# Best Free Budget App

> Independent, hands-on reviews of budget apps by Alex, a small business owner with irregular income. Every app is installed and tested as a new user on a phone, without linking a bank. Prices and free-plan details are checked on the App Store with the date shown. No app pays to be included, and there are no affiliate links. Alex is also building his own simple, free budget app; it is clearly marked and not ranked against the others.
