learn React. The app stores data in your browser's local storage (IndexedDB). Your private financial data doesn't leave your browser. (If you're wondering what the app's name means: "guitos" is portuguese slang for…

We built a local-first, private, multi-currency, double-entry based personal finance app. It will help you track, visualize, and plan your financial journey. Use the `Try demo` button, to try it without an account. Small screens (mobiles) are not supported yet. By local-first we mean, your data is on your system (we use sqlite over opfs, in browser). For synching across devices, the data is encrypted with your key before it leaves your device. You can backup the data locally (if you are using chrome) and/or to your dropbox. It's designed so that we (the people building it) can't access…

Zerosum▲3I've been a YNAB user for years but couldn't justify $109/yr for an app where I never used bank sync. So I built my own. ZeroSum is zero-based budgeting (same envelope method) with a full YNAB import wizard — bring your entire budget history over. 50+ currencies, shared budgets, analytics, keyboard shortcuts. $40/yr. Stack: React (Vite + TanStack Router) on Cloudflare Pages, Hono + tRPC on Render. Happy to talk about the technical decisions. Try it free for 35 days: https://zerosum.so
