Research-based review, not hands-on testing. Last researched .

Overview

Kontu is a web app for planning a monthly budget (income, expenses, and allocations for savings goals) and separate budgets for one-off projects such as trips or a house move. Budgets can be shared with others by email invitation, and transactions can be entered in over 150 currencies with totals shown in a chosen main currency. It is run by a UK sole trader and does not require a bank connection.

Best for: Individuals or couples, especially UK/multi-currency users, who plan spending in advance rather than track a bank feed

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Plans a month by listing expected income and expenses, then assigning the remainder to allocations such as savings goals.
  • Separate project budgets with a target and itemized costs suit trips, moves and events.
  • Supports over 150 currencies per transaction, with totals in one main currency.
  • Shared budgets: invite a partner or group by email to update the same budget.
  • No bank connection required; month-over-month insights compare income, expenses and allocations.

Cons

  • Web only; no native mobile app was found.
  • Pricing could not be verified on the vendor's public pages fetched (no pricing page found), so cost and free-tier limits are unclear.
  • No bank sync or statement import was described, so all figures are entered by hand.
  • Very new with almost no independent reviews or store ratings.
  • Uses cookie-based usage measurement including session replay (only after consent).
