Frequently asked questions
What makes Budgey different from other budgeting apps?+
Budgey is built around one number — what you have left this pay period — with budgets that follow your actual paychecks (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). It adds an AI layer no competitor matches: BaoBot, a conversational assistant, AI receipt scanning, and an MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI agent can manage your budget. And it is free to start on iOS, Android, and Web.
Is Budgey really free?+
Yes — the free plan is a real budget (categories, goals, cross-device sync) that never expires. Budgey Unlimited ($10/month or $100/year) removes limits and adds bank sync, unlimited BaoBot and receipt scanning, reports and AI insights, shared budgets, and themes.
Which budgeting app is the best Mint replacement?+
It depends on what you used Mint for. If you mainly want net-worth and account tracking, Monarch Money is strong. If you want an actual budget with automatic transaction import — the thing most Mint users budgeted with — Budgey covers it with a free plan, bank sync with an approval inbox, and an AI assistant.
Can I try Budgey before paying anything?+
Yes, and without a trial clock: the free plan works forever. Most people start free, then upgrade to Unlimited when they want bank sync or unlimited AI.
Ready to feel good about money?
Budgey is free on iOS, Android, and Web. It takes about two minutes — BaoBot will build your first budget with you.
