Paid by SMS and email?

Most banks send both for one payment. Spendly records it once.

Moving money between your own accounts?

Both alerts are combined into one transfer, not counted as spending.

Money sent to Zerodha or Groww?

Counted as investing, not spending.

💡 Start with one account — most people see their first automatic transaction within a day.

Questions

Can I track UPI payments from GPay, PhonePe and Paytm in one place?

Yes. Every UPI payment debits your bank account, and your bank sends an alert for it. Spendly reads those alerts, so it does not matter which UPI app you used.

Does Spendly need my UPI PIN or bank login?

No. It never asks for a PIN, password or netbanking login. Gmail access is read-only and limited to bank alert emails.

What if a payment is put in the wrong category?

Change it once — Spendly remembers your choice for that payee from then on.

Is automatic tracking free?

Tracking by hand is free forever. Reading bank emails and SMS automatically is part of Spendly Premium.
