Comparison

Cuéntamo vs Spendee

Spendee shows you where your money goes. So does Cuéntamo, and it also tells you how much you'll have: it forecasts your balance months and years ahead, splits expenses and debts between people, adds net worth and investments, and brings in your transactions without handing your bank credentials to an intermediary. On your phone and your computer. Here's the comparison, point by point.

Looking for an alternative to Spendee?

If you're here, you've probably run into one of its limits: a free plan that stops at one budget and one wallet, an app that only exists on your phone, having to give access to your bank for transactions to come in by themselves… or, above all, that it shows you very well what you've already spent and nothing about what's coming. Cuéntamo solves all of that.

Where they overlap

On the basics, both do the same job: you record transactions, the app categorises them for you, you set budgets with alerts, set savings goals and see your money in and out. Both let you share your accounts with your partner or family, handle multiple currencies and import statements, and with both you can photograph a receipt to fill in the transaction (in Cuéntamo, on Cuéntamo Más with OCR that runs on our own servers; in Spendee, with its "Magic AI Scan" on the Premium plan). Neither fills your screen with ads. So far, a draw.

Where Cuéntamo wins

What if you want everything to come in by itself?

That's the usual argument for Spendee, and Cuéntamo covers it too: with Habeas, transactions come in without typing. The difference is how. Spendee connects to your bank through an intermediary you give access to; with Cuéntamo, your credentials stay with you.

Where we still have ground to cover. Spendee's bank sync is linked once and then syncs by itself; Habeas uses your own session on the bank's website and doesn't connect to every bank yet (for the rest, the statement file). And if all you want is to share a wallet, Spendee Plus is cheaper ($1.99/month on its website; €3.99/month on the Spanish App Store) than Cuéntamo Más.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on whether you want transactions to come in by themselves. If paying for its bank connection so it syncs without you doing anything is worth it to you, and you mostly use your phone, Spendee does that well. If you'd rather not give an intermediary access to your bank and you want to forecast your balance, split expenses and debts or use it on a computer too, Cuéntamo covers that side. Both have a free plan, so you can try both at no cost.
Spendee connects to your bank through an intermediary and syncs transactions by itself. Cuéntamo doesn't connect to your bank through any intermediary, for privacy, but transactions still come in without typing: with the Habeas extension (local-first and free) you log in to your bank yourself and they're read in your own browser, without your credentials passing through anyone. Habeas doesn't connect to every bank yet; for the rest, you import the statement file (CSV, Excel, ODS) or your broker's.
Yes. Cuéntamo splits an expense between several people, records debts and lets you settle up, with a view of who owes you and whom you owe, and the others can join from a link without signing up. Spendee offers shared wallets (several people run the same wallet), but doesn't work out debts or settlements between people.
Cuéntamo, yes: it runs in the browser on any device and installs as an app on iPhone, Android and desktop, with the same book everywhere. Spendee is an app for iOS and Android; its own pricing page announces the web version as "coming soon".
Both have a free plan. Cuéntamo's has no ads, unlimited accounts and transactions and a 6-month forecast; Cuéntamo Más costs €4.99/month (€49.90/year), with an Early Bird price of €3.99/month for the first subscribers. Spendee's free plan stops at one budget and one cash wallet; its paid plans are Plus ($1.99/month) and Premium ($5.99/month) on its website, in dollars (on the Spanish App Store, Plus is €3.99/month or €29.99/year and Premium €6.99/month or €39.99/year), with prices that may vary by country, and shared wallets start at Plus.
