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.
