The real problem

Why Excel and other apps aren't working for you

If every 3 months you "start tracking your money again," the problem isn't you. It's the tool.

Too much friction

You open Excel, find the sheet, find the row, type. Three weeks in, you stop opening it. Classic.

Always "later tonight"

"I'll log it tonight." Spoiler: 48 hours later, half the small expenses are gone — and those are the ones that add up.

Manual categorization

Picking a category for every expense kills the habit. You end up with 500 rows under "Other" and zero useful conclusions.

The solution

3 steps. Nothing new to learn.

It's literally sending a WhatsApp message. You already know how to do that.

1

Type how you talk

"coffee $5", "uber 18 to work", "grocery $247". Lukrio gets your natural style.

FAQ

Reasonable questions

What is expense tracking?

It's the process of recording, categorizing and reviewing where your money goes, so you can make informed decisions. It isn't about blindly cutting costs — it's about getting real visibility first.

What's the best way to track expenses?

Whatever you'll actually do every day. For most people, a low-friction app beats spreadsheets and paper. Lukrio uses WhatsApp — the app you already have open — to eliminate that friction.

Does Excel work for personal expense tracking?

It works in theory, but in practice 8 out of 10 people abandon it between week 2 and week 4. The friction of opening the sheet, finding the row, and typing is enough to break the habit.

Does Lukrio connect to my bank?

No. Lukrio never asks for bank credentials. You tell it what you spend via WhatsApp (text, voice, photo, or PDF) and it records, categorizes, and totals.

How long does setup take?

Under 2 minutes. You sign up with your WhatsApp number, set a few categories, and you're ready to log your first expense.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, a free plan to start. The paid plan includes a 14-day trial with no credit card. See the pricing page for current plans.
