FAQ
Answers for calm decision-makers.
Does SlateSpend sync with my bank automatically?
No. We believe manual entry (or CSV import) builds better financial awareness. It also keeps our costs low and your data private.
Can I import data from other apps?
Yes. Our Import Superpowers allow you to map columns from any CSV export, making migration from YNAB or Mint seamless.
What is 'Age of Money'?
It is a metric that shows how long your money sits in your account before being spent, helping you break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
How does Safe-to-Spend work?
It subtracts upcoming bills, targets, and planned goals from your available cash so you know what is actually free to use today.
Is family sharing safe?
Yes. Pro plans include guardrails, approvals, and undo history so shared budgets stay clear and controlled.
Do you sell my data?
Never. SlateSpend is private by design. We do not sell or share your financial data with third parties.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Your data remains intact. You keep basic budgeting access and can upgrade again anytime.
