Frequently asked questions

Oodal Budgets is a live transaction tracker that connects to your bank and automatically organizes every transaction into a clean dashboard that's updated every morning. No spreadsheets, no manual entry, no complicated budgeting methods. Just your money, clearly laid out.

Create an account, verify your email, then connect your bank through Plaid on your dashboard. That's it! Your transactions will start appearing immediately, and every morning they'll be automatically updated. The whole setup takes about two minutes.

No. Your transaction data lives in your Oodal dashboard and is accessible anytime. If you want a spreadsheet copy, you can optionally connect Google Sheets to export your data but it's not required to use Oodal Budgets.

Yes. We use Plaid (the same technology used by Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase, and thousands of other apps) to connect to your bank. We never see your banking username or password. Access is strictly read-only, ensuring we can never move money or make transactions on your behalf.

Over 12,000 US financial institutions are supported through Plaid, including Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi, PNC, TD Bank, and most credit unions. If your bank supports Plaid, it works with Oodal Budgets.

Unlimited. Connect checking, savings, and credit card accounts from multiple banks. All transactions from all accounts appear together in your dashboard.

$4.99/month or $50/year (essentially $4.17/month and a 16% savings). Both plans include a 7-day free trial.

Yes, a payment method is required to start the trial, but you won't be charged until after the 7-day trial ends. Cancel before then and you'll never be billed.

From your dashboard, click "Manage Subscription." You'll be taken to the Stripe billing portal where you can cancel, update payment info, or switch plans. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Your transaction history is available in your Oodal dashboard for the duration of your subscription. If you connected Google Sheets, that spreadsheet stays in your Drive permanently as yours. We'll stop syncing new transactions, but everything already recorded remains available.
