Spend Sprout gives you a friendly, spreadsheet-based budget template that just makes sense. No complicated dashboards. No learning curve. Just clarity.
Spend Sprout is a budget spreadsheet built for your personal life.
Answer a few questions about your spending, and we'll build it for you.
Go Guided for a quick 5-minute setup, or choose AI Auto Pilot (coming soon) to connect your bank and let us handle everything.
Answer a few simple questions about your income, expenses, and goals. No finance knowledge needed — if you know what you spend on, you're good.
We generate a personalized Google Sheet with your categories, amounts, and targets already filled in. Open it up and start taking control.
No overwhelm. No jargon. Just a spreadsheet that actually serves you.
Most budgeting tools throw charts, rules, and endless features at you. It looks powerful — until it’s exhausting. Spend Sprout strips it all back to a clean spreadsheet that shows exactly what matters, nothing more.
No rigid systems telling you how to budget. No app making decisions for you. Just your numbers, your categories, your rules — all in a format you already understand and can adjust as you like.
Budgeting shouldn’t feel like managing another app. With no notifications, no syncing issues, and no clutter, your money becomes something you calmly check — not something you avoid.
You don’t need to learn a new system or memorize financial rules. If you can use a spreadsheet (or follow a few simple prompts), you can build a budget that works from day one.
Start as simple as you need. Add detail when you’re ready. Your budget evolves naturally — without forcing you into advanced features before you actually need them.
Other tools try to do everything — tracking, investing, subscriptions, credit scores. We focus on one thing: helping you clearly understand where your money goes. And that’s what actually changes behavior.
Answer a few simple questions about your money. Get back a budget spreadsheet built around your actual life — not a generic template.
Pay once. Budget forever.
Connect your bank and let Spend Sprout do the rest. We build your budget, watch your spending, and keep you on track — so you don't have to think about it.
For when you're ready to let the spreadsheet run itself.
You don't need to be an accounting wizard. If you know how much you get paid and what you spend on, that's all it takes. Pick a few categories below and watch your budget come together.
1. Pick categories you spend on
2. Add a couple items to each category

Not with the Guided plan! You answer a short questionnaire, we build your spreadsheet, and your data never leaves your Google Sheet. The AI Auto Pilot plan (coming soon) offers an optional bank connection through Plaid for automatic budget updates — but it's totally your call.
Different, not just better. Apps like Mint and YNAB are powerful but can feel overwhelming — especially if you're just starting out. Spend Sprout gives you a real spreadsheet you already know how to use. You control your data, there's no learning curve, and you're not locked into a platform. Think of it as the on-ramp to healthy budgeting habits.
That's exactly who this is built for. The Guided plan walks you through a short questionnaire about your income, spending, and goals — no finance knowledge required. In about five minutes, you'll have a personalized budget spreadsheet that makes sense for your life.
A Google Sheets budget spreadsheet built around your actual numbers — not a blank template. Your spending categories, income, and budget targets are pre-filled based on your answers. You own the spreadsheet and can edit, share, or customize it however you want.
Yes — your budget is delivered as a Google Sheet, so you'll need a free Google account to open and edit it. Google Sheets works in any browser and on any device, no software to install.
The Guided plan is a one-time $5 payment — no subscription, no recurring charges. You pay once, you keep your spreadsheet forever. The AI Auto Pilot plan (coming soon) will be $8/month for ongoing automatic updates and spending insights, but that's completely optional.
You'll be taken straight to a short setup questionnaire. Answer a few questions about your income, expenses, and goals, and we'll generate your personalized budget spreadsheet. The whole thing takes about five minutes — you'll walk away with a link to your finished Google Sheet.
Starting a budget is the single best thing you can do for your financial peace of mind. Let us help you get started.

“I tried multiple budgeting apps and never stuck with them. This is the first time it just clicked.”
“Every other tool felt like work. This feels like checking something simple off my list.”
“I didn’t need another app. I just needed something to make sense of my money.”
"Nobody taught me how to manage money — I learned the hard way. As a first-gen US citizen, the resources weren't there for me, and they still aren't for most. That's why I built 🌱 Spend Sprout."
