How to Market a Budgeting App Without Fake Financial Advice

A budgeting app records and sorts money. It does not know someone's debts, taxes, or rent. The posts should stay inside that job.

What you can say

• "See the month before the month is over."
• "The subscriptions you forgot are still charging you."
• "A grocery number and a rent number, in two different piles."
• "The week you get paid, planned on Sunday."

What you should not say

• That the app will make them debt-free
• A specific return, savings rate, or "people who budget save $X"
• Advice about investing, taxes, or which debt to pay first, unless you are qualified and willing to own it
• Another person's screenshot of their bank balance

If a line would embarrass you in front of a financial counselor, cut it.

A slideshow that stays honest

Slide one is a moment: "You got paid. The month is already spoken for." Slide two is one action: list rent, food, and transport before anything fun. Slide three is the app holding those three numbers. You never needed a fake net-worth story.
