What early users are saying

Feedback from BudgetIQ's private beta and early trial cohort.

"Finally a budgeting app that speaks my currency and understands my bank's CSV. The AI categoriser nailed 90% of my transactions on the first import."
Nomsa K. · Two months in
"I ditched my spreadsheet after two weeks. The monthly review reads like an actual finance report — I know exactly where the money went."
Ryan D. · Long-time user
"Was paying a US budgeting app in dollars for years. BudgetIQ costs a sixth and does everything I actually used."

The team

Built by founders who got tired of budgeting apps that assumed one bank and one currency.

BudgetIQ is an independent product. We answer support email ourselves, we don't run ads, and we don't sell your data. If you have a question, feedback, or want to talk to the founding team, email hello@budgetiq.app.
