[...] My first answer for simple tracking like this is always excel. (we don’t need an app from EVERYTHING) But there’s another little web 2.0 app that I’ve tried out called billQ – The easiest way to keep track of your bills – New Version Coming Soon which is currently in beta – but it allows you to split bills between roomates or friends. It’s a pretty slick little app – but it is pretty limited to simple transactions and tracking. I did a review on it a while back: Product Review: billQ at BeancounterBlog.com [...]

Nick -

Can’t wait for the updates. Be sure to send me an email or something and I’ll be sure to post more reviews as you keep adding to the “suite.” Looks very promising though if you can do for the other pieces what you did to billQ. Good luck!

Hey Jason,
Thanks for the review. Your conclusions are right on. We designed this for someone wanting a simple solution for tracking bills. Someone who doesnt find simplicity in what Quicken or Microsoft Money does. It is not for everyone, but either is Quicken. Another thing is that billQ is web-based, which can be a deciding factor for many.

Also, we do plan on expanding this app into more of a “suite” that will allow people to easily budget and track their money. But we need to do this a step at a time to ensure we get each part right. Right now it is a single tool, we plan to make it more of a complete financial tool chest.

Thanks again for taking time to check out the product. Keep up the great work on this blog as well, I actually read it often.
