Frequently asked questions

🎁

Is Kakebo really free?

Yes. Expense tracking, automatic budgets, savings and stats are free, unlimited and ad-free. Only the AI features (voice dictation and the Céleste assistant) need a €2.99/month subscription, no commitment.

🎙️

Does voice dictation actually work?

It does. Say “23 euros of groceries at Carrefour yesterday” and the AI extracts the amount, category, date and label. You check the proposed card, confirm, done.

🇯🇵

What is the kakeibo method?

The Japanese budgeting method: write down every expense, set a savings goal, review every week. Kakebo keeps the philosophy and automates everything else.

🔒

Where does my data go?

It lives on your phone first: the app works offline. The AI is hosted in Europe, your data is never sold, and you can delete your account in one tap from the app.

👫

Can we budget as a couple?

Yes: use the same account on both phones and the budget becomes shared, synced in real time across all devices.
