Money-saving apps

Eight money saving apps to maximise your savings

The increasing cost of living can make it challenging to manage your finances. Luckily, many technology apps are available to help you save money, budget effectively, and optimise your spending. Here's a list of the top eight money-saving apps you should consider trying out.

1. Raiz

$3.50 per month*, available for  iPhone and Android

Formerly known as Acorns, Raiz is an innovative app that helps you save and invest your spare change. By linking your bank account, Raiz rounds up your daily purchases to the nearest dollar and invests the difference in a diversified portfolio. This micro-investing approach is perfect for those who struggle to save regularly. Key features include round-ups from everyday purchases, customisable investment portfolios, automatic recurring investments and rewards from partnered brands. 

2. Shopback

Free, available for iPhone and Android 

Shopback is a cashback app that rewards you for shopping at your favourite stores through partnerships with over 1,300 retailers - including big names like eBay, Amazon, and Woolworths. Shopback offers cashback on a wide range of products and services and gives you access to exclusive deals and discounts. There's also a browser extension for cashback tracking, and any cashback redemption can be made through bank transfer or PayPal. 

3. Goodbudget

Free, available for iPhone and Android 

Goodbudget is an excellent personal finance app for budgeting, tracking debt, and managing money. You can easily share your budget and data across multiple phones (and the web) and track your expenses on the go. The app is based on the envelope budgeting method, and the free version includes ten regular envelopes and ten annual envelopes. If you upgrade to a monthly plan (starting from $8.49), you will receive unlimited envelopes, automatic bank sync, and access to 7 years of transaction history.

4. Frollo

According to Frollo, users increased their savings by an average of $520 within the first three months of use!

5. GetReminded

Free, available for iPhone and Android 

GetReminded helps you to save money and reduce stress by managing your regular and annual expenses. The app sends intelligent alerts to your phone and email, along with relevant partner offers, so you can conveniently compare prices straight from the app. And you'll never forget to renew essential personal identity documents like vehicle registration, licences, and passport. It's also a simple way to save money when renewing contracts and plans, allowing you to avoid overpaying for insurance, streaming services, internet and other everyday commitments. The all-in-one app will help you to save money while organising your expenses. 

6. WiseList

Free, available for iPhone and Android 

With the cost of just about everything increasing regularly, it's a smart move to compare prices. No time for that? No worries. With WiseList, you can create your grocery list and compare item prices at Coles and Woolworths to know where the best buys are. You can even set up alerts for specific items to get notified when they are on special. 

7. YNAB (You Need A Budget)

8. Splitwise

It provides easy expense splitting and tracking, detailed expense reports and summaries, and notifications for upcoming payments. Splitwise comes with handy features like splitting expenses equally or unequally by percentages, shares, or exact amounts, adding informal debts and IOUs, creating recurring bills (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, yearly), and including multiple payers for a single expense.
