Failure 01
One wrong cell breaks the math
An inserted row or a bad paste throws off a total, and no one notices until the numbers stop adding up.
For real estate developers & construction teams
One place for your budget, invoices, and draws.
budgeted keeps your development budget current as invoices come in, commitments change, and draws go out, so you always know where the money stands. Drawn to spec for developers and construction teams, not spreadsheets.

The problem
A big budget shouldn’t live in a spreadsheet one wrong cell can break.
Linked tabs, version conflicts, invoices buried in email, draw prep that eats a week. The bigger the budget gets, the riskier the spreadsheet, and the harder it is to trust the number.
Failure 02
Invoices get lost in email
The backup for a line is a PDF buried in someone’s inbox or a deep folder. Finding it becomes its own job.
Failure 03
Too many versions to trust
Numbers keyed by hand across files mean no one is sure which spreadsheet is the current one.
Failure 04
Overruns show up too late
By the time a cost overrun appears in the spreadsheet, the contingency it should have come from is already gone.
With budgeted
The money side is just easier.
Your budget, invoices, and draws live in one place, so the current number is always one you can trust.

What you get
Everything for the money side of a project.
01
A budget that stays current
Every approved invoice and commitment updates the budget automatically, so your totals are always right.
02
Invoices on the right line
Upload a PDF and budgeted reads the vendor, amount, and date, then attaches it to the budget line it pays.
03
Draws and change orders, handled
Build draw packages from approved invoices and track change orders, without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
04
See where costs are heading
Track anticipated cost, exposures, and contingency so you catch overruns early, not at the next draw.
Why budgeted
Not a spreadsheet. Not a field tool. Not heavy enterprise software.

Security & trust
Real numbers deserve real security.
We’re a small, early team: budgeted is a genuinely new product, not a rebrand. We don’t have customer logos to show you yet. What we can show you is how we handle the numbers you put in.
01
Your data, isolated
Every account’s budgets, invoices, and documents are walled off from every other account at the database level, not just in the app.
02
Encrypted, never sold
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t sell it, and we don’t share it outside your organization.
03
Built for this, specifically
budgeted uses your vocabulary (draws, commitments, retainage, anticipated cost) because it’s purpose-built for developers and construction teams, not a generic budgeting tool with the nouns swapped.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is it really free?
Yes. Everything in budgeted is free while we’re in open beta, with up to 5 active projects. No credit card required to start.
What happens when paid plans launch?
We’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice before any paid plan starts, no surprise charges. Sign up during beta and you lock in founding-member pricing: 50% off your first year.
Is my data secure?
Every account’s data is isolated at the database level, encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold or shared outside your organization.
Does budgeted connect to my accounting software?
Yes, budgeted connects to QuickBooks Online (Essentials, Plus, or Advanced). Approved bills and invoices flow through so your budget stays current. Class tracking is available on Plus and Advanced. QuickBooks Online Simple Start is not supported, as it has no Accounts Payable (bills).
Do I need training?
No. budgeted is ready in a day and uses the vocabulary you already work in (draws, commitments, change orders), so there’s nothing new to learn.
Can my whole team use it?
Team features (multiple users, roles and permissions, and shared vendors) are coming soon on the Team plan. During beta, get started solo and invite the team when it lands.
