Frequently asked questions
Everything parents ask before getting started.
Is real money involved?
No. Budgette is a tracking and teaching tool — it does not connect to bank accounts, hold real funds, or process payments of any kind. You record allowances and transactions manually, and your kids see their balances update in the app. Think of it as a digital version of the classic cash-in-jars system.
What ages is Budgette designed for?
Budgette works well for families with children roughly ages 4 to 13. Younger kids benefit from the simple, visual budget buckets, while older kids can take more ownership of their spending and saving. The child-friendly view adapts so each child sees only what's relevant to them.
Is my family's data safe?
Yes. On the Free plan, all data stays on your device — nothing leaves your phone. On Premium, data syncs securely to our servers so your family can share across devices. We never sell or share your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Do my kids need their own account?
Children don't create their own accounts. A parent sets up the family and adds each child's profile. On Premium, a parent can log into a child's device and put it into child mode — a simplified view that only shows that child's balances. The parent always stays in control.
How much allowance should I give my child?
There's no single right answer — it depends on your child's age, your family budget, and what you'd like them to learn. A common starting point is $0.50 to $1.00 per year of age per week (e.g., $5–$10/week for a 10-year-old). The important thing is consistency: a regular, predictable amount teaches budgeting better than occasional lump sums.
Can both parents manage the family?
On the Free plan, data lives on one device, so one parent manages everything. With Premium, you can invite up to two other adults (another parent, grandparent, etc.) who get full access to manage allowances, budgets, and transactions from their own device.
What happens if I cancel Premium?
You keep all your data. Your account reverts to the Free plan at the end of your billing period. Syncing stops, but everything stays on the device used by the account owner. You can re-subscribe anytime to turn sync back on.
Is Budgette available on Android?
Not yet — Budgette is launching first on iOS (iPhone and iPad). An Android version is on our roadmap and coming soon. Stay tuned!
