Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Budget Buddy
Is my financial data safe with Budget Buddy?
Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit SSL encryption and connect through Plaid, the same secure platform used by Venmo and Robinhood. We have read-only access to your accounts, meaning we can see your transactions but cannot move money or make payments. Your data is never sold to third parties.
Will Budget Buddy affect my credit score?
No, Budget Buddy will not impact your credit score. We only access your bank account transaction data to provide spending insights and budgeting guidance. We do not perform credit checks or report to credit bureaus.
Do I need to pay anything to get started?
No! Budget Buddy offers a completely free plan that includes basic budgeting tools, spending insights, and one savings goal. You can upgrade to Pro ($9.99/month) or Premium ($19.99/month) anytime for advanced features like AI coaching and debt payoff plans.
Who is Budget Buddy designed for?
Budget Buddy is perfect for anyone who wants actionable financial guidance, not just reports. Whether you're paying off debt, building savings, or simply want to stay on budget, our AI coach provides daily guidance tailored to your goals. It's especially helpful for millennials and Gen Z who find traditional budgeting apps too passive.
How is Budget Buddy different from Mint or other budgeting apps?
Unlike traditional apps that show you what happened last month, Budget Buddy tells you what to do today. We provide daily pacing updates (like a calorie tracker for money), personalized debt payoff plans, and an AI coach that gives actionable advice based on your actual spending patterns. It's action-first, not report-first.
What if I need to cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your subscription anytime from your account settings. There are no cancellation fees or hidden charges. If you cancel, you'll continue to have access to paid features until the end of your current billing period, then your account will automatically switch to our free plan.
Can I try the premium features before paying?
Yes! We offer a 7-day free trial for Pro and a 14-day free trial for Premium. You can experience all the advanced features risk-free. If you decide it's not for you, simply cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
