HelloWallet provides a user-friendly interface that makes budgeting your money simple. The software does not include gimmicks or rewards for saving or completing certain tasks, like other budgeting software. Setting up your account with HelloWallet is as easy as providing your income, loading your banking and financial accounts, and entering all of your bills and expenses. When compared to free budgeting software, HelloWallet is a bit costly at $8.95 a month, but you do not get bombarded with ads or pop-ups. The software is also easier to use and looks nicer than the free budgeting software, although there are a few glitches that need to be resolved on the app.
