How it works

Thirty minutes to the first calm view of your money.

  1. Step 01

    Connect your accounts

    Import a CSV from your bank or pull in transactions one by one. The Better Decision keeps the data in your org, never sold, never shared.

  2. Step 02

    Categorize as you go

    Auto-categorization learns from your edits. Spending breakdowns and budgets update in the same view, so you decide on the page you read.

  3. Step 03

    See what comes next

    Recurring bills, forecasts, and a single per-period view show what's coming. No surprises at the end of the month.

Questions you might have

Frequently asked.

  • Is my data secure?
    Yes. All data lives in an EU data center, encrypted at rest. Account credentials are stored as bcrypt hashes. We use HTTPS everywhere and never store your bank login credentials.
  • Can I export my data?
    Yes. Every list view exports to CSV, and a one-click full org export is in the works. Your data is always yours.
  • Do you use my data to train AI?
    No. Personal financial data is never used to train models. The optional AI assistant runs against a provider you choose, and you can disable it at any time.
  • Can I delete my account?
    Yes. Account deletion is one click in Settings. It hard-deletes your data within seven days, and you receive a confirmation email when the deletion completes.
  • Do I need to connect my bank?
    No. You can import a CSV from your bank, or add transactions manually. Direct bank connections are on the roadmap but not required to get the full value out of the app.
  • Is it built for one person or a couple?
    Both. The data model is org-scoped, so you start as a one-person org and can invite a partner or housemate later. Each org has its own categories, accounts, and reports.
