Aug 14, 2019 The Best App for Budgeting Newbies: You Need a Budget (YNAB) It’s been a few years since YNAB switched to a subscription-based pricing model. I was one of those who initially groaned when YNAB announced they were moving to a subscription model, but I see that it is pretty easy to justify the $5/month (or $50/year) expense. My Budget Free is the free version of the highly successful and top ranked My Budget app. My Budget is an easy solution to balance your accounts, track your expenditure, and manage your money and more. As a personal finance application one can enter receipts, assign each transaction to a category and to an account. My Budget is programmed to do.
You Need a Budget (YNAB) (pronounced Why-nab) is an American multi-platform personal budgeting program based on the envelope method. In 2013 it was the most popular personal finance software among Lifehacker readers.[1]
Versions[edit]
The latest version, dubbed 'The New YNAB' or 'nYNAB,' was launched December 30, 2015[2] as a web-based application, with apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
The previous version 4, YNAB4, was released in June 2012. Version 4 was a desktop-based application available for Windows and Mac OS, with apps for iPhone and Android devices. Storing the budget file in DropBox allowed synchronization between the desktop and mobile applications. Version 4 was maintained through 2016, and the company ended support for Version 4 in October 2019.
YNAB 3 (released December 2009) ran on multiple platforms using the Adobe AIR runtime,[3] and previous versions included a Microsoft Excel/OpenOffice.org Calc spreadsheet implementation (dubbed YNAB Basic and discontinued in July 2009) and a Windows-only executable under the name YNAB Pro (discontinued in December 2009).
YNAB for iPhone was released in 2010 and runs on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It is not a standalone budgeting application but is instead designed to complement the YNAB for Desktop application. A version tailored for iPad and including budgeting support was released in 2014.[4][5] YNAB for Android was released in September 2011.[citation needed]
