BudgetBug — everything Mint was, and more. Privacy-first. Free to start.
If you left Mint and got burned by the "alternatives," BudgetBug is the budgeting app you've been looking for: full-featured and privacy-first, with no ads, no tracking, and no selling your data — and a real free tier to start.
Most "free" budgeting apps make money on ads, upsells, or by selling your data. The genuinely good ones cost $95–$110 a year. BudgetBug refuses that trade — privacy-first, with a real free tier plus Standard ($40/yr) and Premium ($80/yr) plans that still cost less than the rest.
See what you actually spent — in real time
Pay with credit cards for the rewards? BudgetBug shows what you've spent this month right now, not when the statement closes — on the free tier, with one connected bank.
Free to start:
• Connect one bank — real-time spending & transactions
• Automatic budgets — stop babysitting a spreadsheet
• Bills & reminders
• Savings & debt goals
• Unlimited manual accounts, CSV/JSON export
• AES-256 encryption & secure OAuth sign-in
Standard ($40/yr) adds: up to 3 connected banks, net worth tracking, cash-flow projection, and credit-card statements & autopay tracking.
Premium ($80/yr) adds: unlimited accounts, investment tracking, Bugsy AI insights & chat, account sharing, advanced forecast & analytics, priority support — with a 30-day free trial.
Privacy first
No ads. No tracking. No data selling. A budgeting app that makes nothing off your data — by design.
