Spendr Alternative: What to Use Now That Spendr Was Acquired (2026)
Spendr made money tracking in WhatsApp simple: text what you spent, and it kept count. In 2026 its website says the product has been acquired and is "moving forward as part of another organization". If you relied on it, or were about to try it, you need a replacement that will still be here next year.
What happened to Spendr?
Spendr was an AI money assistant for WhatsApp, focused on India. Its site now carries an acquisition notice instead of product details, and it is no longer being developed as its own product. Before you rely on it, check whether your data can still be exported.
What to look for in a replacement
If Spendr worked for you, these are the things worth keeping:
- Logging in WhatsApp, so you don't have to open another app.
- Voice notes and photos, not just text.
- Budgets that warn you before you overspend, not after.
- Export, so you're never locked in again.
- A company with a paid plan, so the product has a way to stay alive.
Track expenses in seconds on WhatsApp
POQT automatically categorizes everything for you.
How POQT compares
POQT is a finance assistant that works entirely in WhatsApp, in any country and currency.
- Logging: text (
"lunch 250"), voice notes, and photos of receipts or payment screenshots. Several expenses fit in one message. - Budgets:
"Set a 10,000 budget for food", with an alert when you reach 80%. - Beyond logging: income, credit cards with due dates, recurring bills, savings goals and reminders.
- Questions:
"How much did I spend on food this month?"gets a direct answer. - Export: Excel, CSV or PDF, from the chat or from the web dashboard.
- Price: 7-day free trial, then $4/month or $29/year.
POQT doesn't split bills between friends. If that's the part of Spendr you'll miss most, look at a dedicated bill-splitting tool as well.
Switching takes two minutes
- Export whatever you can from Spendr while it's still available.
- Start the POQT trial at poqt.cloud.
- Tap Open WhatsApp on the confirmation page and send
"Hi". - Log today's first expense and set one budget.
You don't need to import old data to start: a clean month of tracking tells you more than a messy history.
