Frequently asked questions
What is the best EveryDollar alternative?
Cadence is a strong EveryDollar alternative for people who want flexible budgeting without the Baby Steps method - plus net worth, goals and reporting in one app, across Canada and the USA on iOS, Android and web.
Does EveryDollar work in Canada?
EveryDollar’s paid features, including bank connection, are not available outside the United States. Cadence works in both Canada and the USA, with support for Canadian account types like TFSA, RRSP and FHSA.
Is Cadence cheaper than EveryDollar Premium?
Yes. Cadence plans start at $2.49 CAD / $1.99 USD per month, while EveryDollar Premium is $17.99 USD per month or $79.99 USD per year. And with Cadence every feature is on every plan - only optional bank syncing differs between tiers.
Do I have to follow the Ramsey Baby Steps to use Cadence?
No. EveryDollar is built around Ramsey’s zero-based, Baby Steps method. Cadence gives you flexible budgets, including rollover, so you can budget as loosely or as strictly as you like.
Does Cadence track net worth and multiple currencies?
Yes. Cadence tracks your full net worth and supports CAD and USD together with a display currency of your choice. EveryDollar is focused on the monthly budget, with limited net worth tracking and no multi-currency support.
Can I use Cadence without connecting a bank?
Yes. Like EveryDollar’s free tier, Cadence works fully by hand - but unlike EveryDollar, features such as reporting and net worth are not locked behind a premium tier. Bank syncing is optional on the Cadence+ and Premium plans.
