What it really isA bank-data feed and template set for budgeting in your own spreadsheets.
Our takeTiller does one thing well: it gets your transactions into a spreadsheet every day so you can build the budget you want.
That freedom is also the cost, because you will spend time setting up sheets and rules. Pick Google Sheets unless you already pay for Microsoft 365 and prefer Excel.
Why we rate itDaily bank feeds, automatic categorization and data stored in files you own.
The catchNo free plan, setup takes spreadsheet skills, and the Excel version needs Microsoft 365 and has fewer features.
