A free budget app — actually free, forever
Most "free" budget apps are two-week trials with a card form. BudgetSmart Base is free forever — no trial clock, no credit card, no ads. Download it, create your account, and budget.
What you get for $0
- Budgets with rollover and a real-time safe-to-spend number so your bank balance stops lying to you
- Savings goals with required-monthly pacing and projected finish dates
- Debt tracking — balances, APRs and minimums in one view
- Accounts & transactions with custom categories and tags
- CSV export — your data is yours, take it anywhere
- Local-first privacy — data stays on your device, works fully offline
When you outgrow free
Upgrade only if you want automation: bank statement import with auto-categorization, subscription detection, overspending alerts and monthly email recaps start at $5/month (Tier 1). Forecasting and investing land at $9, and the full tax-intelligence suite at $13. Cancel anytime — the free tier keeps working with your data intact.
Free on every platform we ship
Windows 10/11, Linux (AppImage, deb, apt) and Android. Your account syncs your plan across devices — and the free tier never expires on any of them.
