What you give up vs YNAB
- No bank/account sync; subscriptions must be entered manually
- No general budgeting categories or spending envelopes like YNAB
- Reporting is limited to subscription totals — no net-worth or cash-flow views
- No mobile native app; mobile access is browser-only
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Wallos on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (YNAB: a yearly subscription that keeps climbing).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (GPL-3.0).
