I have been using the self-hosted ActualBudget for ~6 months and found it mostly perfect. The mobile version of the site is not complete but it's at least usable for managing transactions. The only drawback is no user accounts, but you can have multiple budgets.

I was originally on YNAB4, and then financier.io for ~2 years.

I've being using YNAB4 for about 10yrs now. But I miss a mobile version to report daily expenses.

Do you see any major drawback comparing to YNAB4?

[mdhowle]

I haven't encountered any major drawbacks. The reporting is a bit lacking. ActualBudget has simple Net Worth and Cash Flow charts.

Other than that, it has all the features of YNAB4 I can recall.

I also switched from YNAB4 to ActualBudget about 6 months ago. I'm hosting it on a Raspberry pi in my network. Overall it's working great!

How do you get transactions into ActualBudget? Do you run a manual import job at a set cadence?

There is some experimental work being done with SimpleFIN integration[1] for US banks but I can't comment on how well that works.

Personally, I add each transaction manually. It allows me to stay on top of my budget.
