As we enter the last 3 months of the year, it is often time to look at our savings. We have paid rent, food, travels, etc. The only thing standing between you and a bigger saving account is the Black Friday sale period. When budgeting, most of us would turn to an excel file or a list. While making plans on Excel when bored at work is already a great step forward, there are some fantastic budgeting apps that can help you achieve your savings goals. Here is our selection of the best apps for budgeting.
The name explains itself. Spending Tracker allows you to keep track of your daily expenses to make sure you’re not going over your budget. Available on iOS and Android for free, the app lets you track your money weekly, monthly or yearly, depending on how much help you need with money managing. It produces reports with graphs and charts to help you visualise where your money goes. There is a ‘budget mode’ so you can set a fixed budget amount to help you meet your spending targets. Once you can see your main areas of spending then you can easily adapt your spending habits.
A 2013-Dubai-born app available in 22 countries. Wally helps you track your overall spending, compares it to your revenue and logs your expenses. Wally also includes a scanner that pulls all the data from your shopping receipts and adds them into the program. This app has received several awards and has been praised by big names such as Buzzfeed, Forbes or even The Wall Street Journal.
When budgeting correctly, one needs to know where to get the best deals. Meet price comparison app Pricena. It is a very simple concept: search for an item and get a search result showing you all the different online stores where you can purchase that product, along with the prices. While price comparison sites are highly popular in the US or Europe, it is not the case with the Middle East, as there aren’t that many sites. However, if you downloaded the Pricena app, you are good to go!
While the app mentioned above is a great app to use when looking for a specific item, sometimes we just feel like finding a good deal. The Entertainer has for a long time been the reference when it comes to deals in the UAE but there is a new kid on the block. This free app will ask for your demographic information when you sign up, so it will personalize the type of offers you see. Choose a specific type of restaurants and select your favorite 5 options amongst a list including hotels, online deals, shopping and many more to make sure not to miss out on any saving opportunities.
