I recently ended my subscription for YNAB after more than half a decade of usage. I was grandfathered into the old price, but they took that away with the most recent price increase, so I could not justify staying.
However, since I have quit, I have not found my habits to have changed. I think some part of the system is permanently burned into my brain. I am exploring my options with hledger, and it's been a neat experience so far.
- chrsig 5y agooh, hledger does look pretty neat. If I were the only person involved in my budgeting, I'd definitely give it some serious consideration.
- sundarurfriend 5y agoThere's also beancount [1] which has a (local) web interface via fava [2]. [1] https://beancount.github.io/ https://beancount.github.io/ [2] https://beancount.github.io/fava/ https://beancount.github.io/fava/
- hirvi74 5y agoI think Beancount might actually be better than hledger for the ways I intend to use it, but I wish Beancount was a bit more relaxed with naming conventions and account names/structure.
- chrishas35 5y agoWhere would you like to see it be more relaxed? While the documentation has some pretty strong recommendations, other than the top 5 accounts, you can pretty much do as you wish.
- hirvi74 5y ago> Where would you like to see it be more relaxed? Having spaces in account names and not having to type the currency for every transaction would be nice. Though, I will say it's been quite a few years, so perhaps things have changed.
- thefringthing 5y agoIt's still possible to use the version of YNAB from before they switched to a subscription model.
