Where does all your money go? Exactly where you tell it to!

“We started You Need A Budget January 1st with $37 saved and ended the year with $42,000. Plus we paid $14,000 cash for a new roof.”
-Kyle, user since 2020

If you’re like the average You Need A Budget user (just AVERAGE), you’ll save $600 in the first two months. And $6,000 in the first year.

“You Need a Budget has removed the stress of money from my life and in doing so has helped make me a better husband. It's like I got to remove a personal flaw I had never been able to fix."
-Kyle, again. We didn’t even pay him to say this, but maybe we should.

You Need A Budget Reviews

Fortnightly budgeting needed

MiaMc! on

Australia

Have started setting up as I’ve read so many great reviews on using YNAB, especially for those of us with ADHD…. But I’m finding it so hard to set up bills that are paid fortnightly. There’s only a custom option for months not weeks

Do better

Heartland57 on

Australia

I first tried this about 10 or 12 years ago and gave up for two reasons which persist today. Still can't link to Australian accounts and the screen traps up - not my laptop or internet, everything else I use works well.

Sneaky in gathering all details and finally no free option to use the app (other than the trial)

gopRT on

Australia

Need to be upfront that there’s only paid plans and no free option for long term use.

Subscriptions are cancer

Minkshaman on

Australia

This used to be a good one off purchase program. No longer!

Great app and system… useless in Australia

RyanMoore on

Australia

As there is no way to link Australian bank accounts, you have to manually enter all your daily transactions. This makes this app fail at what is otherwise a fantastic system of saving. I don’t know many people able to keep on top of every small transaction. Severely limits its use here in Aus.

Would be financially lost without it

Rishy478 on

Australia

YNABer since YNAB 3. Excellent value for money given how much we’ve saved over the years and the peace of mind it offers. I’m insane for enjoying the manual tracking process, but the app is awesome. I love the new monthly spending reports- a wonderful surprise!

YNAB Woooorks

Mox100 on

Australia

I’ve been using YNAB for 4+ years now and always have $$$’s months in advance. I see where the money goes and I see opportunities to save. Very, very impressed with YNAB.

Bank Import

Thisappsalertsareannoying on

Australia

If you’re going to continue raising prices for Australian customers, you need to make bank import available for us too. Please, spare me the generic corporate response.

Disconnected from customers

Stefandvb on

Australia

Pros: a good platform, good logical budgeting Cons: pricing is flat out unfair. Doubled prices two years ago, and then was tempted to stay with misleading information regarding direct imports to the australian market coming soon. Equal pricing over all services, despite direct import not actually available to customers is a rort. Do not expect customer service to work with you as a loyal customer of six years- there is a company line and that will be stuck to under all circumstances.

Have used it religiously since the early days

cyclist2018 on

Australia

Love it and continue to use it daily. Streamlines all my budgeting and expenses. Excellent for planning for the expected and unexpected. Only downside is it is not connected to Australian banks. Would love it if that was available. Might allow more people to use it.
