Tiller review

Tiller is for the reader who searched for a budgeting app but actually likes their spreadsheet. Rather than replacing it, Tiller connects your banks and sends an automatic daily feed of transactions and balances into Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. You can start from the Foundation Template, use free community templates, or plug the feed into a sheet you built yourself. AutoCat applies categorization rules inside the spreadsheet, and the Hello, Money email summarizes the latest charges, transactions and balances each morning. Because everything lives in your own file, you keep your data even if you stop paying. Tiller also covers a solo business view of income, expenses and profit. The price is $99 a year after a 30-day free trial, and Tiller backs another 30 days with a full refund. The trade-off is effort: this is still spreadsheet work inside Sheets or Excel, and people who want ready-made screens will move faster with Monarch or Quicken Simplifi.
