The Budgeting App That Actually Works for Students

Student money is lumpy: a loan lands, then nothing for months. Most budget apps assume a monthly salary. Algent just shows you where it went.

Why Students Need a Different Kind of Budget App

Student life doesn't fit the shape most budgeting apps expect. Spending is irregular, the budget is tight, and there's no steady pay cheque to divide into neat monthly envelopes. A loan arrives in a lump and has to stretch.

Apps designed for adults with a salary ask you to set monthly budgets per category and stick to them. For a student that's fiction. What actually helps is far simpler: knowing where the money already went, so the next decision is an informed one.

That's the whole job Algent does. No envelopes to maintain, no monthly plan to fail — just an honest picture of your spending.

Perfect for Student Life

Log the things a student week is actually made of, in the words you'd use:

• See how much a week goes on coffee, food, transport and nights out — each as its own category.
• Ask the AI assistant "how much did I spend on food this month?" and get a straight answer.
• Ask "how can I save more?" and it explains where the room is — without lecturing you.

Less Than a Coffee Per Month

Algent is £2.99 a month — less than a single flat white — with the first 30 days free. No contract, no student-finance-style small print, and you can cancel from your phone whenever you want.
