The average American <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crresearch.com\/blog\/subscription-service-statistics-and-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">spends 2.5x more than they think they are <\/a>on monthly subscriptions. Rocket Money lists all of your monthly subscriptions so you only pay for what you actually use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocket Money also provides useful insights on where your money is going. Stay on top of your spending and identify the categories that are costing you the most. You also get alerts before big payments are due or if your account balance is getting low to avoid overdraft and late fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most significant downsides of Rocket Money is that when using the bill negotiation feature, you choose a percentage of what you end up saving to pay to Rocket Money. If you use this feature to negotiate or switch cell phone or cable providers, it might cost you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version includes limited features with financial monitoring, budget categories, and bill negotiation. The Premium plan allows you to choose how much you want to pay between $3 and $12 per month and includes automated cancellation and access to expert help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version of Rocket Money might be enough for you to create an individual budget, but you\u2019ll save the most time and money with the Premium version. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-2 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">2<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"you-need-a-budget\"><strong>You Need a Budget<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"rate\"><strong>4.7<\/strong><div class=\"rating-stars\"><div class=\"rating rating-95\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"\/guide\/wp-content\/themes\/entrepreneur-guide\/public\/images\/entrepreneur-guide-gray.svg\" alt=\"Entrepreneur Guide\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/YNAB-2-logo.png\" alt=\"YNAB logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youneedabudget.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On YNAB&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youneedabudget.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">You Need A Budget (YNAB)<\/a> app offers some of the most comprehensive budgeting features on the app store. For example, your YNAB account includes access to dozens of weekly workshops, hundreds of articles and guides, an online forum, and the YNBA podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to learn how to use the YNAB app more effectively and create budgets that can save you money much faster. Another key feature is that you can sync your checking, savings, credit cards, loans, investments, and bills. Any events involving these accounts are automatically updated to the YNAB app and recorded into your budget plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s incredibly unique about the YNAB app is that it\u2019s primarily focused on creating proactive budgets. YNAB is not simply a method of recording your previously spent money but rather an opportunity to improve your future spending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/z\/zbb.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modeled after the zero-based budgeting system<\/a> in which you have to assign a specific purpose to every dollar you earn. You\u2019ll learn how to create a budget that starts from scratch and is based on necessities instead of deducting money from your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest downside of the YNAB app is that it\u2019s much more expensive than the other options on this list. A monthly subscription for this app costs $14.99, or you can buy an annual subscription for $98.99. These prices are steep compared to the other apps, but the free 34-day trial makes it worth downloading. You may save enough money in that first month to cover the cost of an annual subscription.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-3 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">3<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"empower\"><strong>Empower<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"rate\"><strong>4.4<\/strong><div class=\"rating-stars\"><div class=\"rating rating-90\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"\/guide\/wp-content\/themes\/entrepreneur-guide\/public\/images\/entrepreneur-guide-gray.svg\" alt=\"Entrepreneur Guide\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/empower.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/stackcom_faf36_stackcom?q=https%3A%2F%2Fpersonalcapital.sjv.io%2Fc%2F348166%2F1031020%2F13439%3FsubId1%3DENT-ENT%20Guide-bestbudgetingapps%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.personalcapital.com%252F&amp;p=bestbudgetingapps&amp;event_type=click&amp;business_unit=ENTG&amp;publisher=ENTG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On Empower&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/stackcom_faf36_stackcom?q=https%3A%2F%2Fpersonalcapital.sjv.io%2Fc%2F348166%2F1031020%2F13439%3FsubId1%3DENT-ENT%20Guide-bestbudgetingapps%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.personalcapital.com%252F&amp;p=bestbudgetingapps&amp;event_type=click&amp;business_unit=ENTG&amp;publisher=ENTG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Empower app<\/a> is technically more of an investment tool than a budget generator. However, it also includes several budgeting tools that can be useful for anyone looking to track their spending.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These features help users build up their retirement savings and an emergency fund and pay down existing debts. Additional tools offered by Empower include investment monitoring, portfolio fee analysis, cash flow tracking, financial planning, and real-time net worth tracking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many features come with the Empower app. Using the app isn\u2019t as overwhelming as it might sound, but you might want to use the desktop version when diving deep into your financial information. Features such as the Retirement Planner (to save for retirement), Education Planner (to save for college), and Fee Analyzer (portfolio fee management) are much easier to use on a computer than on a smartphone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing about Empower is that it&#8217;s entirely free to use. The problem is that it\u2019s not nearly as focused on creating budgets as the other apps on this list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to use tools that allow you to see your monthly income and expenses, but the primary focus of this app is investment management. It\u2019s a terrific app if you\u2019re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/428052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">improving your future net worth and retirement options<\/a>. However, it might not be the right app for you if you\u2019re more interested in focusing on your current budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-4 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">4<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"mint\">Mint<\/h3><div class=\"rate\"><strong>5.0<\/strong><div class=\"rating-stars\"><div class=\"rating rating-100\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"\/guide\/wp-content\/themes\/entrepreneur-guide\/public\/images\/entrepreneur-guide-gray.svg\" alt=\"Entrepreneur Guide\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Mint-logo.png\" alt=\"Mint logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mint.intuit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On Mint&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mint.intuit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Mint app<\/a> is one of the most popular money management options on this list as it boasts a clientele of more than 25 million users worldwide. The interface is specifically designed to accommodate users that might not have previous experience with creating budgets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mint also allows users to sync their bank accounts, credit cards, loans, investments, and bills. Another key feature is that you can access your TransUnion credit which can help to monitor changes to your credit score.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using the app, you\u2019ll see all of your linked accounts in one place and monitor your spending throughout the day. The app will organize the spending into your customized categories so you can know where your money is going.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can track your monthly bill payments and set reminders to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/220728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ensure you never make a late payment again<\/a>. You can also track your investments and monitor portfolio management fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of all these features is worth paying a monthly subscription fee. However, Mint is completely free, and no premium versions are available. The only downside of using a free app is that you\u2019ll have to endure intrusive in-app advertisements and targeted offers. Additionally, the app is prone to encountering technical issues more often than other options on this list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-transactional-widget wp-block-entrepreneur transactional-widget position-5 force-open\"><div class=\"top\"><div class=\"position\"><span class=\"number\">5<\/span><div class=\"data\"><h3 class=\"brand\" class=\"brand\" id=\"pocketguard\"><strong>PocketGuard<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"rate\"><strong>3.9<\/strong><div class=\"rating-stars\"><div class=\"rating rating-80\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"\/guide\/wp-content\/themes\/entrepreneur-guide\/public\/images\/entrepreneur-guide-gray.svg\" alt=\"Entrepreneur Guide\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"info\"><div class=\"box\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"more\"><div class=\"logo\"><img src=\"https:\/\/content-hub.stackcommerce.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Pocketguard-logo.png\" alt=\"Pocketguard logo\"\/><\/div><a class=\"learn-button\" href=\"https:\/\/pocketguard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn More<\/a><span class=\"disclaimer\">On PocketGuard&#8217;s Website<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"widget-child-blocks\">\n<div class=\"entrepreneur-accordion\" data-script=\"entrepreneur-accordion\"><div class=\"wp-block-entrepreneur-guide-accordions\">\n<div class=\"accordion-item load-close\"><div class=\"item-tab\"><div class=\"item-img\"><div class=\"icon\"><\/div><\/div><span>Overview<\/span><div class=\"trigger\"><span>(Collapse)<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"item-content\"><div class=\"section-summary\"><div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pocketguard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The PocketGuard app<\/a> is primarily suited for people who want to control<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/430904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> their overspending habits<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to sync your current bank accounts and credit cards to the app. PocketGuard will then use an algorithm to track your income, expenses, and savings goals. You\u2019ll be told how much money you can spend each day to meet these goals and inform you of opportunities where you can save more money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best features of PocketGuard is that you can link information regarding your recurring bills. This isn\u2019t a groundbreaking feature, but that\u2019s just the first step. PocketGuard will use your information to find similar offers for cheaper rates or help you negotiate better rates. As a result, you might be able to save additional money on your insurance, phone, internet, or cable bills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PocketGuard comes with a free version, but you won\u2019t have access to all the features. You won\u2019t be able to track your cash flow or create your spending categories if you\u2019re using the free version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PocketGuard Plus subscription will include both of these features and the ability to export data, manage ATM deposits\/withdrawals, and split up transactions. The monthly subscription fee is $7.99 a month or $34.99 annually. Alternatively, you could buy a lifetime subscription for a one-time fee of $74.99.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-use-the-best-app-for-you-to-create-a-better-budget\"><strong>Use the best app for you to create a better budget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The list above features a variety of the best essential budgeting apps available in 2023.
