// EDITOR'S TAKE
Actual is the direct replacement: it is built around the same zero-based envelope method, is genuinely fast, and syncs across devices from a server you own. Maybe is the better choice if you care more about net worth, investments and accounts than about strict monthly budgeting, and financial-freedom sits between them but has far less momentum behind it.
