Budgeting apps changed the way we manage our budgets before budgeting apps were introduced people like to work on Excel or keep records in the diary where they enter and edit things manually.
Those days were not bad but it was time-consuming and a minor human mistake can cost more. But with budgeting apps, you can manage your budgets within a few minutes and can check whenever needed.
