We’ve been on the lookout for good budgeting apps, since so many of our readers are looking for ways to save money, budget better, or just be more mindful about how we spend and what we spend on. So we reached out to the editors at Apple to see their favorites, and we were so happy to see a lot of our team’s own favorites on their list.

We culled it down to these 10 best budgeting apps, which all get great user reviews, and are tops with financial experts too. And of course most are available on Android as well.

Best of all, none of these budgeting apps are wildly complicated — no crypto, nothing too high-tech. Just solid budgeting apps to help you make the most of the money you have, learn more about your spending habbits, and hopefully keep a little more of that money in your pocket. Or better yet, in your bank account.

10 of the Best Budgeting Apps to Help You Keep More of Your Money

For Overall Personal Finance: Rocket Money App

For an all-around personal finance app to help you manage and save money, you can’t go wrong with the wildly popular Rocket Money app (formerly Truebill).It syncs with your bank accounts to help you track income and spending, and there’s a solid budgeting feature to help you set saving goals and even seek out the places you might be able to trim your budget. You can even use their bill negotiation service should you need some help tackling a big phone bill or pay less for internet.

Extra cool: The app helps you find and track any paid subscriptions you might have forgotten about and cancel them. Say, that 7-day free trial to a streaming service that you forgot to cancel after you binged that one series? Been there, overspent on that.

For Budgeting with Simplicity: Monarch App

If you’re one of the people mourning the loss of the Mint app for expense tracking, users seem to have found a new favorite in the Monarch App. Not only do the Apple Editors love it, but it was named the best budgeting app by the Wall Street Journal this year and it’s clear why. It’s a simple, beautifully designed app to help you manage money and track expenses in ways that are customized to your needs, and very easy to use — especially for couples and families. And we’re always suckers for a colorful, well-designed app.

Users love the flexible budgeting tools lists that track your planned spending by category, then show you whether you’re close to hitting your limit — or have a little extra cash to roll over into another category, or use to pay off some debt.

Overall, it really helps you see both the big picture and the day-to-day details. They’ll even help you adjust your personal budget if you get a little off track. No guilt trip either.

Extra cool: Monarch has recently added a feature that lets you use a calendar view to check out upcoming charges, subscription renewals and bills, which is great for visual thinkers.

For Totally Free Budgeting Help: NerdWallet App

Arguably the best free app for budgeting — with no strings attached — is still the NerdWallet App. It’s been a go-to for years and keeps improving. Connect all of your financial accounts, and you’ll instantly get an overview of your spending habits, credit score, bills, expenses, and financial health so you can manage your cash flow now and in the future.

It’s easy to compare spending by category or month-to-month, and can be enlightening if you’ve never taken a good look at those breakdowns. It’s fairly no-frills, but totally automated and well–designed. One note: There are ads and offers (that may be relevant), but did we mention free?

Extra cool: NerdWallet is wildly easy to use, even for those new to a budgeting app. In fact, it’s a great starter app for teens or college students to get into good money habits early.

For Staying on a Tight Budget: Goodbudget Budget Planner App

The Goodbudget Budget Planner is a super user-friendly, low-tech (in a good way) money and expense tracking app that’s designed around the envelope budgeting method — only the envelopes are virtual. This way you can see how much is left in each “envelope” each month before you spend it. The app connects to your bank accounts if you want to track balances and expenses in one place, plus offers features like in-app reports to help you sort your spending and see where you can trip or adjust, a debt progress tracker to help with paying off loans or credit cards,

Extra cool: Goodbudget is fantastic for families and couples because it actually lets you sync and share your budgets with someone else. This way you can stay on the same page when it comes to how and where and how much to spend.

For Budgeting While Learning Lifetime Financial Skills: MoneyCoach My Budget Planner App

The MoneyCoach My Budget Planner App is that rare, super-popular, and highly recommended financial app from an innovative small business instead of a huge corporation — which is probably why they’re so good at helping you if you are in that world of freelancers and irregular income-earners too.

The goal is to reduce your financial stress and help you develop your financial skills for the future, while supporting your budgeting and money management needs right now. Like the other budgeting apps here, it tracks all your accounts in one place and offers lots of ways to examine your spending habits; but it uses machine learning to get smarter about you individually, and employs AI-powered suggestions to make you smarter too.

The live currency exchange tool is helpful if you travel. I also like the real-time net worth tracker, which lets you see how much money you have in total, and the progression over time. Very helpful if you’re filling out those FAFSA forms for a college student this fall. (Eek.)

We must say they do overstate some of the features (“Use the mighty power of your finger to access Money Coach with touch ID”) but users are really happy with MoneyCoach, and Apple has been highlighting it going back to their 2020 developer conference.

Extra cool: You can upgrade to MoneyCoach Premium for Smart Budgets built around financial mindfulness, which gives you priority customer support, incognito mode (sneaky), and some extra features they claim can save you up to $2k each year.

For Maximizing Cashback, Rewards, and Points: Card Pointers for Credit Cards App

Fan of rewards and cashback programs? Who isn’t! The Card Pointers for Credit Cards app a great budgeting app if you’re big on saving money through cashback, points, spend bonuses, and miles/rewards earned with your credit and debit cards.

Users say it’s like having someone tap you on the shoulder at the cash register and telling you whether you should be swiping your Amex, Chase, or BofA card to get the best offer from it. In fact, they track the rewards in real time from over 5,000 different cards — though hopefully you don’t have all of them. It can also send alerts about expiring offers, and auto-add new ones to your account so you don’t have to personally scan each program every month to see what’s new. (I always forget unless I catch an email reminder.)

Card Pointers claims to save most users an average of $750 or more each year through cashback, offer alerts, and extra rewards and points — and that is serious savings.

Extra cool: Card Pointers has a Safari Web Extension that lets you maximize your online shopping from home, too.
