Budgeting is really hard. Basics like groceries, rent and transportation are expensive enough without all the tempting extras like a nice dinner or new gaming console. It's all too easy to end the month with no idea where all your money went. But, right now, one of our favorite budgeting apps is on sale. An annual subscription to Quicken Simplifi is currently half off, down to $3 monthly rather than $6. Notably, the sum is paid in one go, instead of each 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.
