Free Budgeting App

Hi! This could be wishful thinking, but is there a free budgeting app similar to Piere that allows you to link multiple accounts with automatic calculations? I just created an account but quickly realized you can only link 3 accounts at a time without premium. Does anyone know of any other free options that aren’t strictly manual?

Mint really left a big hole. Sorry friend. Offering 3 accounts free is a steal in this market. Nothing else free with linked accounts.

Yes, no real free options there nowadays. Maybe Fidelity FullView can work for you, but the experience isn’t great.

The problem is that developers have to pay for services like Plaid to securely link accounts. So unless they make money elsewhere, they can’t afford to offer it for free. You might try Rocket Money, Personal Capital (now known as Empower), or NerdWallet for free options. If you’re willing to pay a bit, there’s DAS Budget, which charges based on the number of accounts linked. For more features, consider Copilot Money or Monarch Money.

Neontra lets you link one institution for free, and there’s no limit on the number of accounts within that institution.

Have you tried GoodBudget? It’s a free app that uses the envelope budgeting method, and while it doesn’t link directly to your accounts, you can input your transactions manually.
