Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Brad, maker of BudgetBug.
BudgetBug actually started because I was helping a family member budget. She puts different purchases on different credit cards to max the cashback — but her card apps only showed credit balances, never what she'd actually spent that month. Add Venmo and a few other accounts and there was no real-time picture at all. I started building something simple to fix that, nights and weekends, and it grew into BudgetBug. Now I use it myself.
When Mint shut down I'd tried every alternative and hit the same wall: the free ones run on ads, upsells, or selling your data; the good ones cost $95–110/yr. So BudgetBug is everything Mint did and more — budgets, bills calendar, real-time spending, cash-flow forecast, net worth, projections, investments, Plaid sync, AES-256, plus Bugsy, our AI companion — with no ads, no tracking, no data selling. Free to start, and premium ($40–$80/yr) still costs less than the rest.
I'd love your honest take — especially what would make you switch. I'm here all day. 🐛
Finally tried BudgetBug this week and the net worth view pulled everything in without me touching a thing. Bugsy caught a subscription I'd been forgetting about for months, which already paid for the trial.
How does Bugsy actually help in practice, like does it flag subscriptions you forgot about or just give general advice when you ask it something?
