We understand jumping to a new app can be scary. So we want to clear up as much as we can.
BetterBudgets was designed to operate differently from the others while still keeping the functionality familiar. We know applications accessing private bank information are a big deal to many people, so we started there. BetterBudgets will not connect to your bank accounts and will allow you to manage your finances without complicating them.
BetterBudgets is built around a powerful, custom algorithm designed to prove financial scenarios as fast as possible. The speed at which you receive your budget scenarios is dependent on the complexity of your financial situation. With that being said, you should expect to see up to four budget scenarios, all of which could be up to a decade long, in under 10 seconds.
BetterBudgets’ algorithm is designed first and foremost to lay out a plan to free you from debt the fastest mathematically. Depending on your situation, of course, BetterBudgets can save you up to nine years of time and around 3.3 years on average.
BetterBudgets was created because our founder, Chris, didn’t like the market. He believes there are a lot of people who feel the same way that he does about a lot of the solutions. So he spent several years budgeting with pen and paper until he recognized a pattern. BetterBudgets was Chris bringing that pattern to your fingertips.
The data for the calculators is as old as 6 months; however, most of the data is updated daily or weekly. The “older” data is going to be income tax data.
BetterBudgets main design philosophy was no bank information. That privacy extends through the entire app. The only data collected is what is necessary for your budget.
BetterBudgets is now available on the App Store. We are on the way to the Play Store and Web.
