No learning curve

Here's what happens after you connect.

From connecting to your first findings — with nothing to maintain after setup.

Then — automatic
Your transactions arrive
After your bank’s transactions arrive, Spendalyst checks the available history — up to 24 months — and works out which charges repeat. You do nothing.

What a finding looks like

Every finding shows
its evidence.

What happened, the charges it came from, and why it may matter.

1
What happened
The change Spendalyst noticed, named in one line.
2
Why it matters
The dates and amounts it came from, so you can check it yourself.
3
What you might do
A next step only when there is an obvious one. Often there is nothing to do.
An example finding
"Your software subscription renews in 7 days for $130."
It bills once a year. Annual renewals are flagged seven days out, so the charge never arrives unannounced.
💡 Why it matters: an annual charge is easy to forget. You get the heads-up before it lands, not after.

This Week

One card on Monday. Nothing in between.

One card each Monday summing up what actually changed — with the merchants, dates and amounts it came from. Not a dashboard to decode. Not a budget warning.

  • Arrives Monday morning
  • Built from your own transactions
  • Plain English, no judgment
  • Real merchants, dates and amounts
What you get

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for people who want to understand their money — not manage a system around it.

💰

See where every dollar actually went

Transactions categorised automatically and kept up to date. Totals, categories and every transaction, always current.

🤖

Told when something changes

A price that went up without telling you. A renewal landing this week. A charge that started repeating. Spendalyst checks every day and only speaks up when something moved.

🏦

How it differs

Connect an account,
then leave it alone.

Spendalyst reads your transactions so it can tell you what changed. That is the whole setup.

Typical money apps
You keep checking
Show your transactions

Give you charts and reports
You have to notice what changed
You have to keep coming back to check
Spendalyst
It keeps watch for you
Transactions sync automatically
Recurring charges found from your history
Price changes are re-checked
Renewals flagged before they land
Shows you what's new when you return
Syncs daily Read-only Never moves money

Finding recurring charges, price changes and renewals needs a connected account — that is the part that reads your history.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

The questions every new user asks — answered honestly.

Yes, for the findings. Reading your transactions is how Spendalyst works out which charges repeat, which one changed price and what is due to renew. The connection is read-only, through Plaid — it can see transactions, never move money.
Yes. Bank connection is handled by Plaid — the same technology used by Venmo, Robinhood, and 8,000+ other apps. Your bank login is entered in Plaid's window and is never stored on our servers. The connection is read-only: we can see your transactions but we cannot move, withdraw, or touch your money. Ever. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Never. Your financial data stays completely private. We don't sell, share, or use it for advertising. You can disconnect your bank or delete your data at any time — full control, always.
No. Budgeting apps ask you to assign every dollar to a category before you spend it, then keep that accurate. Spendalyst watches what already happened — recurring charges, price increases, renewals and unusual changes — and tells you when something changed. Nothing to file, nothing to keep accurate.
After your bank's transactions arrive, Spendalyst checks the available history. Findings appear when there's enough evidence — recurring charges, any price changes, and what is due to renew. Monitoring continues as new transactions arrive, and each Monday one card sums up what changed.
Spendalyst costs $10.99/month or $89.99/year (equivalent to $7.50/month — saves you $41.89 a year). Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no card required, and you can cancel anytime from Plan and billing.
The trial is 14 days and needs no card, so nothing is charged unless you choose a plan. Your trial end date is shown in your account from day one and you'll get a reminder email before it ends. If you don't subscribe, your account pauses — nothing is deleted.
Yes. Spendalyst runs in your mobile browser, so it works on Android as well as iPhone — and you can install it to your home screen so it opens like an app. Nothing to download from an app store.
Mint shut down in January 2024, leaving 25 million users without a passive spending tracker. Spendalyst fills that gap — and goes further by re-checking every recurring charge for a price change.
