Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

Honeydue is a free app that offers valuable joint financial tracking for couples, but its persistent syncing issues and non-existent customer support severely undermine its utility and make it not worth paying for, despite its potential.

Honeydue is a free budgeting app designed for couples to track shared finances, offering features like expense splitting and bill reminders. However, it is plagued by frequent bank syncing problems, missing transactions, and a complete lack of customer support, making it unreliable despite its strong concept.

Free vs paid

Honeydue is advertised as a free app, and user reviews confirm that core features like syncing accounts, tracking expenses, splitting bills, and setting spending limits are available without payment R10R32R53R68. There are no specific mentions in the reviews of features locked behind a paywall or a paid tier, but some users express a willingness to pay if critical bugs, especially syncing issues, were resolved R50.

Value complaints

    Where it delivers

    • The app is highly praised for its core concept of enabling couples to manage and track shared finances effectively, promoting transparency and communication.R4R6R10R13
    • Users appreciate that Honeydue offers robust features for free, such as syncing multiple accounts, splitting expenses, setting budgets, and bill reminders, making it a strong alternative to paid apps.R10R28R32R50
    • Specific features like bill tracking, commenting on transactions, and the ability to link Venmo for repayments are highlighted as particularly useful.R9R10R38R39
    Worth paying if

    It is not worth paying for Honeydue given the current state of the app, as its core functionalities are free and there is no evidence from reviews that paying would resolve the pervasive issues like bank syncing or customer support.

    Skip / stay free if

    You should skip Honeydue if you require reliable bank syncing, accurate transaction data, or responsive customer support R7R8R12R17. Also, if you need advanced budgeting features like month-over-month trends, detailed reports, custom categories, or a web interface, this app will not meet your needs R19R36.

    Evidence note: The reviews consistently highlight a strong concept and useful features, but these are almost universally overshadowed by critical technical issues and a complete lack of customer support. The lifetime rating is high, but recent reviews are heavily skewed negative due to these persistent problems.

    1. [R4] 5/5 · US Excellent tool for finaces: Totally recommend anyone to keep track of finances
    2. [R6] 4/5 · US Best couples finance app I've found: This app is the best for financial visibility among multiple accounts owned by different people. My only issue is that the app support has been nonexistent. I've emailed app support multiple times with questions and minor issues and haven't received a single response.
    3. [R10] 5/5 · US Amazing free finance tracking for Couples: This app is amazing, simple, a little clunky but the value and tools it provides is the basis for being mindful about spending. Alerts aren’t as quick, transactions don’t update rapid fast. But it works well and the ability to comment and react to individual transactions makes a chore fun for both of us.
    4. [R13] 5/5 · US So easy: My husband and I have used this for years and genuinely love using it.
    5. [R28] 5/5 · US Amazing Free App: Former Mint user who moved to Quicken Simplifi which was amazing, however it got a lot more expensive and had some connectivity issues so I decided to try this and was amazed by how I could do all the same customizations with this app and get almost sll the same features. I hope in the future the following is added: 1- ability to connect to Amazon store card 2- ability to refresh
    6. [R32] 5/5 · US The best for free ( I tried a lot of apps) this one is amazing!: I have testing several budget app and this one for free absolute best recommend
    7. [R50] 4/5 · US Love this app but: I constantly am having to disconnect and reconnect my credit card account and recategorize all my transactions because it drops them. Otherwise, it’s the only app I know that does what I need and all for free. I’d honestly pay for it if that issue was resolved. Otherwise, it fits our need so well that I’m sticking it out and just hoping this improves over time.
    8. [R9] 4/5 · US Nice but needs a few improvements.: This is a nice option for couples who need an app to track finances. I like the app but when entering purchases they’re not in order. They go into a random order which isn’t helpful when tracking with two people. Also I wish there was an option for pending charges. The bill section is a very nice feature. I like it alot but the other issues have caused me to lo
    9. [R38] 5/5 · US Seriously the best app!: Not only can you load all your bills individually but , also your joint bills and your separate accounts . So , there is no guessing game of who can pay which . Makes life so much easier. I also love the split expenses whenever the other owes you money you can keep it all accounted for with what it is for and the app can Link you Venmo to pay it back !! So nice !
    10. [R39] 5/5 · US Best Couples Finance App: Communication between partners about paying bills couldn’t be easier! We never miss a bill and know who pays it when and from what account. Any financial communication can go through our private text forum in the app. No need to scroll through all the messages we get these days in regular forums. I will recommend this to my clients.
    11. [R53] 4/5 · US Really like- could Love: I like this app but could use a few things and I would LOVE it. First though, the perks- it’s free and you don’t have to pay to sync your accounts like most other apps. Its fairly easy to use.. What I would consider: It often times changes things I already sorted. It would be nice to see a total budget and not have to keep filtering to only show me this month rather than
    12. [R68] 4/5 · US Great with some potential improvements: Been really pleased with this app so far. I love that it’s so powerful while also being completely free. That being said, I’d love to see some more transaction and budget visualization especially for an entire year at a time.
    13. [R7] 1/5 · US Constant Bank Sync Issues: This app would be great if the connection to the bank didn’t fail every few days. You constantly need to check if your accounts are synced. If it breaks, sometime the re-sync option works. Other times you need to reconnect from scratch, which is also hit or miss. None of these options are explained anywhere so figuring out where to look and which wires to jiggle is a pai
    14. [R8] 1/5 · US Always loses sync: Awful finance app. Only maintain sync with accounts for a week or two and then refuses to update. Truly useless, do not download.
    15. [R12] 1/5 · US No support: I really liked this app and used it all the time but it suddenly stopped being able to refresh my account a month ago. I tried emailing support twice and got no reply. I’ll update my review if they ever end up fixing it! (Update: still no reply. Do not trust this app with your bank details because clearly they do not care. Deleting this app now .)
    16. [R17] 2/5 · US Poor integration quality: constant desync friction: The app crates a lot of friction due to banks constantly getting desynchronized with useless message “email us” appearing (I tried to email - no response), you have to remove affected banks every month or so and add them back, resetting all tx retagging you have done
    17. [R1] 2/5 · US Great App! But I Can’t Get Support.: I really want to continue using Honeydue because I believe it has the features we need. Unfortunately, I’m locked out of my account because my two-factor authentication is tied to an old phone number that I no longer have access to. I’ve contacted support multiple times requesting help updating my authentication information but haven’t received a response.
    18. [R11] 3/5 · US Too many glitches: When splitting categories it keeps reverting back to original category. Can’t edit comments. Customer service doesn’t respond to emails for help.
    19. [R19] 3/5 · US No Browser: I like the app and idea of having a pkaces to text each other about bills so its all in one place but really wish you can access it on a computer. Which would be great when doing initial setup or working on categories etc… but until that happensI will have to continue using rocketmoney.
    20. [R85] 4/5 · US Useful but I have feature requests!: Feature requests: - Ability to export data - Web UI - Custom spending categories Well done: - Surprisingly, notifications (I normally hate notifications and turn them off, but these remind me of ongoing major expenses and help me maintain the data)
    21. [R99] 5/5 · US LOVE IT!: Ive been using these apps for years. And I love it. It helpful and easy to use. I wish they have a feature where I can move all transaction to one category at the same time and for future transaction. Would live to have desktop version. I love this app!
    22. [R36] 2/5 · US Nice concept, questionable execution: The concept for this app is solid. However, no matter how many consecutive months you move your phone bill from 'groceries' to 'utilities', it never learns and keeps miss-sorting which is annoying when 90% of your transactions are the same 30 businesses like the same exact grocery store and same exact gas station. Also it seems like they tried to make the sort
    23. [R52] 3/5 · US No custom categories: I love this app but I would be great if the developers would to add custom categories.
    24. [R70] 3/5 · US Good but needs improvements: Im a former mint user. Honeydue has a lot of great features and is fairly straightforward and easy to use. The color tracking and icon is nice. Needs improvement in following areas: ability split a transaction between categories, apply similar transactions to same category feature doesn’t work consistently.
    25. [R77] 3/5 · US Works well enough: I’ve used this app for almost a month to track finances for my fiancé and I. Features I like: - Custom categories and Spending amounts - Easy Navigation - Bill reminders - Budget reminders Features that could use improving: - The auto categorizing feature, a lot of times it right but I do frequently still have to fix it. Even worse is I will fix it and I’ll go back in a coup
