\u201c<\/em>Quicken Simplifi<\/em><\/a> remains our top pick.\u201d–NYT Wirecutter<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter another round of testing nearly a dozen apps, we continue to recommend Quicken Simplifi as the easiest, most comprehensive way to both see where your money is going and plan for future expenses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the official word from The New York Times<\/em> Wirecutter<\/a>, naming Simplifi its top pick in best budgeting apps for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost budget apps are either easy to set up but ultimately ineffective \u2026 or so complex and dull as to drive away anyone \u2026 <\/em>Simplifi<\/em><\/a> threads the needle.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve worked hard to thread that needle, making sure Quicken Simplifi is easy to use while giving you the control and flexibility you need\u2014with a brand new achievement system<\/a> that rewards you for keeping your finances on track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Prepped for Prosperity<\/strong> badges help you start taking control of your finances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Calm and in Control<\/strong> badges reward you for making your finances a habit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sensational Saver <\/strong>badges reward you for meeting your own goals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    With new achievements rolling out all the time, Simplifi is the budgeting app that actually helps you succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cOur favorite feature is the personalized spending plan, which gives you an up-to-the-minute dollar figure showing what you have left to spend for the rest of the month, after accounting for your bills and savings goals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We built that spending plan based on extensive research into the way the digital generation thinks about and manages money. These smart savers want to pay their bills and protect their future before<\/em> they buy that latte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Simplifi offers a flexible solution that works for everyone. It’s not rigid or stringent in its approach, it doesn’t force you to track every dime you spend, and\u2014best of all\u2014it lets you enjoy those little luxuries guilt-free, knowing for sure that you\u2019re not overdoing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NYT Wirecutter<\/em> also pointed out Simplifi\u2019s cash-flow projections and live customer support as key features other apps lack, helping you peer into your future balances as well as reaching live, human support by chat or phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although Wirecutter<\/em> considered free apps, it chose a paid app as its top pick for a reason:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cKeep in mind\u2014especially with free apps\u2014that the more services, features, and \u2018partner interactions\u2019 an app has, the more liable it is to leak data,\u201d Wirecutter<\/em> warns its readers. \u201cAn app might claim its data collection is anonymized or impossible to trace back to you, but that\u2019s not entirely true, especially without industry oversight of these apps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
