Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free version? +
Yes! Lemonbudget offers a generous free tier with core budgeting features - currently still completely free. When you're ready for advanced features, upgrade to Pro for just 40 CHF per year (~3.30 CHF per month).
How much does Lemonbudget cost? +
Lemonbudget has a generous free tier with core features that's currently still completely free. Pro costs 40 CHF per year (approximately 3.30 CHF per month) and includes ALL advanced features - unlimited transactions, accounts, budgets with rollover, savings goals, scheduled transactions, workspace sharing, multi-currency support, data import/export, and priority support. Your price is locked in forever - no surprise increases.
How is this different from other budgeting/expense apps? +
Design: Dark-mode first, not an afterthought - designed for your eyes. Security: Bank-grade AES-256-GCM encryption protects your data at rest. Privacy: 100% manual entry, no bank access needed. Pricing: Simple, honest pricing at 40 CHF/year with workspace sharing included. Platform: Web-first with PWA support for offline access. Smart Features: Budget rollover, multi-currency, scheduled transactions, and savings goals all built-in.
What's "dark mode first" mean? +
Most apps design for light mode, then add dark mode as an afterthought. We designed Lemonbudget in dark mode from day one. Every color, every contrast, every element is optimized for dark mode. Your eyes will thank you.
Can I use this with my partner/spouse or household? +
Yes! Lemonbudget includes workspace sharing at no extra cost. Create workspaces and invite family members or partners to collaborate. Everyone can view shared budgets and transactions while managing their own access. Perfect for couples and households managing finances together.
What about bank sync? +
Not at launch. We're 100% manual entry for maximum privacy and security. We might add optional bank sync later, but it will NEVER be required. Many users prefer manual entry - it makes you more aware of your spending.
Will there be a mobile app? +
Lemonbudget works great on mobile browsers right now! Even better, you can install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your phone for a native app experience with offline access. A dedicated mobile companion app with home screen widgets is coming later for quick expense entry and budget checks.
What is a PWA and how do I install it? +
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that can be installed on your device like a native app. Once installed, Lemonbudget runs in its own window, appears in your app drawer, and works offline. To install: On mobile, open Lemonbudget in your browser and tap "Add to Home Screen" or "Install App". On desktop, look for the install icon in your browser's address bar. You'll get all the benefits of a native app without downloading from an app store!
