About us

Who We Are and What We Believe In

We are a small, passionate company from New Zealand, founded in 2023 after months of planning and conceptualizing the Beyond Budget app in 2022. Our journey began with a simple but powerful goal: to create a budgeting app that truly listens to its users and evolves based on their needs. From the very beginning, user feedback has been the cornerstone of our development process, guiding us as we add new features and improve existing ones. This focus on user-driven innovation sets us apart, and it's something we take great pride in.

Our Philosophy

We believe in building something different—a tool that empowers people to take control of their finances without compromising their privacy or user experience. We have made a deliberate choice to grow organically, using only our own funds without relying on external capital. This approach allows us to maintain complete control over our app's vision and user experience. We don't show ads, we don't sell user data, and we still provide high-quality support and app itself for all users, including those on our free plan. Our funding model is simple: it's entirely supported by subscription and lifetime plans, which cover our server costs, employee salaries, and other fixed expenses. All additional revenue is reinvested into making Beyond Budget even better.

Where Are the iOS and Web Platforms?

We are dedicated to bringing Beyond Budget to all platforms—Android, iOS, and web—so that no matter how you prefer to manage your finances, you can do it seamlessly with our app. However, because we are growing organically and relying solely on our own resources, expanding to these platforms will take some time. Right now, we’re focusing heavily on perfecting the Android app, thanks to its early success. This allows us to build a strong foundation before rolling out to iOS and web, ensuring that each version of the app meets our high standards of quality and user experience.

Using AI to Enhance Your Experience

We are excited about the potential of AI and are working hard to integrate AI-powered features into Beyond Budget. Although it's a costly investment, we believe the benefits of AI will far outweigh the expenses, providing users with smarter insights and personalized budgeting advice.

How Do You Make Money Without Showing Ads and Still Have a Free Plan?

At Beyond Budget, we believe that everyone should have access to quality financial tools. That's why we offer a free plan that provides 90% of the app's features, with only a few limitations. We want to help as many people as possible manage their finances effectively, without bombarding them with ads or compromising their data privacy.

In summary, we are committed to growing responsibly, staying true to our values, and delivering a product that puts users first. With Beyond Budget, you're not just using another budgeting app—you're joining a community that believes in transparent, user-focused financial empowerment.
