For busy families

The budget that texts you back.

Budgetoria is a friendly money coach in your messages. It sends your family a short morning digest, answers "how much have we spent on groceries?", and gives you a heads-up before a category blows past its budget.

Morning! You're 52% through July and 48% through the budget โ€” right on pace. Dining is the one to watch: $278 of $310 with 12 days left.

how much have we spent on groceries?
Groceries: $412 of $600 across 9 trips. At this pace you'll land around $560 โ€” under budget. ๐Ÿ‘

Quick one: $42.17 at Costco โ€” groceries or household?

Filed! I'll remember Costco is usually groceries.
How it works

Five minutes of setup.
Then it's just texting.

1

Link your banks

Connect your accounts through Plaid โ€” the same secure, read-only connection trusted by major finance apps. We can see transactions; we can never touch your money.

2

Approve your budget

Budgetoria drafts a realistic monthly budget from your actual spending โ€” not a wish list. Tweak the numbers by text or on the web until they feel right.

3

Text with your coach

A short digest every morning. Real answers anytime. A friendly heads-up when spending runs hot. Your whole family texts the same number.

Why it sticks

Budgeting apps fail because nobody opens them.

Budgetoria lives in the one app your family already checks โ€” Messages.

A digest you actually read

One short text each morning: where the month stands and the one or two categories worth attention. No app to remember to open.

"You're 52% through July and 48% through the budget โ€” right on pace."

Answers, not spreadsheets

Ask in plain English. Budgetoria computes the answer from your real transactions and texts it back in seconds.

"What did we spend at Target this month?" โ†’ "$212 across 4 trips."

It asks when it's unsure

Ambiguous purchase? You get a one-tap question, and your answer becomes a rule it remembers. Your categories stay clean without homework.

"$42.17 at Costco โ€” groceries or household?"

Warnings while there's time

If dining is pacing to blow the budget on the 14th, you hear about it on the 14th โ€” not in a sad month-end report.

"Heads up: dining is at $278 of $310 with 12 days left."
Your money, protected

We can see. We can never touch.

Budgetoria is built to know your spending โ€” and to be incapable of anything else.

Read-only by design

Banks connect through Plaid with read-only permissions. Your bank login never touches our servers, and no one โ€” including us โ€” can move money through Budgetoria.

Encrypted everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS. Access tokens are stored encrypted, chat history expires automatically, and we never sell or share your data. Ever.

Delete anytime

Cancel with one click and your household's data โ€” transactions, budgets, chat history, phone numbers โ€” is deleted. It's your data; we're just borrowing it to help.

Pricing

One plan. The whole family.

No tiers, no per-person math. Cancel anytime with one click.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Can Budgetoria move my money?

No โ€” and it never can. Bank connections are made through Plaid with read-only permissions. Budgetoria can see transactions to keep your budget current, but there is no mechanism for it to move, hold, or touch money.

Do you see my bank password?

Never. You log in on your bank's own page through Plaid โ€” the same connection used by apps like Venmo. Budgetoria receives a limited, revocable, read-only token, not your credentials.

How does the family part work?

Everyone in your household texts the same Budgetoria number. Adults can view spending and change budgets; kids can ask questions ("do we have money for pizza?") but can't change limits. One subscription covers everyone.

What if it categorizes something wrong?

Tell it. Reply to any check-in question, or text something like "that Costco charge was household" โ€” it fixes the transaction and remembers the rule for next time.

How do I cancel?

One click in the billing portal, or email support@budgetoria.com. Your data is deleted after your billing period ends โ€” no dark patterns, no retention offers.

Is this financial advice?

No. Budgetoria summarizes your own spending in plain language and is not a financial adviser. AI-written messages can occasionally get things wrong, so verify big numbers against your bank before major decisions.
