Your budget spreadsheet, grown up
Know where your money’s going before it goes.
Bills and paychecks down the side, months across the top, and the number that matters: where checking lands at the end of the month. This month, next spring, and the year after.
Free for 14 days, no card needed. Connect your bank, or type it in yourself.
| Line | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paychecks | $5,400 | $5,400 | $8,100 | $5,400 |
| Mortgage | $2,150 | $2,150 | $2,150 | $2,150 |
| Utilities card | $620 | $585 | $940 | $560 |
| Life Happens | $180 | $400 | $1,200 | – |
| Where You Land Each Month | $4,300 | $6,565 | $10,375 | $13,065 |
Three paydays in November! Even after a big month of Life Happens, you come out $3,810 ahead.
Your spreadsheet, minus the formulas.
The same math you’d do by hand, done every time anything changes. Balances carry from month to month and year to year, so next March is never a surprise.
Your bank does the typing.
Connect through Plaid and Ahead finds what repeats, files each bill under the card it’s charged to, and checks things off as they’re paid. It only reads, so it can’t move a cent.
Ask before you buy the thing.
“Can I afford a $1,200 trip in March?” Ahead plays it out on a copy of your plan and shows you which months change. Nothing’s saved until you say so.
Pricing
Yeah, we made sure everyone can afford it.
A money app you can’t afford would be a pretty bad joke. So here’s the whole deal, no fine print. Try all of it free for 14 days, AI included, no card.
Ahead
The whole app, minus the chatty part.
$3a month
billed yearly ($36)
or $4 month to month
Ahead + AI
Everything in Ahead, for when you’d rather just ask.
$6a month
billed yearly ($72)
or $7 month to month
Why a buck more month to month? The card companies take a cut of every charge. Pay yearly and they only get one bite.
Not everyone needs AI.
Honestly, most budgets don’t. Ahead does the math with plain arithmetic on either plan, and it comes out the same every time. The AI answers questions and does some of the typing. It never works out a number you see, and anything it does, you can see and undo.
Stay a step ahead of your money.
Your future self says thanks. Probably with a snack.
