The Difference

Other Apps vs. Family Budget Tracker

โœ— The Problems With Other Apps

โœ—
Broken bank connectionsPlaid links break constantly. YNAB, Monarch, Copilot all rely on it โ€” and users constantly hit dead ends when syncing fails.
โœ—
Data selling & privacy risksApps like Empower are free because they monetize your financial data. Plaid faced a $58M class-action for over-collecting credentials.
โœ—
Extra charge for household sharingYNAB charges +$15/month for a second user. Copilot charges +$10/month. Family budgeting shouldn't cost double.
โœ—
Canadian banks not supportedMost Plaid-based apps have limited or no support for Canadian financial institutions, making them effectively useless north of the border.
โœ—
Calendar-month budgeting onlyNo app tracks per-card billing cycles. Your Visa statement closes on the 15th, your Mastercard on the 28th โ€” apps ignore this entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Family Budget Tracker and LizAI Studios.

What is Family Budget Tracker?
โ–พ
Family Budget Tracker is a household finance app designed for couples and families who want to manage their shared spending together. You can track multiple credit and debit cards, log transactions using AI import, set savings goals, and track per-card utilization โ€” all with both partners seeing the same live data. Unlike other apps, we never connect to your bank and never sell your data.
Why don't you connect to my bank?
โ–พ
By design. Most budgeting apps use Plaid to sync with banks โ€” but Plaid connections break constantly, and 60% of apps that use it share or sell your data. We use AI-powered statement import instead: paste a bank statement, upload a PDF, or photograph your bank screen and our AI extracts transactions automatically. This approach is actually more reliable and far more private. It also means every Canadian bank works, since we don't depend on Plaid's limited Canadian coverage.
Is it available on iPhone and Android?
โ–พ
Yes! Family Budget Tracker is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you install it directly from your browser on any device โ€” iPhone, Android, iPad, or desktop. No App Store approval delays, no Android/iOS fragmentation, and no risk of being delisted. On iPhone: tap the Share button in Safari โ†’ "Add to Home Screen." On Android: tap the browser menu โ†’ "Install App." Once installed it works like a native app, even offline.
How does family sharing work?
โ–พ
From the Profile tab in the app, generate a personal invite link and share it with your partner. When they sign in, they enter that link to join your household. Once connected, you both see all cards, transactions, and goals in real time. Each person still manages their own cards individually, but you share a unified household view. Most competitors charge $5โ€“$15 extra per month for this feature โ€” we include it at no extra cost.
What does the AI import feature do exactly?
โ–พ
Powered by Google Gemini AI, the import feature lets you paste a bank statement, upload a PDF or CSV, drag and drop screenshots, or photograph your bank app screen. The AI reads it, extracts the individual transactions (date, amount, merchant), and populates them into your tracker automatically. Duplicates are detected and flagged. AI receipt/statement OCR has reached near-perfect accuracy (99%+) โ€” significantly more reliable than Plaid bank sync.
What's per-card billing cycle tracking?
โ–พ
Every credit card has its own statement date โ€” your Visa might close on the 15th, your Mastercard on the 28th. Most budgeting apps only track by calendar month, which creates confusing "overspending" signals that don't match your actual statements. Family Budget Tracker tracks spending against each card's real billing cycle, so your balances always match what you see on your actual statement.
Is my financial data secure?
โ–พ
We take privacy seriously. The app does not connect to your bank โ€” you manually enter or import transactions yourself. All data is stored in your private Firebase account, secured with authentication, and only accessible to members of your household. We do not sell or share your personal or financial information with third parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details.
How much does it cost?
โ–พ
Family Budget Tracker is currently free during our open beta โ€” no payment required. Paid plans are coming soon. When billing launches, pricing will be available in CAD for Canadian users. Early beta users will receive special consideration. Join now to lock in your access before pricing goes live.
Does it work without internet?
โ–พ
Yes. As a PWA the app caches its core interface and loads even without an internet connection. You can browse your existing data while offline. When you reconnect, changes sync automatically.
How do I contact support?
โ–พ
