Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I’m just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

    So I was using money manager ex for a long time. I’m not sure if it fits the FOSS label.

    While it took quite a lot of effort to setup and maintain, it was the only application I could find at the time that could let me model my costs into the future and allow me to identify whether any given large bill might impact my available cash flow negatively. I stopped using it because the it needed an atrocious amount of my time to actively track spending. When I gave up I was in the process of setting up some workflows that might facilitate importing the data from my bank more easily but it needed a complete revision to how I had set up the database and the work to standardise tagging of my bank data made me lose interest.

    The three you listed seem like they offer pretty similar functionality to MMEX, maybe with more features? I might give them a look in.
