You Need a New Budget Web App That Runs in Any Browser, Move to a Subscription Pricing Model
You Need A Budget has long been one of the most popular personal finance tools and it launches a new web application with a new pricing model.
The new version of You Need a Budget is a web application, which means it will work in any browser without the need to install additional software. It also means a new subscription model for pricing: $ 5 / month or $ 50 / year. As far as features go, there are tons of differences, including new features like the age of money and direct import of transactions . The web app format also means sync is removed from Dropbox and works directly with YNAB servers. There are so many changes to how it works that YNAB has created a transition guide and is giving away a 34-day trial to test it out, and also offersclasses to walkyou through the changes (or just check them out on YouTube ). In short, this is a completely different approach for YNAB, but luckily the company is doing everything it can to make the transition easier for users.
If you’re not a fan of the web app format, YNAB 4 will get support before the end of this year, and the desktop version of the new You Need a Budget app is presumably in development.
