Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Eric Poulin, CEO of CalendarBudget:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to CalendarBudget?
A: CalendarBudget is an intuitive personal finance and budgeting tool that works both as a native app and on your desktop browser. Your income and spending are organized on a monthly calendar showing your account balance for every day in the past, present, and projected balance in the future, allowing you to plan your future spending and stay in control of your finances. Since we use a familiar monthly calendar, you can easily see spending patterns and truly understand where your money is going each month.
Q: Who is it made for?
A: CalendarBudget is made for busy people who are looking for solutions to manage their money and save for things. It’s for people who want a personal finance budgeting system that makes sense — for people who want to not only track what has already happened, but plan for the future. It’s for those who want to be debt free, who are saving for something, who want visibility into family finances. If you feel like you have no time, limited funds, are constantly task switching and need to save money to divert to other needs, CalendarBudget is designed for you. We get emails every week from single moms telling us we’ve saved their sanity level and from couples telling us how their marriage has been saved now that they can both see where their money is going.
Q: What makes you the best budget planning software?
A: Where most other tools simply track your past, CalendarBudget pioneered the ability to forecast your balance into the future based on how your income and expenses typically repeat. We also sync your data on the cloud so whether you are viewing your information on a web browser or on the mobile app, you can be confident that you are always looking at the latest information since both are always in perfect sync with each other.
Q: What are the benefits of organizing and planning your money on a calendar?
A: We naturally think and plan in terms of dates on a calendar and days of the week. It is so much easier to remember that, for example, your expense on Friday is groceries since Friday is your typical grocery shopping day. We plan trips, tasks and just about everything else using a calendar. It makes things so much easier and more manageable when we use a familiar format. Also, the ability to see your account balance on every day even in the future, allows you to plan for all of your expenses and avoid accidentally going in the red in the middle of the month.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: We’ve purposefully kept the price of CalendarBudget low to make it affordable to those who need it most. After a 30-day free trial, CalendarBudget is a subscription membership at $3.99 USD/month or $40 USD/year. This membership includes support and access to the web browser and native mobile versions for iOS or Android. Members can expect constant updates to the service and timely support.
Recommended: Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: We will continue to add functionality to the native mobile app, which just launched in December 2018, until you can do everything on the mobile app that you can on the desktop browser. Then, we are planning a rewrite of the browser version to modernize the look and feel and rebase on the latest technology to support a number of important features we’ve been wanting to add for a while.
