OpenBudget (openbudget.sh) connects bank accounts, cards and investments through Plaid to AI agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes and OpenClaw, so users can ask about spending, budgets and trends in their own words. It also syncs transactions to Google Sheets and Excel and gives the AI budgeting tools: categorization rules, splitting mixed purchases, card and loan tracking, and scheduled check-ins. It cannot move money.

Revenue claim
MRR $1,362; $2,879 last 30 days; all-time $12,658; 194 active subscriptions (as of Oct 29, 2026)

TrustMRR: revenue verified via Stripe API key, last synced Oct 29, 2026 (11:25 UTC) (re-checked live at merge Oct 29, 2026: MRR $1,362, 194 active subscriptions; matches the curator snapshot)

Receipt: trustmrr.com, www.openbudget.sh

Risks: Not solo as run: TrustMRR lists a 2–5 person team. 30-day revenue fell 10.1% even as MRR grew 20.5%, so annual-plan timing makes monthly cash lumpy. At $5/mo, Plaid's per-connection fees and support take a big share of each subscription, and handling bank data needs real security work and Plaid production approval (suggested).
