About this app

Where does all your money go? Exactly where you tell it to!


“We started YNAB January 1st with $37 saved and ended the year with $42,000. Plus we paid $14,000 cash for a new roof.”
-Kyle, YNAB user since 2020


If you’re like the average YNABer (just AVERAGE), you’ll save $600 in the first two months. And $6,000 in the first year. But you might experience something much more powerful than a growing bank account balance or paid off credit cards: 92% of YNABers report feeling less stressed since starting YNAB.


“YNAB has removed the stress of money from my life and in doing so has helped make me a better husband. It's like I got to remove a personal flaw I had never been able to fix."
-Kyle, again. We didn’t even pay him to say this, but maybe we should.


Every dollar represents you—it’s the product of your energy. You work too hard for all that to go to waste. We’ll show you how to give every dollar a job, so your paychecks are working toward your priorities and values, your wants and needs, your work and your play. Your money is your life. Spend it well with YNAB.

Long time user. Really a great app, for several key reasons. Having budget amounts synced across family phones makes it possible for us to really stick to a budget: before we always forgot to enter things and had outdated info on how much we could spend at the grocery store. YNAB downloads transactions and guesses at what budget they come from, and I can quickly go through and correct any mistakes it makes. This means the amounts remaining in those budget categories are likely to be accurate.

Thanks for your review, Bryce. Glad you called out that ahhhhh feeling of being able to look at your categories and know what you can spend. Feeling confident about your spending really is everything! We're happy you're using YNAB and here for you if any questions pop up along the way! -Blair@YNAB

UPDATE: I want to love this app so much. It is perfect. However, throughout the years, the speediness of import is so frustrating. I have seen it update almost daily, to not seeing an update for multiple days. I have uninstalled, unlinked, relinked, reconciled everything. Adding transactions manually is not conducive to my lifestyle, plus I would use a MUCH cheaper app to monitor things manually if that is what I have to do.

I can't thoroughly enough describe the cult that exists around this app in both the fans and the staff. I get that they love it, I do. But they see no shortcomings, and it never improves be cause of it. If auto-inports don't work, we'll those are dumb anyway so don't use them. If your credit card isn't linking, they straight up suggest you cancel it so you can use the app properly. It's like an SCP, everything in service of the god-app.
