About EveryDollar
EveryDollar uses zero-based budgeting, where every dollar of income is assigned a job before the month starts. The free version lets people build a monthly budget with unlimited categories and lines. Premium adds bank connection, which imports transactions into the budget, and recommendations on payment amounts.
The app suits people who follow the zero-based method taught by Ramsey Solutions and want a simple monthly plan. Premium is a subscription and can be bought through Apple or Google Play, in which case cancellation runs through that store. Households that prefer envelope or spreadsheet budgeting may find the app too prescriptive, and Tiller suits a spreadsheet-based method.
