Budget Leashed is subscription-based—and comes with a 14-day free trial.

We know it can feel strange to pay for a budgeting app when you’re trying to save—but here’s why this model works:

• No ads, no distractions. Your attention isn’t for sale.
• Privacy-first. We don’t sell your data or rely on invasive tracking.
• Quality and support. Your subscription helps us improve features and offer real support.

Try it free for 14 days. If it delivers value for you, keep it—if not, cancel anytime during the trial. See “Why do I need to enter payment details for the free trial?” below for how trial billing and cancellation work.

We require a valid payment method to prevent spam accounts and automated abuse.

You won’t be charged during your 14-day trial.
You can cancel anytime from your Account Settings before the trial ends and you won’t pay anything.

If you cancel after a paid subscription begins, the cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period.

This helps us keep Budget Leashed secure, private, and focused on real users.

Upload, review, import — three steps.

Export a CSV from your bank or card provider, then upload it in Budget Leashed. The app automatically detects date, amount, and description columns — even if your bank uses different names or layouts — and suggests matching categories and income sources. Review the detected transactions, adjust anything you need, and click Import. Confirmed imports also help improve future suggestions for similar transactions.

Yes. The Income registry, Expense registry, and Transactions report all let you download the displayed transactions as CSV or use Print for a printer-friendly version. Your data is yours — take it with you anytime.

Getting started is easy. Sign up here for your 14-day free trial and start building a budget around your reality—no bank sync required.
