I have been using Penny since the second launch on Show HN and have been absolutely loving it. Hands down solves the number one problem I have with Mint, et al which is an overload of information. The screen with all my purchases auto-categorized (not always right but close enough) is fantastic and I depend on it. The simple chat options are exactly what I want to know and only a few clicks away. The gifs are also super appreciated. I really like the comedy thrown into a usually boring topic. Just started getting the premium push in-app and I wondered when it was going to happen. I don't mind it since obviously the lights need to stay on but I am not sure sub-categories is compelling enough for me since it kind of ruins the simplicity I love so much. More data isn't necessarily what I am after here. Otherwise, huge kudos. Love Penny. |

For what it's worth, we don't think the premium experience (Penny+) is a good fit for most of our users. Locking extra complexity behind a premium version was actually our way of keeping the core experience simple (and encouraging people to not mindlessly turn on extra features unless they're confident they want them). We think the simplicity of the core experience is one of the main reasons people continue to use Penny over time; complexity begets churn, even if users ask for that complexity. We eschew traditional budgets for the same reasons.
