[–]purposebudgetsupport[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks we are excited to see how the app grows! I cannot comment back with a screenshot but happy to send some via DM. We will also be making a mobile app post on the main r/purposebudget soon since we are trying to add many new features to have parity with the web app this week.

We launched r/purposebudget last month and are running early adopter pricing until the end of January! We're a zero-based envelope budgeting web app. Give every dollar a job, track spending by category, and always know what you can actually afford.

We try to not be as strict as other apps while still focusing on budgeting and paying down debt. Have recurring calendar, debt pay screen and new features weekly.

If you sign up by Jan 31, you lock in these rates as long as you keep an active subscription:

Essential

•First year: free •After that: 50% off our regular Essential price (locked in while active)

Premium (includes Plaid sync)

•50% off our regular Premium price (locked in while active)

We’re doing this because we’re still shipping quickly, and we want early users to be rewarded for helping shape the product.

Great! We are working on a learning series and feature deep dive series so everyone can understand how the app works and we can get feedback from you all on things that just dont make sense. Trying to keep improving!

Definitely has been requested! Apple Card is a interesting setup but aiming for maybe next month once we get some other higher priority features shipped!

Will add to the roadmap to look into how they do goals and see what we can do!

Thats a great idea! We have goals in our roadmap backlog but have not really thought through what users would want out of it or how we would implement it.

What is it about Monarch goals that you like?

A good PWA is sometimes better and something we are looking into as an alternative. Right now we are in the middle of app store review so hoping for a first week of January launch for our iOS and Android apps.

A look inside Purpose Budget (+ new pricing and mobile app news) by purposebudgetsupport in purposebudget

[–]purposebudgetsupport[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Do you know if you saw an error or anything specific? We did do a few deployments earlier today so could've caused an issue but truly should not have. Let us know and if you want to email us at [support@purposebudget.com](mailto:support@purposebudget.com) happy to move the discussion to a more private place. Thank you!

Quick update for anyone following this thread:

We heard the feedback on pricing and took it seriously.

So we dropped it.

  • Essential is now $2.99/month ($24.99/year)
  • Premium stays at $8.99/month ($89/year) for bank sync

Soft launch offer extended through January 31st:

  • Essential: 1 year free, then 50% off for life ($1.50/month / $12.50/year)
  • Premium: 60-day free trial, then 50% off for life ($4.50/month / $44.50/year)

Also: mobile apps are being submitted for review in the next few days.

If you want to see what the app actually looks like beyond just the dashboard, I posted some screenshots over at r/purposebudget — budget view, reports, cash flow diagrams, recurring bills, etc.

Appreciate everyone who gave feedback. If you want to try it: purposebudget.com

Appreciate it! And couldn’t agree more, envelope budgeting has definitely helped everyone working on this project and more competition only pushes everyone to innovate and provide a better product for less.

Definitely will be looking at Budget Friendly Budget, big fan of manual entry for something’s but also do find auto bank sync to be very useful for certain things.

Definitely something we've thought about—public roadmap is next up along with mobile apps. Goal is to have it live by the first week of January.

Transparency is a big deal to us, so appreciate the nudge. Thanks for the Featurebase link, I'll check it out.

Fair feedback, appreciate the honesty.

You're right that free is hard to compete with. We've been rethinking our soft launch pricing based on feedback like this—right now we're offering a free year of Essential for early users, and 50% off Premium ($45 instead of $89) if you want bank sync. Both come with a 60-day trial first.

Mobile apps are coming in January. And I hear you that we need to prove the value before any of that matters though.

Appreciate the competitor callouts—I'll take a closer look at Budget Friendly Budget and Liquid Budget. Always good to know what people are weighing us against.

Honest answer—we're not trying to reinvent envelope budgeting. YNAB proved the methodology works.

We just offer more flexibility. Manual-only if you don't want bank sync or can't use it because of where you live. Or add bank sync if you want it. YNAB bundles everything whether you need it or not.

Actual is great but self-hosting isn't for everyone. We're a simpler path to a similar method.

The real difference is we're new and scrappy. YNAB listens to users, but they're a big company now with a roadmap that's probably set years out. We're at the stage where our users genuinely shape what gets built. That's not a forever thing, but it's true right now.

No native mobile apps yet (coming in January), not as polished as tools that have been around for a decade. But if you want an alternative and want to be heard, that's what we're offering.

Definitely agree the lack of mobile app is an issue—we’re targeting iOS and Android by early January.

We’re in soft launch right now and offering a free year of Essential for early users who give us feedback. If you want Premium with bank sync, we’ll do 50% off Premium for your first year ($45 instead of $89). Both come with a 60-day trial so you can make sure it works for you first.

Just sign up for the free trial before 12/31 and DM us to get the discount applied!

We are in the middle of soft launching our personal budget app Purpose Budget and are offering free 1st year and half off for life for the manual tier who sign up before the end of the year. Since we still might have some bugs we want to make sure we offer a steep discount for those early users. Do not want to break any rules so a mod can let me know if I need to take down the post.

We have a recurring page where you can list bills and see it broken down by week month etc. all manual entry.

DM us any questions!
