Track your spending without a subscription
Surebeans is the only budgeting app that imports from any bank without a subscription. Instead, it automates a local web browser to scrape transactions for you.
Why budgeting is such a pain
You want to keep track of your spending, but you've never been happy with your choices:
- Become an investigative journalist.
- You log in to your bank
- Navigate to the recent activity or statement page
- Find the export button
- Find the downloaded file
- Convert the bespoke file format to something your budget app understands
- Follow your budget app's file import flow
- Repeat for 5+ banks and credit cards.
- Since this costs time and is error-prone, you stopped budgeting.
- Pay monthly or yearly for automatic import.
- But it works with at best half of your accounts.
- It's expensive. You're trying to save money. They keep raising prices. Did you know five years of YNAB costs $654+tax?
- You don't want to surrender your bank credentials to a third party or to grant them access to your financial data.
You have another choice now
What if you didn't need a monthly subscription to access your own data?
What if no third party was involved? Just you and your bank.
What if you could focus on your finances instead of file formats?
Surebeans is that choice
Bank APIs are expensive, if they exist at all. The only API you can be sure works is your bank's website. If you can log in and see you transactions, Surebeans can too.
Surebeans sure beats a subscription
