About this app

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.

Download BudgetBug — the Mint alternative that does more, respects your privacy, and is fairly priced.
Budgets, bills & real-time spending. Private money tracking, no spreadsheets.

What’s new

New app icon. Safe-area handling now reads real device window insets instead of fixed pixel values, so the bottom navigation and status bar fit correctly across gesture navigation, 3-button navigation and cutout displays.
