Built by Developers,
For Real People
We're not a faceless corporation or a VC-backed startup chasing growth at all costs. We're two developers who got frustrated with existing personal finance tools and decided to build something better.
Why We Built SpendSpace
Like most people, we tried all the popular budgeting apps. Some were too rigid—forcing us into categories that didn't match how we actually spend. Others were so complicated we spent more time managing the app than understanding our finances.
We wanted something different: an app that learns how YOU categorize spending, not the other way around. Train it once with your own categories, and it handles everything automatically from there.
No judgment. No guilt trips about "overspending." Just clear, honest visibility into where your money actually goes. Because you can't improve what you can't see.
Meet the Team
Two people. One mission. Financial clarity for everyone.
Jeff
Co-Founder & Lead Developer
15+ years • Backend Development
After over 15 years building backend systems, I got tired of personal finance apps that either oversimplified everything or required a PhD to understand. I wanted something that just worked—connect your accounts, see where your money goes, done. No budgeting guilt trips, no complicated rules. Just clarity.

Sam
Co-Founder & Security Lead
Security Specialist • Application Security
In the fintech space, security isn't optional—it's everything. I've spent my career making sure sensitive data stays safe. At SpendSpace, that means bank-level encryption, secure connections, and treating your financial data like it's our own. Because honestly, we use this app too.

What We Stand For
Being small means we can do things differently. Here's what matters to us.
We're Users Too
We built SpendSpace because we needed it ourselves. Every feature exists because we use it daily to track our own spending.
No VC Pressure
We're self-funded. No investors pushing us to monetize your data or add features you don't need. We answer to users, not shareholders.
Privacy First
We don't sell your data. Period. Your financial information is encrypted and never shared with third parties for advertising.
Transparent Pricing
One simple price. No hidden fees, no premium tiers that lock essential features. What you see is what you get.
A Note on Trust
We get it. Connecting your bank accounts to any app requires trust, and the fintech space has its share of bad actors. Here's our commitment to you:
- Read-only access — We can see your transactions, but we can never move your money
- Bank-level encryption — Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit using AES-256
- No data selling — Your financial data is never sold to advertisers or third parties
- Trusted bank connections — We use Teller, the same secure infrastructure used by major financial institutions
We're real people who use this app every day. Our reputations are on the line, and we take that seriously.
