Allontas
A budgeting app that looks forward instead of backward — comparing grocery prices across stores and projecting how much cash you'll have left before you spend it, instead of just tracking what you already spent.

Description
Most budgeting apps tell you where your money went last month, after the fact — useful for spotting patterns, but not much help when you're standing in a grocery aisle wondering if you can afford a bigger shop this week. Allontas is built around the opposite idea: instead of analyzing past transactions, it tries to project forward, comparing grocery prices across multiple retailers and combining that with your bills and planned expenses to estimate your actual cash runway before you spend.
It connects to your bank account through Plaid in read-only mode (it can't move money), compares grocery prices across nine retailers including Walmart, Kroger and Publix, re-checks prices in real time, and layers in calendar-based event planning so a birthday party or holiday purchase gets factored into the forecast ahead of time rather than showing up as a surprise later. It's a single $8.99/month plan (or $89/year) with no tiers or add-ons, comes with a 30-day free trial requiring no card upfront, and is available on iOS and Android, billed through the App Store or Play Store.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you find yourself budgeting reactively — checking your balance after payday and hoping it lasts — Allontas's forward-looking cash-runway projection plus grocery price comparison is a genuinely different angle than most budgeting apps, worth the 30-day free trial to see if it fits how you actually think about money.
Against YNAB or Copilot Money, which are built around categorizing and reviewing past spending, Allontas's bet is that seeing tomorrow's cash position matters more than yesterday's transaction history — a reasonable argument, but one that depends on how disciplined you are about entering upcoming events and bills for the projection to stay accurate. Against dedicated grocery price-comparison apps like Flipp or Basket, which don't do budgeting at all, Allontas's combination of the two is the differentiator, though it means neither half is as deep as a single-purpose tool. At $8.99/month with a flat single-tier structure, it's priced in line with most budgeting subscriptions — the real question is whether proactive cash-flow forecasting is worth more to you than the transaction-categorization approach most competitors take.
