What is Rocket Money?

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you take control of your spending, manage subscriptions, negotiate bills, and automate savings.

With over 10 million members and more than $2.5 billion in gross savings generated, the app has proven its value. Once you link your checking, savings, credit, and investment accounts, Rocket Money categorizes your spending, alerts you to recurring payments, and helps you set achievable savings goals.

YNAB

Application Information

Developer You Need a Budget, Inc., founded by Jesse Mecham
Supported Platforms
  • Web browsers
  • iOS (iPhone/iPad)
  • Android devices
Language Support Primarily English; available in countries with bank-linking and currency support
Pricing Model 34-day free trial, then paid subscription required for full access

What is YNAB?

YNAB (You Need a Budget) is a budgeting application built around the principle of giving every dollar a job, using a zero-based budgeting method to help users actively assign and track their income, expenses, savings and goals. With real-time syncing across devices and a dedicated budgeting methodology, YNAB aims to shift users from reactive spending to proactive money management, reducing stress and increasing financial clarity.

How YNAB Works

In an era where many people feel they don't know where their money is going, YNAB offers a structured approach to controlling finances rather than simply monitoring them. Instead of waiting to see what's left at the end of the month, YNAB prompts you to assign each incoming dollar toward a purpose: expenses, savings, debt payoff or buffer. This fosters intentional spending and savings—aligning your finances with your life priorities.

The app's interface allows linking bank and credit accounts or entering transactions manually, categorising spending, and tracking the progress of goals and budgets. According to the developer, the average user in their survey saves significantly and feels less stress about money.

YNAB
YNAB budgeting interface

Key Features

Zero-Based Budgeting

Assign every dollar a specific job so income minus expenses equals zero, ensuring intentional spending.

Real-Time Syncing

Access your budget on web, iOS, and Android with automatic updates and syncing across all devices.

Goal Setting & Planning

Plan for irregular or upcoming large costs by creating buffer categories for "true expenses."

Flexible Budget Adjustments

Move money between budget categories when overspending occurs or priorities change.

Educational Resources

Built-in workshops, support community, and tutorials help users adopt the budgeting method effectively.

Download or Access Link

How to Use YNAB

1
Sign Up & Connect Accounts

Sign up for a free trial via YNAB's website or mobile app and link your bank, savings, credit-card accounts (or choose manual entry).

2
Import Your Balances

Import or enter your current account balances and recent transactions to bring your budget up to date.

3
Create Budget Categories

Create budget categories (e.g., Rent, Groceries, Entertainment, Savings, Debt Repayment) and assign each dollar of your available money to a category.

4
Track Your Spending

As you spend, enter or let the app import transactions; review the "Available" amounts in each category to track how much you may still spend.

5
Plan for True Expenses

For upcoming expenses like insurance or annual subscriptions, create "true expense" categories and allocate small amounts monthly so the cost is already funded when due.

6
Adjust When Needed

If you overspend in one category, use the app's flexibility to move funds from another category rather than overspending overall.

7
Age Your Money

Work toward "ageing your money"—the goal is to reach a point where you are spending last month's income this month rather than this month's income, increasing buffer and stability.

8
Review Regularly

Review your budget regularly (daily quick check, monthly full review) to keep categories aligned, refine spending, and adjust for life changes.

9
Subscribe After Trial

After the trial ends, subscribe if you wish to continue using full-feature access; otherwise, you can cancel before charges apply.

Important Limitations

No Free Tier: After the 34-day trial you must subscribe to continue using full functionality.
  • Hands-on approach required: The method works best if you actively allocate funds and review your budget regularly; less suited for passive "set-and-forget" use.
  • Bank connection issues: Some users report limited automatic import support or regional bank connection issues outside major markets.
  • Limited investment features: The app focuses strongly on budgeting and spending; fewer features for investments tracking, credit-score monitoring or bill negotiation compared to some rivals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try YNAB before I pay?

Yes—YNAB offers a free trial (34 days) with full access to features so you can test the method before subscribing.

What happens after the trial?

After the free trial ends, you must subscribe (monthly or annual plan) to continue using the app with full features.

Does YNAB automatically import transactions?

Yes, it supports direct import from many banks, but some users may find linking is not perfect or manual entry may still be needed.

Is YNAB suitable for beginners?

Yes—but note it takes some effort to set up budget categories and get familiar with the method. If you prefer a fully automated "financial autopilot" tool, you may need to commit to the learning curve.

Will using YNAB help me save money?

Many users report improved control over their money, reduced stress and better savings habits through the method of budgeting actively. However, results depend on user engagement.

Important Limitations to Consider

Bank Linking Availability: Bank import and open banking features may be limited or unavailable in certain countries. Many users still need to enter transactions manually depending on their region.
  • Premium Required for Full Features: While basic budgeting is free, advanced functionality like sharing, multiple accounts, and bank imports requires a paid Premium subscription.
  • Limited Transaction Splitting: Some users report the inability to split a single transaction across multiple budget categories, which can be inconvenient for complex purchases.
  • Budgeting Focus Only: Buddy specializes in budgeting and expense tracking rather than investment management or professional financial advising—users needing deep analytics may require additional tools.
  • Free Tier Restrictions: The free version works well for simple budgets, but power users managing multiple accounts or shared household finances will likely need the Premium tier for optimal value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Buddy really free to use?

Yes, Buddy is free to download and offers essential budgeting and expense tracking features at no cost. However, to access the complete feature set—including unlimited accounts, bank imports, and collaborative budgeting—you'll need to subscribe to the Premium plan (available as monthly or annual subscription).

Can I link my bank account in Buddy?

Bank linking availability depends on your region. Buddy supports open banking and automatic transaction imports in some countries, but many markets still require manual transaction entry. Check the app's supported features for your specific location to confirm bank connectivity options.

Can I share my budget with someone else?

Absolutely! Collaborative budgeting is one of Buddy's standout features. You can invite partners, roommates, or family members to join your budget, track shared expenses together, and split costs transparently. This makes it ideal for managing household finances or shared living situations.

Is Buddy good for advanced financial tracking like investments?

Buddy focuses primarily on budgeting, expense tracking, and savings planning rather than investment management or bill negotiation.

What is Cleo AI?

Cleo is an AI-powered personal finance app that transforms budgeting into an engaging conversation.

Unlike traditional finance apps, Cleo uses a personality-driven chatbot interface that makes money management feel less intimidating and more interactive.

The app combines essential budgeting tools with optional short-term cash advances, creating an all-in-one platform for users who want both financial tracking and occasional emergency funding. Whether you're trying to understand where your paycheck goes or building better saving habits, Cleo offers a modern approach to personal finance management.

Cleo AI

Why Choose Cleo for Money Management?

In today's digital banking landscape, automatic payments and tap-to-pay transactions make it easy to lose track of spending. Cleo addresses this challenge by providing real-time visibility into your financial habits through an approachable AI assistant.

The app's conversational interface removes the complexity typically associated with budgeting software. Instead of navigating through multiple screens and charts, you simply ask questions like "How much did I spend on dining out this month?" and receive instant, actionable answers. This natural interaction style makes financial awareness accessible to users who might feel overwhelmed by traditional finance tools.

Important Notice: While the free version provides valuable budgeting features, premium capabilities like cash advances, credit building, and higher savings limits require a paid subscription. Additionally, in March 2025, Cleo settled with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding misleading claims about cash advances and subscriptions.

8
Manage Subscription

If you no longer need premium features, cancel or downgrade to the free tier while continuing to use basic budgeting and tracking tools.

Important Limitations to Consider

  • Subscription Required for Premium Features: While the free version offers useful budgeting capabilities, valuable functions like cash advances, credit-builder tools, and higher advance limits require a paid subscription.
  • Mandatory Bank Linking: Full functionality requires connecting your bank account. Users with unsupported banks or those outside supported regions may face limited features or need to rely on manual entry.
  • Modest Cash Advance Limits: Advance amounts are relatively small (typically up to $250 or less for new users) and require repayment. Instant transfer options incur additional fees, which can reduce the benefit of "no-interest" advances.
  • AI Personality May Not Suit Everyone: The chatbot's sassy or "roasting" tone appeals to some users but may feel inappropriate or unprofessional to others. Expense categorization (essential vs. non-essential) may occasionally be inaccurate.
  • Regulatory Concerns: In March 2025, Cleo settled with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over misleading claims about cash advances and subscription terms, which may raise concerns about transparency and business practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cleo safe and legitimate?

Yes — Cleo is a legitimate financial technology company offering budgeting, savings, and cash-advance services. The app uses secure bank-linking technology (such as Plaid) and has been reviewed by multiple independent sources. However, users should be aware of the March 2025 FTC settlement regarding misleading claims.

Can I use Cleo without paying a subscription?

Yes — the free tier provides access to basic budgeting, spending tracking, and savings tools. However, premium features like cash advances, credit-builder functionality, and express transfers require upgrading to a paid subscription plan.

How much can I borrow with Cleo's cash advance feature?

Eligibility and limits vary by user. New users typically qualify for smaller amounts (approximately $20–$100), with limits increasing based on account activity and usage history. Some established users report access to advances up to $250, depending on their subscription plan and financial patterns.

Will the AI chat replace a human financial advisor?

No — Cleo's AI chatbot is designed for automated budgeting insights and savings mechanics, not comprehensive financial planning. The advice is algorithm-based and may lack the nuance required for complex financial situations. For personalized investment strategies or major financial decisions, consult a qualified human financial advisor.

What regions does Cleo support?

Cleo primarily supports the United States market. Bank compatibility varies, and users outside supported financial institutions may experience limited functionality. The app was previously available in the UK but currently focuses on the U.S. market. Always verify your region and bank support before relying on advanced features.

虽然AI是强大的财务助手,专家强调明智且安全地使用这些工具的重要性。AI应用应作为补充——而非替代——理性财务判断和必要时的专业建议。
