Budgeting that costs less than one streaming subscription

All the budgeting power. A third of the price.

YNAB, Monarch, and Copilot charge $95–$199 a year and want access to your bank login. PARAPLANER costs $29.99 a year, works entirely on your own terms, and never asks for your bank password.

The problem

The big apps were built for a different market

YNAB, Mint, and Monarch are great — just not built for you.

No Arabic, period

English or German interface only, and even when translation exists, it's language-only — no true RTL support.

They don't get your life

No concept of remittances, recurring expenses the way we handle them, or the realities of living abroad.

Excel keeps slipping

A spreadsheet works, but you have to update it by hand every time — and after a week, it stops.

The solution

Everything you need, without the complexity

PARAPLANER is built by someone who lives the exact same problem.

01 — Categories

22 categories with clear icons, and a breakdown you see instantly

From rent to charity, everything is sorted. Just add the expense, and the app shows you exactly where your money is going — no manual math.

  • Daily, monthly, or yearly range for each expense
  • Search your entire history in one second

Groceries340 €
Transport180 €
Subscriptions45 €
02 — Recurring

Enter your salary once, let it calculate itself

Rent, subscriptions, salary — enter them once and toggle "repeats monthly." The app calculates them automatically every month going forward, and you can edit or stop them anytime.

  • Edit just this month, or all upcoming months
  • A one-off expense auto-deletes after a day or a week

03 — Import

Upload your bank statement, and the app sorts it for you

A CSV file from your bank (N26, Revolut, or any European bank) — the app recognizes known merchants and suggests the right category. Review and confirm in a minute.

  • Works with any European CSV format
  • Review and adjust before confirming the import

04 — Goals

An apartment, a car, an emergency fund — enter the target amount and your monthly savings, and the app shows you a progress bar and an expected completion date, automatically.

  • Unlimited goals with Premium
  • Monthly savings automatically factor into your "Safe to Spend" number

We built PARAPLANER because we were tracking our own money in an Excel sheet every month, and giving up after two weeks. We tried the big apps, and none of them felt like they were made by people who'd faced the same problem. So we built this for ourselves first, and now we're sharing it with you.
