all I saw was pricing [...] can you really blame me?

I mean I really can. They don't have any paid option so you definitely didn't see any pricing. They only have a big open source message:

I don’t know where you got that, but this is what I get clicking that first link you posted:

Actualbudget.com =/= actualbudget.org

Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.

I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)

Yeah I think he just shared the .com domain and wasn’t thinking about it/aware which is why he edited his comment and just linked to the GitHub page.

It’s really annoying, because the .com address is the top result on Google too when you search for Actual Budget.

Try clicking either of those links.

Regardless, this is a thread about self-hosted open-source budgeting, which is why I linked to Actual Budget. I have updated the first post to be the Github link instead to prevent confusion.
