Budgeting can be a challenge, especially when you’re trying to pay for the daily cost of life and save for things you want like a new gaming console or laptop. But there are plenty of tools out there that can make budgeting more manageable, and one of our favorite budgeting apps is on sale right now. You can subscribe to Quicken Simplifi for only $3 per month, which is half off its usual $6-per-month price. Notably, the sum is paid in one go for the year, instead of month to month.
Yes, spending money to save money does sound a bit silly in principle, but Quicken Simplifi is our choice for best budget app overall. It offers a sleek, easy-to-use interface that doesn’t have much of a learning curve. It’s also excellent at tracking regular income and bills, along with refunds. Plus, you can share access to the app with your partner or financial advisor.
There are a few cons, though nothing massive. You can’t do a free trial — though Quicken does seem to have a 30 day cancelation policy to get a refund. You also can’t create an account using your Apple or Google ID. Plus, there’s no Zillow integration.
