Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

The questions every new user asks — answered honestly.

No. Spendalyst works fully in manual mode. Connect your bank with Plaid if you want automatic tracking, or add expenses yourself — the coaching works either way.
Yes. Bank connection is handled by Plaid — the same technology used by Venmo, Robinhood, and 8,000+ other apps. The connection is read-only: we can see your transactions but we cannot move, withdraw, or touch your money. Ever. Your login credentials are never stored on our servers.
YNAB requires commitment to a zero-based budgeting system — great for people who want full financial control, but a lot of work. Monarch is a comprehensive financial dashboard for engaged households. Spendalyst is different: it doesn't ask you to build or maintain any system. You connect, and we coach you forward one week at a time — no budget required.
Yes — fully. Spendalyst has a complete web app, iOS app, and Android app. Unlike Copilot (which is Apple-only and excludes 45% of smartphone users), Spendalyst works on every platform.
Your trial end date is shown clearly in your account from day one. You'll get a reminder email before it ends. If you don't subscribe, your account pauses — nothing is deleted. We don't do sneaky auto-charges. Cancel in 2 clicks, no questions asked.
Never. Your financial data stays completely private. We don't sell, share, or use it for advertising. You can opt out and disconnect your bank at any time — full control, always.
Most people find their first useful insight within 5 minutes of connecting their bank. Your first weekly coaching card arrives the following Monday — and often surfaces a spending pattern worth knowing about.
Mint shut down in January 2024, leaving 25 million users without a passive spending tracker. Spendalyst fills that gap — and goes further with weekly AI coaching, a Money Health Score, and a warm, judgment-free voice that Mint never had.
Common questions

About personal finance apps

No — Spendalyst works without bank access. You can log expenses manually and still get AI insights and weekly coaching. Connecting your bank via Plaid unlocks automatic tracking, subscription detection, and deeper patterns — but it's entirely optional.
Only you. Spendalyst uses Plaid for bank connections — the same service trusted by Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. Your login credentials are never stored on Spendalyst's servers. The connection is read-only, meaning we can view transactions but can never move money. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit and is never sold to third parties.
Budgeting apps like YNAB ask you to assign every dollar to a category before you spend it — that's powerful but requires ongoing maintenance. Spendalyst doesn't ask you to budget at all. Instead it analyzes what already happened and tells you one thing to keep in mind this week. No setup, no categories to manage, no guilt when you go over.
Spendalyst costs $10.99/month or $89.99/year (equivalent to $7.50/month — saves you $42). Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You won't be charged anything until the trial ends, and you can cancel with one click at any time.
