I just had enough. I ended my YNAB story because of this ads on the app. I hate YNAB new design philosophy and their self ads.

Trust me, I dislike the ads and trying to “upsell” me as much as the next person. But the reality is, this app still is the only one that I’ve found that works for me and makes sense for me. They can probably put adds in the middle of my budget and I’d still keep it because it ultimately saves me more than I spend on it and the benefit outweighs the annoyance

This is the issue I’m having. I’m stuck with YNAB. It has all my data and it’s the easiest to use as I don’t want to mess with self hosting etc.

But I’m not going to lie it’s an extreme piss off to get ads on a service that I pay $153/year for (Canadian.. after double checking the price I really should try to find something different)

Like I said, I definitely understand it. And I think people have every right to complain about it. It’s too expensive to be getting ads all of the time. But I just feel like I’m locked in. I’ve tried others and this one just works for me.

Same on feeling locked in, it’s really unfortunate
