The unlock
A dashboard tells you the past. Safe to Spend tells you now.
Aggregating accounts is solved. What isn't solved is putting a single, bills-aware, spendable number on both partners' lock screens the moment anything changes. That's the gap OneTruth Money fills.
The number, not the chart
Less time reading dashboards, more time knowing the one number that decides 'can I afford this?'
On the lock screen
The shared widget updates the moment a bill is paid — you don't have to open anything.
No ads. Data never sold.
We don't run ad trackers, and we never sell your data — there's nothing to sell, because the business model doesn't depend on it. Bank connections are read-only through Plaid.
Built for the household
Shared workspaces with roles, free for invited Members, so the whole household works from one truth.
Every OneTruth Money row above is a shipped capability. Other apps change their features often — check each app’s current site for the latest. We don’t publish star ratings until we have enough real App Store reviews to be honest about them.
Common questions
Good to know.
- Is OneTruth Money a good Monarch alternative?
- Yes — especially for anyone sharing money. Monarch is capable on its own, but OneTruth Money adds the thing that matters daily: the same Safe to Spend number on every phone in the household, updated the moment a bill is paid.
- How much does OneTruth Money cost?
- $14.99/month or $129/year, with a 7-day free trial for new yearly subscribers. One subscription covers the whole household — everyone you invite joins free as a Member. If you ever lapse, your data stays readable.
- Does OneTruth Money sell my data?
- No. We've never sold your data and we never will — no ad networks, no data brokers, no model trainers. That's locked in the architecture, not just the privacy policy.
