đź’ˇ SaaS Idea: CardFirst Budget

Budgeting built for couples who put every transaction on credit cards. Real-time shared feed across multiple cards, smart deduping, split rules, payoff planning, and monthly category trends with net worth tracking.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

1. Problem & Proposed Solution

Couples who put 100 % of their spend on multiple credit cards struggle with:

  • Seeing a real-time combined feed across banks/networks (Amex + Chase + Apple Card, etc.)
  • Getting duplicate transactions (same Uber ride on both partners’ cards) out of reports
  • Quickly applying split rules (50/50, 70/30, tag as personal vs shared)
  • Deciding how much cash to keep vs. pay-off strategy for rewards-maximising card churn Existing apps (YNAB, Monarch, Honeydue, PocketGuard) support couples but treat cards like any other account; Reddit threads show manual work-arounds for duplicates and splits.

2. Evidence of Active Pain

Reddit /r/budget, /r/MonarchMoney, /r/ynab contain dozens of posts in the last 12 months:

  • “Budget app for people who put every transaction on a CC” (Apr 2024) – 125 comments, many saying nothing handles this well.
  • “Budgeting apps with auto-splitting of transactions” (Oct 2023)
  • “There has to be a better way to add all credit-card transactions?” (Aug 2025) These posts get answers like “I export to CSV and dedupe in Sheets” → clear friction.
