I’m guessing because this one is open. There are very few self hosted budgeting tools, and a lot of desktop ones. If I’m going through the trouble of self hosting one, it better be open source. I don’t want to get stuck with all my financial data in an app I don’t want to pay anymore or worse, goes out of business.
If the open self hosted app doesn’t suit me, there’s GnuCash. A bit of a learning curve and less sexy, but it’s solid and got my finances stable through college.
Oh, you edited your link from https://actualbudget.com/ to their GitHub, huh? You cheating cheater who cheats. I would track down the log on lemmy but you ain’t worth the effort.
I highlighted two links in the image and you asked me to click either of those. In no point in your linked message you said you edited your original message. I’m done with you, you can’t operate under honest discourse.
I did look in the link you provided earlier and all I saw was pricing and features. Nothing wrong with an open project selling services, of course. But can you really blame me?
Regardless, this is a thread about self-hosted open-source budgeting, which is why I linked to Actual Budget. I have updated the first post to be the Github link instead to prevent confusion.
Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.
I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)

You’re replying to my comment about Actual Budget, the very open source budgeting solution?

You jumped to a conclusion on pricing and made a mistake, it’s ok, no big deal.

I mean I really can. They don’t have any paid option so you definitely didn’t see any pricing. They only have a big open source message:
I don’t know where you got that, but this is what I get clicking that first link you posted:
Try clicking either of those links.

Why would I do that to try to find the source code?
I mean…
What is your point exactly?
That someone trying to find the source code wouldn’t look for it under “Pricing”.
Actualbudget.com =/= actualbudget.org

I just followed the link.
Yeah I think he just shared the .com domain and wasn’t thinking about it/aware which is why he edited his comment and just linked to the GitHub page.
It’s really annoying, because the .com address is the top result on Google too when you search for Actual Budget.
