A Tiller alternative that isn't a spreadsheet you have to maintain.
Tiller pipes your bank feed into Google Sheets for about $79 a year. It's clever, and it means your household finances live in Google's cloud, in a workbook whose formulas you are now responsible for.
Tiller users are spreadsheet people: they want the numbers visible and the logic legible. So do we. The difference is where the sheet lives and who keeps it working when a column shifts.
What Tiller gets right
Transparency. Every number is in a cell you can inspect and change — no black box. We share that value; the Purse shows its arithmetic on the face of the page rather than hiding it behind a chart.
Where we differ
A spreadsheet is infinitely flexible, which is another way of saying it is infinitely breakable. Tiller's templates are good, but a household budget maintained as a live workbook has a way of accumulating orphan columns and one wrong SUM range. A purpose-built file can't drift that way.
If you love the sheet
Then honestly — stay. Tiller plus a sheet you understand is a fine system, and better than most SaaS. Come to us when you're tired of being the one who keeps it working.

Common questions
Can I export to a spreadsheet?
Yes — CSV out, any time, into Sheets, Excel, LibreOffice, whatever you like.
Can I import my Tiller history?
Export the transactions sheet as CSV and paste it in. Mapping categories is manual and one-time.
Do I lose formula-level control?
You lose the ability to invent new columns. You gain a file that behaves the same in five years.
Does it need Google?
No. No Google account, no Google servers, no Google anything.
