About this app
I built LifeTrade because I wanted a simple question answered before I bought anything: is this really worth my time?
Every price is really a number of hours you traded your life for. LifeTrade shows you that number instantly, so you can make more cautious, mindful spending decisions you won't regret.
How it works
Enter your salary and working hours once. Type any price. See exactly how many hours, days, or months of work it costs, updating instantly as you type.
For your family too
I added an allowance mode for kids, so the same idea works with pocket money instead of a paycheck. Kids type a price and see how many weeks of allowance it takes to save up: a simple, hands-on way to build financial literacy without lectures or spreadsheets.
What else it does
• Wishlist: save up for things you want and see the total time cost
• Expenses tracker: keep an eye on recurring costs eating into your budget
• Accounts for your real, spendable income, not just gross salary
• Your language, your currency
• Fully private: everything stays on your device, no accounts, no tracking, no ads
Turn "Can I afford this?" into "Is this worth it?" That question is for you, and for the next generation learning to think about money.
100% free. No ads. No accounts.
