How this is paid for

Pricing

One price, everything included, and one revenue line. In this category the second part matters more than the first, because it decides whose side the app is on.

TLDR Money International

$3.49

Per month. Or $29.99 a year, which works out about 28% cheaper than paying monthly. Everything in the app is included in both — there is no higher tier.

You cannot buy it yet. The international app has not launched. These are the prices it will carry when it does, published now so that nobody meets them for the first time at a paywall.

In pounds and euros

The app is sold through the App Store and Google Play, so you are charged in your own currency at the local price tier each store sets — not a live conversion of the dollar figure. Prices shown in the UK and the EU include VAT, as the law requires, which is why a euro figure is not simply the dollar one converted.

Apple and Google are the merchant of record: they handle the billing, the tax and the refunds, under their terms as well as ours.

One revenue line

The subscription, and nothing else. Specifically, none of the following:

This is a design constraint before it is an ethical one. An app that earns by steering you toward a product cannot also be the thing that tells you honestly where you stand, and in this category a good number of the free options are the former dressed as the latter.

What the subscription covers

Everything. There is no plan matrix, because a plan matrix in a personal finance app usually exists to put the useful features on the expensive row.

Whether there is also a limited free tier is still open. It is the one pricing question not yet settled, and this page will say so until it is.

How that compares

The nearest comparable app is Finny, at the same $3.49 a month. It has receipt scanning, voice entry and 150+ currencies, which we respect. It has no net worth tracking, no FIRE projection and no Android app at all.

Where we are more expensive: its annual plan is cheaper than ours. Where we are not: a spending log, a net worth ledger and a date for financial independence in one subscription, on both platforms, rather than a tracker.

Prices for other apps change without notice. Check theirs rather than taking ours as current.

India is priced separately

The Indian app is a different product — it reads Gmail transaction alerts with consent, handles Indian instruments, and is priced in rupees. Its pricing lives at tldrmoney.in/pricing.

The two are not interchangeable, and one subscription does not cover both.

The calculators stay free

All ten of them, with no account, no email address and no limit. They are useful on their own, and a calculator behind a signup wall is not a tool, it is a lead form.

Common questions

How much does TLDR Money cost?
$3.49 a month, or $29.99 a year which is about 28% cheaper. Everything in the app is included in both and there is no higher tier. In the UK and the EU you are charged the local store price including VAT rather than a conversion of the dollar figure.
Can I subscribe now?
No. The international app has not launched. The prices are published in advance so that nobody meets them for the first time at a paywall.
Is there a free tier?
Not decided. It is the one pricing question still open, and this page will be updated when it closes rather than left ambiguous.
Is my subscription the same across India and other countries?
No. They are separate products with different features, sold in different territories at different prices. A subscription to one does not give access to the other.
Do you sell my data?
No, not in aggregate, not anonymised, and not to partners. The subscription is the only revenue. There is also very little to sell: the app holds no bank credentials and reads no email.
Will the price go up?
Possibly, as any subscription might. What will not happen is an increase for someone who already subscribed at a lower price without their explicit agreement, because both app stores require consent for that and we would not want it otherwise.
