1Shared bills, your own spending

In Oaktally you share the plan for rent, groceries and goals. Your own purchases stay yours, and each shared expense shows who paid and who owes whom.

2One price for both of you

Both Oaktally plans cover two adults. Basic is $5.99 a month; Premium is $12.99 a month or $129.99 a year and adds investments, cash ahead and answers about your spending.

3What Oaktally does not do yet

Oaktally does not connect to your bank. You add spending by voice, with a receipt photo or with a tap, which takes a few seconds and keeps you looking at every purchase.
