Features

AI-powered marketing budget management

AI budget tracker

Ask anything about your budget

Just type a question like you'd ask a colleague. "How much are we spending on social media?" or "What's our total paid media budget for Q1?" Budget Buddy searches across all your line items and returns exact numbers — no rounding, no guessing.

AI budget planning

Plan and build your budget with conversation

Need to add a new campaign? Just say "Add a TikTok Ads line item to Paid Media with $5,000/month for Q1." Budget Buddy confirms the details, creates the line item, and sets the values — all in one step.

Marketing budget tracking

Sync actuals in no time

Stop updating spend line by line. Tell Budget Buddy what changed and it writes the numbers for you — across dozens of line items in a single step. Month-end reconciliation that used to take an hour now takes a single prompt.

Marketing spend optimization

Spot overspending before it's a problem

Budget Buddy compares your actuals against planned amounts across every line item, category, and your total budget.
