Wallet by BudgetBakers Free

Wallet from BudgetBakers is one of the more feature-rich free budgeting apps. Unlike many minimal trackers, it aims to give a full overview of personal finances: multiple accounts, bank sync in supported regions, and detailed reports. Even in its free edition, it feels more like a financial dashboard than a simple expense list.

Everyday use

Day to day, Wallet offers a mix of manual and automatic tracking. Expenses can be added by hand with just a few taps, while in some countries, bank feeds import transactions automatically. Budgets can be set for categories or accounts, and progress is shown with simple bars and charts. The app also includes shared accounts, which makes it easier for couples or families to manage money together. Cloud sync ensures the same data is available on phone, tablet, or web.

Getting started

Who uses it

Wallet is often chosen by people who want something more complete than a basic tracker but don’t need a full accounting suite. It fits households that want shared accounts, freelancers who like to keep work and personal budgets side by side, and individuals who prefer seeing all finances in one dashboard.

Why it sticks

The app has remained popular because it combines depth with accessibility. Even the free edition offers enough tools to replace spreadsheets, while the option to upgrade adds more automation and detail. For many, Wallet is the bridge between a simple tracker and professional-level budgeting software.
