## Budget Bestie Description
hey bestie, ready to make budgeting effortless? with budget bestie, you can take full control of your money on your own terms—whether you get paid weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly, we’ve got you covered. using the cash stuffing method, you’ll say goodbye to stress and hello to a budgeting approach that fits your life perfectly.

okay but what’s cash stuffing?

1. create envelopes – create an envelope for each expense category like food, eating out, rent
2. stuff your envelopes – put all of your cash into envelopes based on how much you’ll spend before you get paid again
3. spend your money – this is the fun part - don’t feel guilty for spending your hard earned money. when you buy something, use the cash from the corresponding envelope
4. get paid, repeat - record your income (cha-ching) and go back to step 2, stuff your envelopes

how budget bestie works

- no need to carry cash - we’ve taken this 100+ year old proven technique and put it in your iPhone
- say bye to math and spreadsheets - we’ll recommend how much to stuff into each envelope based on previous spending habits and upcoming bills
- avoid late fees by getting reminded - we’ll send you a notification when you haven’t recorded paying a recurring expense
- hit your savings goals - create savings envelopes and we’ll make sure you’re on track to hit your goals
- budget on your schedule - whether it’s weekly, biweekly, twice a month, or monthly, you can budget based on what works for you

what our besties are saying:

“First full month of the app and it's so simple. I've not had to dip into my emergency fund or sinking fund or use overdraft. I've even managed to put some money towards debt and not reuse it” - @Nicola Disney Pomeranian Mummy

"Been using budget bestie for a month!The monthly recap made me realize I spend so much on little things (like buying to go lunch everyday) since it's in budget, but never seen how much it adds up" – @Julia

"This app is great I have been searching for a budgeting app that lets me budget per check and this is it” - @Chy6699 

“Definitely helped me the last two weeks. Can't wait to see how much money I can save.” - @Erin Backes

## Budget Bestie Reviews in United States

### *---- "Monthly Subscription"
It would’ve been nice but I’m so over monthly subscriptions for everything.
-- jj20002, 2026-09-08

### **--- "?"
Never mentioned that you had to pay, when the whole purpose of the app is to help save.
-- Xndhisehx, 2026-09-03

### *---- "SUBSCRIPTION BASED"
What a way to advertise without saying it costs anything. Talk about misinformation. And to use an app that looks like a toddler coded it on a computer. I want my 14 dollars back yall took from me AFTER I PUT IN AL MY BILLS. Had me excited use it after sitting there typing in all my bills for what. NOTHING . Waste of time.
-- Annoyed user12342, 2026-09-01

### *---- "Costs money to use this btw!"
Why would anyone want to pay a bunch of money when the whole point of the app is to save money?? Marketing also never mentioned it costs money.
-- Ckatwohoh, 2026-08-20

### *---- "Lack of transparency"
No where does it say this is a subscription based app. I’m very disappointed. It suck’s because for someone who’s trying super hard to be diligent and work hard towards being better with their money - to find out you only get a 3 day trial and then have to pay $9 a month or $70 for the year??? Is absolutely insane. The deception is unreal. I understand companies need to make money but you can’t expect people to be happy when you hide something like that after making the customer go through the entire process of putting in their personal information, to then make them want to purchase a subscription based app. Why does EVERYTHING have to be subscription based. Do we have ANY faith left in humanity?
-- hannbick, 2026-08-13

### *---- "Misleading"
It’s actually so misleading
-- Meoww21, 2026-08-12

### **--- "Doesn’t work"
Every week it doesn’t work. Like I’m trying to press to save my budget for the week and it’s “unable to save”. Does this all the time. What’s the point of PAYING 9 dollars a month
-- Jayda N., 2026-08-07

### *---- "Do not set up without checking things first"
I went through the whole set up process because I really wanted to get a handle on my budget, just for it to tell me once everything was finally set up that it was $90 to actually use!! It took like 30 minutes to set up. It was a total waste of time!!
-- thissucks818, 2026-07-31

### ***** "game changer for me!"
I've never left a review of an app - but I love this SO MUCH. I've tried probably EVERY budget app you can think of. What I love about this is its manual and holds me accountable. I love that it's aesthetically pleasing. It's really helped me change my relationship with my finances.
-- MoniApps4, 2026-07-27

### *---- "Not free"
Entered all my info then hit a paywall. Could not continue without payment. Expensive. Waste of time.
-- kayb3596, 2026-07-23

### *---- "Misleading"
It doesn’t say anything about a subscription when you first sign up and then it has you start and set up all your budgeting and then when you’re finally done and tap next or whatever it tells you that you have to pay for it and you can’t go back and see your progress that you made you either have to pay for the subscription or be logged out immediately deleted off my phone
-- $iena, 2026-07-17

### *---- "Misleading - You have to pay to use it!!!"
I don’t mind a pay to use app, but not sharing that until after I finish the whole tutorial AND make an account feels shady!!
-- Madie554321, 2026-06-19

### ****- "In <3 since Day 1!"
Few suggestions, for each envelope, can we please have a dedicated “Memo” section in the details section and (weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly) added for additional options for “Payment Schedules”? Thanks for the consideration. I plan on switching from YNAB (after six years) to this mainly because FINALLY A BUDGETING APP ALLOWS ME TO BUDGETS PAYCHECKS BIWEEKLY INSTEAD OF JUST MONTHLY.
-- MisoLYama, 2026-06-10

### ****- "Love the app"
My only wish is that it added all the sections together to show a full total
-- Ahhxnicole, 2026-05-29

### *---- "could’ve been cute"
not only was it a headache to read with the fonts, but then it completely turned into a zoomed in screen & nothing could be done.. so no thanks
-- lolota10, 2026-05-23

### **--- "Not Free"
Setup takes a long time only to find out after doing all the work that it isn’t free. The app should have made it clear before I spent an hour on setup.
-- reindrawp, 2026-05-21

### *---- "Lied"
Says it’s free, but you have to pay for a plan, and can’t create an account unless you do.
-- Anonymous_bunny, 2026-05-12

### ***** "Love it! Need a dent feature too"
Really enjoyed the app in the past! I left it a few months ago but came back today and got the yearly subscription. Really would like a debt payoff feature!! Will continue to use 💕
-- SheykhaG, 2026-04-26

### *---- "Deceptive"
To claim something is free but have you fill in all your goals and then force you to pay to even use the app is completely deceptive and intentional. They get you to put time into and then force you to pay a subscription fee to use their app. Just out of principle this is completely wrong
-- tomatolasagna, 2026-04-04

### *---- "Don’t get"
How are you going to make me pay for a budgeting app? Try telling people that the app isn’t free BEFORE they put in all of their information. And OBVIOUSLY you aren’t making it clear enough that it is a “SuBsRiPtIoN bAsEd ApP” if there are so many people in your reviews having the same problem.
-- Kena Leeee, 2026-03-31
