About YNAB

YNAB helps me track all of my spending…
YNAB helps me track all of my spending and never be surprised by a big credit card bill. I am always ready to at the beginning of the month to assign all of my money and know how much will be left over to have fun with.
Worth every penny
App has been fantastic for budgeting and being able to take more control of our finances

Easy to use and very insightful of spend since using it
Great budgeting app
I really enjoy YNAB. We are Dave Ramsey people and had to switch from EveryDollar because our bank was not connecting correctly. It took me a minute to figure it all out, but once I did, it’s been smooth sailing. It connects with both of our banks and makes budgeting super easy! I also love that my daughter can use it for her budgeting as well.
Jobs for every penny
It is useful to see where the money in the bank needs to go and where the spending has been.
Totally worth the investment
The learning curve was a bit of a struggle when I started, but that's just because I struggle with budgets in general. But it's super flexible and you can undo any mistakes. There are plenty of how-to videos online. Every update keeps making it better. I can't complain about it at all.

No Australian integration
This app does not work with Australian banks. They charged me for a year subscription and won’t give a refund despite it not being able to provide its most basic function. Total waste of money, there are free budgeting apps out there that work with Aussie banks I suggest checking them out

Just the right budgeting tool
Revolutionised how I treat my personal finances - there’s other zero sum budgeting tools out there but YNAB is the most polished software on the market. If you’re unsure, take full advantage of the free trial to see if works for you
Best budgeting app ever
Best budgeting app ever! As someone with ADHD, I'm shocked I'm still using it a year later, it's just that good! There is a bit of a learning curve, but nothing a couple of videos and Google searches can't fix.
It assists me to plan
It assists me to plan, budget. manage and monitor expenses versus income. Great tool that allow me to have visibility and control of my finances.
Game changer.
We’ve been using YNAB for a year now and it’s been life-changing. We went from a messy expense lifestyle where we overpaid for things and didn’t know how much money we had, to accounting for every dollar, bill and expense while still being able to save for things. Game changer.
I'm very happy with this app
I'm very happy with this app. Now, I control my finances & budgets in a very easy way.
Estic contentíssim amb aquesta app. Ara controlo perfectament i de forma senzilla, les meves finanaces i pressupostos.
YNAB changed more than my budget—it changed my life.
When I first started using YNAB, I thought I was just looking for a better way to manage my money. What I didn't expect was how much clarity and confidence it would give me about my financial future.
As I tracked my spending and priorities throughout my first year with YNAB, I came to an important realization: my current income wasn't going to support the life I wanted to build. YNAB helped me see that reality clearly, and it gave me the motivation to take action. I applied for a new job, landed it, and six months into that role, I'm preparing to close on my very first house next week.
Buying a home felt like a distant dream before. YNAB helped me create a plan, stay focused on my goals, and feel in control of my money instead of stressed by it. More importantly, it helped me understand what was possible and gave me the confidence to make a major career change that ultimately made this milestone achievable.
Thank you, YNAB, for helping me feel better about money, align my spending with my priorities, and achieve a goal I once thought was years away. I'll always be grateful for the role you've played in helping me become a homeowner.
YNAB changed my life for the better
YNAB changed my life for the better. I have saved so much money and paid off so much debt since signing up, but most importantly it changed my outlook on money and helped me curb my spending habits. I am not a big fan of the recent app updates - I dislike having to click so many buttons to approve or clear transactions, so I knocked a star off because the recent changes have been very annoying, but I am still a faithful YNAB user and can’t function without it it! It is well worth the annual fee, in my opinion. It pays for itself many times over.
Incredible
Incredible. There is a bit of a learning curve here, but I strongly encourage people to stick with it and use YNAB.
Changed My Relationship With Money
YNAB has changed the way I think about budgeting. I no longer feel ashamed of spending money. Instead, I feel more in control and enjoy the extras that I purchase.
Such a great app and method that works…
Such a great app and method that works with the way my mind thinks. I love that you can try it free for 31 days before committing to it. I've been a YNABer for over a year now and it has completely improved my relationship with money. 10 out of 10 recommend trying it out and see if the method works for you.
