Spendalyst watches your recurring charges and tells you when one quietly raises its price — then shows exactly where the rest of it went. Plain English. No budget to build.
No categories to set up. No system to learn. From signup to your first insight in under 5 minutes.
Free for 14 days. No credit card required. Takes 30 seconds.
Works with Chase, Wells Fargo, and 12,000+ other banks. Or skip this and add expenses manually.
Your first insight appears immediately. Every Monday, a new coaching card arrives.
From sign-up to first insight in under a week — with zero effort after Day 1.
Every insight comes with a clear explanation — never a judgment.
Every week you get a single coaching message with specific numbers from your actual spending — written in plain English. Not a dashboard full of data. Not a budget warning. Just one honest insight.
Total spending, daily average, category breakdown, 6-month trend — all in one clean view. Export any time. No spreadsheet required.
Built for people who want to understand their money — not manage a system around it.
Spending automatically categorized, up to date, zero maintenance required. Total spent, daily average, top category — always clear.
Every Monday, one specific insight. A price that went up without telling you. A renewal landing this week. One honest thing to act on.
Link via Plaid and never touch a spreadsheet again. Transactions import automatically. Works with 12,000+ banks including Chase.
Runs in any browser — Android, iPhone, laptop. Install it to your home screen in a tap, with nothing to download from an app store. Unlike Copilot (Apple-only), Spendalyst is not locked to one platform.
Manual mode gives you coaching and reports. Subscription and price-change alerts need a connection — that is the part that reads your history.
That is the entire experience. No daily habit to build. No dashboard to decode. Spendalyst is the only money app designed around your real behavior — not an idealized version of it.
Move the slider to match your monthly spending.
* Illustrative estimates based on typical spending patterns. Individual results will vary.
Every other app was built for people already engaged with their finances. Spendalyst was built for everyone else.
