What you give up vs YNAB

  • Automatic bank sync (Plaid integration) requires API keys and third-party costs
  • Investment data import limited compared to dedicated portfolio trackers
  • Multi-user household support is still being developed

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Maybe on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (YNAB: a yearly subscription that keeps climbing).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
