Every guide uses the same app. What changes is the setup, the examples and the limits worth knowing first.
A full budget with quests, XP and E-to-S ranks on top. Games get their own budget, with one subcategory per game.
Log every top-up and monthly pass in real money, find what you have already spent, and set one monthly gacha budget.
An independent, Solo Leveling–inspired System for your money: a daily gate of quests, six ranks and gold penalties.
Quick manual logging, instant XP feedback and one Safe-to-Spend number, with honest notes on what the app does not do.
There is no portfolio, cost-basis or market-value tracking. Reports cover the spending and income you log.
There is no tax set-aside, invoicing or business reporting.
Hunter Vault never connects to a bank. You log spending yourself or import a CSV.
The app is not directed at children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA).
If one of these is a dealbreaker, our budgeting app comparisons cover several apps that handle them, such as the bank-synced options in Monarch Money alternatives.
No. It's a full manual budgeting app for anyone: expenses, income, budgets, bills, debts and savings goals. The game layer of quests, XP and ranks just makes the habit easier to keep, and the guides above show how different people set it up.
Core budgeting is free and has no ads. The free tier covers up to 8 budgets, 3 recurring entries, 5 accounts, 3 debts and 2 savings goals. Hunter Elite is a one-time $15.99 upgrade that removes those limits. Budgeting never requires a subscription; the optional subscriptions are Hunter Pass (for the Huntee AI assistant and Smart Import from screenshots and PDFs) and cloud sync.
No. It never connects to a bank. You log spending yourself, set up recurring entries, or import a CSV you export from your bank, which is free and processed on your device. Your data stays on your device unless you turn on an online feature.
Download Hunter Vault free on iOS and Android. No account needed to start, no bank login, and logging earns XP toward your next rank.
