What's the difference between BudgetBuddie and SortMe?
SortMe is a simpler money-management app. BudgetBuddie is built for everyday New Zealand budgeting with a live dashboard, cashflow, net worth, a retirement planner, merchant categorising, and NZ bank connections.
Is BudgetBuddie a good SortMe alternative?
Yes, if you've outgrown a simpler tracker. BudgetBuddie keeps the everyday money view and adds cashflow, net worth, retirement planning, and household sharing.
Features
Does SortMe have cashflow, net worth, or a retirement planner?
Those aren't SortMe's focus. BudgetBuddie includes cashflow forecasting, net worth tracking, and a retirement planner alongside daily budgeting.
Does BudgetBuddie connect to NZ banks?
What extra features do I get with BudgetBuddie?
A live dashboard, auto and merchant categorising, live transactions, account balances, shared household, cashflow, net worth, and a retirement planner.
Which is better for couples or shared households?
BudgetBuddie includes shared household support. If you budget with a partner, that's a common reason people move from SortMe.
Switching
How do I switch from SortMe to BudgetBuddie?
Create a BudgetBuddie account and connect your banks through Akahu. Your transactions come in so you can set up your budget without rebuilding everything by hand.
How does BudgetBuddie keep my bank data secure?
We use 256-bit bank-grade encryption and host data on AWS. Bank connections go through Akahu — we never see your bank login.
What happens after I sign up?
You can start on the free plan. If you try Pro and don't continue, you stay on the free plan with some features limited. Upgrade anytime.
Can I cancel a paid plan anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the manage-account portal. Access ends when you cancel, and unused time is credited.
