What TLDR Money does

TLDR Money is an expense tracker for India that you can type or talk to. You log what you spend in a sentence, ask questions about your own spending, and set budgets that warn you before you run over. Here is every feature, how it works, and which plan it is on.

The short version. Manual entry, budgets, alerts and recurring entries are free and unlimited. Voice and chat entry, Ask and your full history are where Pro comes in. Every new account starts with 30 days of Pro, and nothing you log is ever deleted when a plan ends. Prices and the full comparison.

Manual entry

Amount, merchant, category, save. It is unlimited and free on every plan, and nothing in the app ever stops you from logging a transaction — not a monthly limit, not a paywall, not an expired trial.

Voice entry

Hold the microphone and say it: “four hundred on groceries yesterday”. The app turns what you said into text, pulls out the amount, the merchant and the category, and opens a confirm card with every field editable.

Chat entry

Type a sentence and the app creates the transactions. “₹250 auto and ₹180 chai” becomes two entries, each categorised and dated.

Voice and chat share one counter: 30 entries a month on the free plan, unlimited on Pro.

Ask

Ask answers questions about your own spending — “how much did I spend on food last month?”, “what did I spend on travel in August?” — from your own ledger.

How the answer is made matters more than the answer. A model asked to add up two hundred transactions will get it wrong, confidently. So the model never sees your transactions. It sees your question, your category names and your currency, and turns the question into a query. The app runs that query against your ledger and computes the number itself, and the sentence you read is filled in from a template. The model never writes a figure.

The free plan includes 5 Ask questions a month, counted separately from voice and chat entries. Pro is unlimited.

Budgets, alerts and recurring entries

Set a monthly budget for any category and watch its progress through the month. You get an alert at 80% and another at 100%. Rent, SIPs, subscriptions and anything else that repeats can be set as recurring, and the app logs them on schedule. All of this is free and unlimited on both plans.

History

The free plan shows this month and last month. Pro shows everything you have ever logged.

Nothing older is deleted. It stays stored, hidden from view, and comes back the moment you subscribe — the app says exactly that: “Your older data is safe. Upgrade to see it.” Trends cover whatever history your plan shows, and the full data download in Settings always covers everything, on either plan.

The recap card

One tap from the stats screen turns a month into an image you can share: total spent, income, savings rate, and where the money went, ranked by category. It is free for any month or year. Pro adds any custom date range.

A shared ledger, one subscription for two people

Pro lets you invite one partner into a shared ledger, and the person you invite gets full Pro on your subscription — their own personal ledger included.

Export

A full download of everything you have logged sits in Settings, on every plan — one button, all of it, including any history your plan currently hides. That is what makes the history limit fair rather than a hostage situation. Pro adds formatted exports: a CSV and a PDF report, by date range and grouped by category.

No ads, on any plan

There are no ads in the free plan and none in Pro, and that is not a launch promotion. The app is paid for by the Pro subscription and nothing else. How we make money.

What it does not do

Coming to India

Four features are planned for India and are not in the app today:

  • Automatic tracking from your Gmail — reading the transaction alerts your bank already emails you.
  • Net worth — everything you own and owe, as one figure.
  • A FIRE projection — the year your savings could cover your spending.
  • Mutual fund import from your CAS statement.

Gmail access depends on Google’s independent security assessment of the app, so there is no date for any of them yet. A small private beta already uses Gmail tracking. Until the rest arrives, the net worth calculator and the retirement planner on this site are free and need no sign-up.
