What is included in Alfie Basic? — On Apple, one active manual budget and the complete approved Basic loop are free forever.
How does the Apple Premium trial work? — Apple determines whether a subscriber may receive a 14-day introductory offer on monthly or yearly Premium.
Can I sync Alfie between Apple and Android? — No. Data, purchases, accounts, and migration do not cross platforms.
How does Android sync work? — Android is coming soon; local-only use remains available and optional Drive app-data sync stays on Android.
Does Alfie connect to my bank? — No. Alfie never asks for bank logins and never uses Plaid.
Does Alfie work offline? — Yes. No internet connection is needed to build or use your budget.
Where is my budget data stored? — On device. Apple may use private iCloud; Android may use optional Android-only Drive app data. Never on Alfie servers.
Does Alfie use AI? — No. Alfie is rules-based, and nothing is sent to an AI model.
