About FinRant

In our busy everyday lives we don’t always get enough opportunity or time to keep a track of all our day-to-day expenditures. Due to this we sometimes end up spending much more than we intend to and fail to stick to our monthly budgets.

FinRant is an app that helps you to efficiently plan all your expenses ahead of time and also keep tabs on how much you are spending in a specific category by setting monthly budgets. You can create various plans to organise your expenses separately, and also invite other users to join those plans in order to share expenses or even safely transfer money within the app.

• Simple and fast way to record expenses.
• Categorise your expenses under different plans to track them efficiently.
• Collaborate with other members to manage shared expenses at one place.
• Set budgets and get insights from the various visual charts composed of your expense data.
• Settle your dues or transfer money to other plan members directly from our secured in-app payment gateway.
