Trying to budget as a couple without fighting? You’re not alone. Most apps either force you to share a bank login (no thanks) or charge a subscription just to split grocery categories. But there are a few solid free budget apps for couples that actually make it easier to stay on the same page financially.

👥 Our Pick: Goodbudget

Goodbudget is a free envelope-style budgeting app that lets couples sync budgets across two devices — without needing to share logins or import your banking data.

• ✔️ Share envelopes in real time
• ✔️ No automatic syncing — full control
• ✔️ Available on iOS, Android, and web
• ❌ Limited to 10 envelopes on the free plan

It’s simple, clean, and great for couples who want to set shared goals, track cash spending, or manage side hustle income together.

💡 Budgeting Tip for Couples

Don’t split every expense 50/50. Use shared categories for rent, food, and savings — and leave room for personal “no judgment” envelopes too.
