Is VRITTI really free?

Yes — VRITTI’s free tier is free forever. 40 transactions a month, real-time P&L with a 30-day history, all crisis challenges, the first 5 Academy lessons, and 5 AI questions a day. No credit card. No trial-that-converts-silently. If you’re in financial crisis, everything you need to stabilise is free.

How is VRITTI different from other finance apps?

Every other finance app starts with your numbers. VRITTI starts with how you feel about your numbers. VRITTI asks one question before you see a single transaction — and your answer reshapes everything: which challenges appear, how the app talks to you, what success looks like for you. VRITTI was built for the 80% of people that fintech forgot.

What is the best finance app for money anxiety?

VRITTI was built specifically for people with money anxiety — the anxious, the avoidant, the starting-over. It is the first personal finance app with emotional onboarding, a dedicated Crisis mode, a shame-free challenge system, and language that never punishes you for looking away.

Is VRITTI a Mint alternative?

Yes. Mint was discontinued by Intuit on March 23, 2024. VRITTI is a Canadian-built alternative designed for people with financial anxiety, with emotional onboarding, a free-forever tier, 16 Academy modules, and real CRA tax support (HST/GST/QST). Unlike Mint, VRITTI was built around the emotional relationship with money — not just the numbers.

How does VRITTI compare to YNAB?

What if I am in a really bad financial situation?

Then VRITTI was built for you specifically. The Crisis challenge category, the debt-recovery Academy modules, and the one-day "Just Look" challenge are all designed for people who are stabilising. No judgment, no "you should have done this sooner." The crisis tier is free forever.

Does VRITTI work for couples?

Yes — for the conversation. VRITTI has dedicated couples challenges like the seven-day Money Date, and the "Money Between Us" Academy module to help partners stop having the same argument. A shared two-person account is not in the app today; the goal is a shared language, not a shared password.

Direct read-only bank connections are planned; VRITTI will say so plainly the day they are live.

Does VRITTI have an iPhone app?

Yes. VRITTI ships on iOS 16+ and Android 12+. Desktop access is planned for 2026. The app is designed mobile-first because that is where financial anxiety most commonly hits — a notification, a statement, a number that feels too heavy.

What does VRITTI mean?
