A free expense tracker for the Philippines, in pesos
A lot of spending in the Philippines still happens in cash, with GCash and Maya covering most of the rest. Balance gives you one place to log both, in pesos, without linking a bank or wallet.
It's free with no ads, and quick enough to use for every sari-sari store run and jeepney fare.
Free · No ads · 140+ currencies · Android (iOS coming soon)
Built around how the Philippines pays
- GCash and Maya payments logged from the confirmation screenshot
- Cash spends at sari-sari stores, markets and commutes added in two taps
- Card purchases logged by scanning the receipt
- Load, electricity, water and internet tracked as recurring bills
Plan your 13th-month pay before it lands
Most employees in the Philippines receive 13th-month pay by December, and it's easy for it to disappear into the holidays. Decide in advance how much goes to savings, debts and gifts, then track the gift spending as its own category.
If you send money to family, track it as a category too. It's often one of the largest regular outflows, and seeing it clearly makes the rest of the budget easier to plan.
Your currency, set up for you
Balance sets your home currency from your phone's region the first time you open it, so in the Philippines amounts appear in Philippine pesos (PHP) with the right formatting. If you move or prefer another currency, you can switch to any of 140+ in settings.
What you get, free
- Receipt and payment-screenshot scanning that fills in amount, merchant and date
- Category, merchant and monthly breakdowns
- A monthly budget, fixed expenses and bill reminders
- A subscription tracker for things that renew
- Roast Mode: a witty nudge when you overspend
- Android home-screen widgets and CSV export
Frequently asked questions
Can I track GCash and Maya spending?
Yes, by scanning the payment screenshot or adding the spend manually. Balance doesn't connect to GCash or Maya directly.
Does Balance work in pesos?
Yes. Balance picks PHP automatically from your phone's region, and you can switch currency anytime.
Is Balance free?
Yes. Balance is free to download and use, with no ads. Everyday tracking — adding expenses, automatic capture, bills and subscriptions, accounts and CSV export — is free, and it isn't a trial that runs out.
Which platforms is Balance available on?
Balance is available on Android today. An iOS version is coming soon. It's a mobile app rather than a web dashboard.
