WellSpent

Plan Before You Spend

Know exactly where your money goes before the month begins.

What is WellSpent?

WellSpent is an income-first budgeting app. Declare your income, plan your fixed expenses and savings, then track your variable spending as the month unfolds. The running total always shows what you have left — no surprises at month end.

See it before you sign up

A budget you can actually read, from the plan down to the last coffee.
Know where the money actually went

Every category with its real spend next to what you planned, biggest first. Anything over plan is marked in red with the amount you went over by — no hunting through rows to find the problem.

Decide the numbers before the month does
Decide the numbers before the month does

Set a planned amount per category and per person. That plan becomes the line everything else is measured against, so overspending is obvious the day it happens rather than at the end of the month.

Rent, subscriptions, and every other bill

Recurring bills are templates: one transaction appears each period automatically, split into unpaid and paid so what's still outstanding is always at the top. Loans and instalment plans can carry an end date and stop on their own.

Day-to-day spending, in seconds
Day-to-day spending, in seconds

Add a spend with its category, payment method and who it belongs to. Search, sort, or filter down to just the categories that have gone over plan — and exclude a one-off like a reimbursement without deleting it.

Two things a spreadsheet won't do

The parts of WellSpent people tell us they didn't expect.
A budget isn't a one-person job
Shared budgets
A budget isn't a one-person job

Invite your partner or housemates by email and give each person a role — admin, collaborator, or view-only. Income, payment methods and spending are attributed per person, so everyone works from the same numbers instead of comparing notes at the end of the month.

Your bank feed, already reconciled
Auto-matching
Your bank feed, already reconciled

Connect a bank and imported transactions are scored against the fixed expenses you already planned — amount, merchant name, payment method, category. A confident match waits in a To Review tab for one tap. Confirm a merchant once and identical charges match themselves from then on.

Features

Grouped the way the app is — so you know what you're getting.
Plan

Set the numbers, then watch them play out.

Expense Overview

Actual spending per category with a chart, a collapsible per-person breakdown, and a clear marker on anything that went over plan.

Expense Plan

Planned amounts per category and per person, sorted so your biggest commitments are always at the top.

Transactions

Everything you spend, fixed or variable.

Fixed expenses

Recurring bill templates that spawn one transaction per period, with optional end dates so loans and instalment plans stop on their own.

Variable spending

Fast entry for day-to-day spending, with a spent/received toggle, per-person attribution, and the option to exclude a transaction from totals without deleting it.

Auto-matching

Imported bank transactions are scored against your fixed expenses and queued for a single tap of confirmation. Merchants you've confirmed before match on their own.

Your budget

The pieces a budget is built from.

Income sources

Salary, hourly, freelance or one-off — declared up front and per person, so every plan starts from what you actually earn.

Savings

Recurring savings goals per person. In the US, a tax reserve is maintained for you from your filing status, income and payment frequency.

Categories

Sensible categories out of the box, plus your own for anything that doesn't fit. Renaming one updates every transaction that used it.

Payment methods

Name each card, account or wallet and attribute it to a person, so shared spending is never ambiguous.

Alerts

Be told in-app or by email when someone adds a transaction, when spending crosses a threshold you chose, or when a new period begins.

Bank sync

Connect a US bank through Plaid and let transactions import themselves. Available on paid plans; US accounts only for now.

Use Cases

Built for real budgeting situations.
Couples & Families

Share one budget with different income sources and spending per person. Everyone sees the full picture.

Freelancers

Variable income? Set aside a tax reserve automatically based on your filing status and payment frequency.

Anyone Who Plans Ahead

Whether you're saving for a house or just trying to spend less on eating out — WellSpent helps you plan before you spend.

About Us

WellSpent was built by a small team that got tired of budgeting tools that only show you what happened — not what's about to happen. We believe the best time to manage your money is before you spend it.
