A budgeting app for income that isn't the same every month
Most budgeting apps assume a steady paycheck. FinnLion tracks your budget against what actually comes in — freelance income, a day job, a side hustle, all of it — and tells you if you're on pace before the month's over.
Try FinnLion free →Pace, not just a spending list
See whether you're over or under budget for where you are in the month — not just a total at the end.
Subcategories that roll up
Utilities can split into Electric and Gas, and you still see the combined total at a glance.
Business and personal, one view
Every dollar in and out tags as business or personal, so your budget reflects your actual whole financial life.
Bills auto-populate
Recurring bills feed the budget automatically and flag when one's crept up month over month.
Built for freelancers, not adapted for them
Most budgeting apps are built around a single paycheck and treat self-employment income as an edge case. FinnLion starts from the opposite assumption: your money comes from more than one place, and your budget should see all of it without making you maintain two separate systems. A side hustle sits right next to your day job's money, properly tagged, in the same budget.
Frequently asked questions
How is FinnLion different from YNAB or a spreadsheet?▼
YNAB and most budgeting apps assume your money is personal only. FinnLion tags every transaction business or personal, so one budget sees your whole picture without hiding your freelance income from your personal spending plan, or vice versa.
Can I budget for irregular freelance income?▼
Yes. Budgets track against actual income as it arrives rather than assuming a fixed paycheck, and the pace indicator shows whether you're on track for the month regardless of when income lands.
Does it support subcategories?▼
Yes — group related spending under a parent category (like Utilities covering Electric and Gas) and see both the rollup and the breakdown.
Your budget is one piece. FinnLion is the whole picture.
Invoicing, bank sync, debt payoff, mileage, and quarterly taxes — built for freelancers and side hustles, not an enterprise team you don't have.
