💡 SaaS Idea: Couples’ Real-Time Card-Transaction Budgeter

A personal finance/budgeting app focused on couples who put every expense on credit cards. It syncs multiple card feeds instantly (Plaid/Finicity), auto-categorizes, and shows joint monthly category trends & net-worth snapshots. Inspired by multiple Reddit posts asking “is there an app for couples budgeting w/ visibility into each other’s card transactions?”. Monetize via freemium + $5-10/mo premium.

Platform: mobile

Why it's a good idea?

Posts have dozens of comments and upvotes, indicating unsolved pain.
