They also host a highly informative blog which offers advice on how to achieve different financial goals without being too boring or using complicated terms and confusing jargon.
Track my Subs
This web-based tool is geared toward small business owners and private users with a lot of subscriptions to manage.

The honeyfi mobile app is a great financial planning tool for couples who are just starting out. The app syncs up with your partner’s app and allows you to tag transactions as “yours”, “mine”, or “ours”. The app comes complete with budgeting tools which will help you save time and money, and achieve your shared budgeting goals.
Mint
Mint is a web-based app which you can use on your PC, or you can download the mobile app for Android or Apple. It’s a multi-faceted finance tool that will help you to track your spending, stay on top of your savings and make good financial choices.
