I can't believe no one here has mentioned Buxfer (YC W07) yet! - https://www.buxfer.com/ https://www.buxfer.com/ I've tried a bunch of these apps and they're either too expensive, don't support multiple currencies (a deal-killer for me), or don't work well. I highly recommend them. The founders have kept it alive and even launched a much better account syncing feature in the last few months - I happily pay for their $5/month Pro account.

I’ve never seen them before - and it allows me to enter transactions ahead of time! However, it can’t track stock options without doing it manually. Wish they supported that.

  Founder here. Our product is very optimized for people who want to see things ahead of time. Entering stuff manually, reminders, budgets, forecasting, all the way up to retirement planning. About stock options: We do support automatic syncing with investment accounts. Is your institution not supported? Or is there some other issue you are facing? If you'd like, you can email me at shashank@buxfer.com and I would love to assist you further.

    Curious to know why MFA is only available in the most expensive category (PRIME)? It seems like if I don't pay the full amount I don't deserve my budget to be as secure as possible. And this is a no go for me.

      Yeah, that's something we have received feedback about several times. The initial reasoning was something like this: 1: We didn't have MFA until we had PRIME. Generally speaking, we only add new features to our higher-end plans. 2: Our business model doesn't allow us to give away stuff for free. No ads, no selling data, simple subscription based pricing. MFA costs us money (SMS, phone calls). So that's the logic, which I understand might not be very convincing. We are exploring making it part of our free plan, or a lower tier plan.

        Understandable, thanks for the extensive info! I think this should be included in the lowest paid tier, at the very least. Or disable SMS/phone calls and have people have the option to only use an authenticator app.

Honestly I couldn't get past the homepage. The UI looked horrible, and there are no screenshots of the app so I suspect its even worse. You should invest a bit more in your presentation
