The Account screen
One budget, your whole household. This screen manages who's in, what they can do, how the app looks, what it costs, and what's connected.
Household name and seats
Click the name to change it. The seat counter shows how many of the 5 logins (you plus four) are in use — members and pending invites both hold a seat.
Five is enough for a family and too few for a dorm. That's on purpose.
Members and roles
Every member sees the same budget, live. Roles decide who can change it:
- admin — the owner. Everything, plus managing members, invites, and billing.
- editor — full budgeting: assign, move, categorize, connect banks.
- viewer — sees everything, changes nothing. A 👁 View only badge shows in their header, and edit controls stay out of their way. Good for the partner who wants the picture without the homework — or the teenager you're teaching.
Admins change roles with the dropdown, or Remove a member. A removed member keeps nothing; next sign-in they start a budget of their own.
Inviting someone
Two ways, both from here:
- Invite by email — enter their address and a role. Nothing is emailed yet: use Copy link on the pending invite and send it yourself. When they sign in with that email — Google button or password, either way — they land in your budget. Type the email carefully — the match is exact.
- Invite link — generate a link and send it however you like. Whoever opens it and signs in, joins.
Pending invites can be revoked any time before they're used.
The Theme card
A budget you look at every day should be a place you like being. The Theme card holds six looks, each built around one of the SkrillaPlan logos. Click a tile and the whole app retints on the spot — palette and header logo together.
- Classic — the original. Typewriter and money clip.
- Art Deco — black and gold.
- Emblem — brass crest.
- Pixel — arcade gold on purple.
- Bricks — toy-box primary colors.
- Skate Punk — slime green and grip tape.
The theme belongs to the household — editors and admins can switch it, and the switch shows up in the activity feed ("Switched the theme to Pixel"). The ☀️/🌙 toggle in the header is a different knob: that one is yours, per device, and works with every theme. The theme picks the colors' character; light or dark picks how bright the room is.
Your pick sticks — across reloads, across devices, with no flash of the old look.
The Emoji card
Three icon sets feed the category icon picker: Native (your device's own emoji), OpenMoji, and Fluent. The checkboxes here turn each set's tab on or off for the whole household. All three start on.
Turning a set off shapes the picker, never the data — icons already chosen keep showing everywhere they always did. Editors and admins can toggle. The picker itself lives on the Categories screen.
Billing
One plan, everything in it: $9.99/mo or $79/yr — annual is four months free. No tiers, no feature ransom. The full picture lives at skrillaplan.com/pricing.
The Billing card shows where your household stands:
- Alpha — free while SkrillaPlan is in alpha, with at least 30 days' notice before that ever changes. Early-subscribe buttons are there if you want to back the work now.
- Founding household 🏆 — lifetime free. A gift, and it stays given.
- Subscribed (or on a trial) — your plan, your renewal date, and a Manage billing button.
- Payment problem — a warning and a Fix payment button. You keep full access for 14 days while you sort it out.
- Ended — a read-only note and buttons to come back.
Worth knowing:
- Only the admin sees the buttons. Editors and viewers see the status.
- Checkout and card management happen on Stripe's hosted pages — your card number never touches SkrillaPlan. Promo codes work at checkout.
- Manage billing opens Stripe's portal: change the card, switch plans, cancel. Cancelling is as easy as subscribing was.
- If a subscription lapses, the budget turns read-only. You can still see and export every byte of your data, forever. Nobody is ever locked out of their own numbers.
Integrations
🧾 Gmail receipt matching (early access) — connect your Gmail and SkrillaPlan reads only Amazon order-confirmation emails, matching them to card charges by amount. "Amazon $97.75" becomes the thing you actually bought.
- Off by default. The household toggle turns the feature on; then each member connects their own mailbox with Connect my Gmail.
- During early access Google re-asks for permission about weekly — a reconnect needed note appears when it's time.
- Disconnect any time. Connecting is always per-person, never automatic.
- Full guide — including the five-minute setup if you don't use Gmail: Receipt matching.
