You need a budget. You don't need a subscription.

Try Surebeans now!

You did the hard part. You learned to give every dollar a job, to roll with the punches, to age your money. You tracked every coffee and every paycheck. You evangelized your budgeting app to your friends.

And then the price went up. And up. And up. For nothing in return. It's an awkward relationship: you're trying to save money. They want to raise prices. By now, you feel like a taxable royal subject to an app that still can't sync with half your banks.

Meanwhile, your financial data sits on someone else's server, and a third party has your bank credentials.

It doesn't have to be that way. Imagine...

...if you could own a budgeting app the way you can own a calculator. You bought it. You own it. It doesn't send you renewal notices.

...if your financial data could stay between you and your bank.

...if your budget app worked with all your banks, no matter what country you're in.

...if all this cost you less than a year of your old subscription, and it's yours forever.

That's Surebeans.

Surebeans is the only budgeting app that imports from any bank without giving your credentials to a third party. It's private, powerful, and economical. It runs on your computer, not on someone's server. Coming from YNAB? Import your budget in a few clicks.

Five years of YNAB: $654. Five years of Surebeans: $79.
