Learn how to review your BudgetLabs subscription status and understand app integrations for a seamless budgeting experience. This guide covers accessing settings and basic mobile app features for beginners.
Reviewing Your Subscription Status
BudgetLabs offers free and Pro plans. To check your subscription and manage billing, follow these steps in the app. This helps you see your current plan, upgrade, or view billing details without needing external tools. Note: For full pricing details, visit our public pricing page at /pricing.
- Open the Settings section from the navigation menu.
- Scroll to the subscription status area to review your plan details and active status.
- Use available billing management actions, such as viewing invoices or updating payment info, if shown in your account.
- Save any changes and confirm your status updates in the profile overview. This keeps your account current for uninterrupted access to features like the Financial Lab.
Understanding App Integrations
BudgetLabs is designed as a standalone app with manual entry for privacy and control, available on web and mobile. It runs natively on iOS and Android via Capacitor for a smooth experience. No direct bank syncing is available to focus on intentional budgeting—use CSV imports or AI-powered receipt scanning instead.
- Access the app on your device: On mobile, download from the App Store or Google Play; on web, visit budgetlabs.com.
- Use the bottom navigation on mobile for sections like Dashboard, Transactions, and Settings.
- For integration-like features, open Transactions to import CSV files from your bank or use the AI receipt parser for quick entry.
- In Settings, adjust native mobile options like notification preferences to integrate budgeting into your daily routine. This setup ensures your data stays secure without third-party connections.
Tracking Subscription Expenses
While managing your BudgetLabs subscription, track related expenses in your budget using categories and annual events. This keeps recurring costs visible in your zero-based plan.
- Open Categories and add or edit a 'Subscriptions' category for ongoing fees.
- For annual renewals, go to Calendar, find the Annual Events panel, and tap Add to set the renewal date, amount, and linked category.
- Choose notification settings to get reminders before renewal.
- Save and check your Dashboard—the event will appear in the relevant month, with a quick chip to adjust planned amounts. Use this for any subscription-like expenses to avoid surprises.
