Simple tools for
real financial clarity.

Not a spreadsheet. Not a financial advisor. Just a clear, honest view of where your money goes — and what you can do about it.

Connect all your accounts

Link checking, savings, credit cards, and investment accounts from 12,000+ institutions. Transactions sync automatically the moment they settle — no manual entry, no delays.

See your full picture

Net worth tracking, spending breakdowns by category, top merchants, daily averages, and monthly trends. All on one dashboard, not buried behind tabs.

Budgets that pace you

Set monthly limits for each category. See how much you can spend per day for the rest of the month. Get warned when you hit 80% — before you overshoot.

An itemized receipt for your subscription

Every line item visible: bank connections, compute, storage, and our 30% margin. You know exactly what you pay for, because we publish the math.

Your data stays yours

256-bit encryption for stored credentials. Read-only bank access — we can never move your money. We don't sell your data, and we don't train AI on it. Your subscription is our only revenue.

Weekly spending recaps

Every Monday, get an email with your total spending, top categories, budget warnings, and net worth change. No login required to stay on top of your finances.

Usage-based · Cancel anytime

Your price depends only on how many banks you connect — not how many transactions you make or how often we sync. Your bank pushes updates to us the moment they settle.

Our margin (30%)

This is how we stay independent. It pays one developer, funds new features, and keeps BarryBudget running. No other revenue stream exists.

How we keep prices this low

Webhooks, not polling
Your bank pushes transaction updates when they settle — we don't poll your accounts on a schedule. One flat per-connection fee per month, no matter how many transactions you make.
Off-the-shelf infrastructure
We use Supabase, Vercel, and Plaid — no custom infra team, no bloated overhead. These services scale to zero when idle, so you don't pay for capacity we're not using.
One revenue stream
No venture capital, no ads, no data brokering. Your subscription is our entire business. We're incentivized to keep you happy and keep costs low — nothing else.

Our promise to you

Mint shut down. YNAB doubled their price. Intuit turned free users into ad revenue. We built BarryBudget because we wanted a finance app we could actually trust.

We show our margin

30%, right in the receipt. We don't hide how we make money because we're not ashamed of it. One developer, lean infrastructure, honest markup.

We never sell your data

Your financial data is never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. Your subscription is our only revenue — full stop.

We don't train AI on your data

If we add AI features, they'll use your data only to serve you, in the moment. Your spending history never leaves your account. Never feeds a model. Period.

Cancel to the cent

Leave any time. We refund the unused portion of your billing period, prorated to the day. No cancellation fee, no guilt trip, no dark patterns.
