Description

Juggling several bank accounts and currencies in a spreadsheet gets messy fast, and most budgeting apps that handle multi-currency well charge a monthly fee and want access to your bank logins. BudgetBee is built for people who want that multi-account, multi-currency tracking without either cost.

BudgetBee is an open-source, self-hosted personal finance manager, deployed via Docker with a React frontend and Laravel backend. It tracks transactions and net worth across multiple accounts, supports multi-currency budgets, generates recurring/future expense forecasts, and produces interactive reports and charts. It supports multiple users on one install and offers a REST API with API-key security for integrations, plus data import from Excel or JSON files. It's under active, fast-moving development — the maintainers are explicit that it's pre-v1.0 and not yet recommended as your sole financial record.

💬 Our review

The short version: BudgetBee is a promising, actively-developed self-hosted budgeting tool with real multi-currency and multi-account support, but it's early enough that the team itself tells you not to bet your only financial record on it yet.

The multi-currency handling and multi-account net worth view are the standout features — most free self-hosted finance tools handle a single currency cleanly and treat multi-currency as an afterthought. The REST API is also a nice touch for anyone who wants to script imports or connect it to other tools.

The honest caveat, straight from the maintainers: expect bugs and breaking changes before v1.0. That's not a dealbreaker for a self-hoster comfortable with occasional migrations, but it does mean keeping a backup of your data elsewhere until it stabilizes. For multi-currency households wanting a free, self-hosted option and comfortable with some rough edges, it's worth trying; for something more battle-tested today, Firefly III has a longer stability track record.
