How it works
- Connect your bank — Link the checking account you use for everyday spending.
- Get notified — Every time you spend, papertail sends a push notification with your remaining balance and burn rate.
- Stay in the green — One glance tells you if you’re on pace to make it to payday.
Built for couples
Share your budget with your partner. They get the same notifications, their own preferences, no extra cost. One subscription, two phones. One paper trail, two sets of eyes on it.
No categories. No charts. No “AI insights.”
Other apps want you to spend 20 minutes a week reviewing pie charts. papertail sends you a number and gets out of the way. It’s the budget app for people who hate budget apps.
Pricing
$9.99/year — Cheaper than one month of every other budget app.
7-day free trial. Connect your bank first, subscribe second. No risk.
Security
papertail connects to your bank via Plaid, the same service used by Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. Your credentials are never stored on our servers. Your paper trail stays yours.
