One-time payment, forever

The cheapest lifetime budget app. By a lot.

Most "lifetime" budgeting apps charge $35–$150 once — and that's on top of whatever tier you're already paying for. SomedayFund Pro is a one-time $9.99, includes every future Pro feature, and the Free plan never expires.

Why $9.99, once, actually works

Most apps price "lifetime" deals as a discount off years of subscription revenue — which is why they tend to land in the $35–$150 range, and are often only available as limited-time promos for new users.

SomedayFund is built around a permanent free plan plus a single low-cost upgrade. $9.99 unlocks unlimited accounts and categories, envelope budgeting, and CSV export — and every Pro feature added after you buy is included at no extra cost. There's no separate "lifetime" SKU to upsell into.

It's also manual-entry by design — no bank account linking, so it works the same whether you're in the US, Sri Lanka, or anywhere else, with bank-level AES-256 encryption on the data you do store.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a truly one-time-payment budget app?
Yes. SomedayFund Pro is a single $9.99 payment — no monthly fee, no annual renewal, and no expiry. Most "lifetime" budgeting apps either gate it behind a higher tier or sell it as a limited promo; SomedayFund's $9.99 price is the standard, permanent price.
What's the cheapest lifetime budgeting app?
SomedayFund Pro, at $9.99 one-time. For comparison, PocketGuard's lifetime Plus plan is listed at $149.99 (sometimes discounted to $79.99), and Wallet by BudgetBakers' lifetime Premium has been offered around $35–$40 for new users. SomedayFund is roughly 8–15x cheaper than either.
Are lifetime deals on budgeting apps worth it?
They can be — if the app is still actively maintained and the lifetime price covers future updates. SomedayFund's $9.99 Pro plan includes every future Pro feature at no extra cost, so you're not buying a frozen snapshot of the app.
Does SomedayFund Pro include future features?
Yes. Envelope budgeting, unlimited accounts and categories, CSV export, and any Pro feature added later are all included in the same one-time $9.99 — there's no separate "lifetime" tier above Pro.
Is there a catch with the $9.99 lifetime price?
No subscription, no upsell tier, no ads. The Free plan is also permanent (unlimited transactions, 3 accounts, budget caps, savings goals, and trip tracking). $9.99 unlocks unlimited accounts/categories, envelope budgeting, and CSV export — once, forever.
