How does editing this month’s plan affect past and future months?
Each month is its own special plan, built off the previous month’s plan. Editing a month won’t change past months. Let’s give an example. Say you were spending $200 on car gas for January through March, and in April gas spikes and you’re now paying $275, we want you to be able to adjust April, […]

Update: We were able to get the site up not too long after we posted this. (We don’t want you thinking the site’s still down!) Many of you have probably already seen a few tweets from us about some downtime we’re having today. I wanted to post a quick note here for those of you […]
Pricing Changes for PearBudget
Just a quick announcement regarding PearBudget pricing. These types of notes are never fun to write. I’ll start off with the good news, then. If you currently have an account with PearBudget, your subscription price will not be changing! You signed on at a certain price point ($3/month or $30/year), and we are going to […]
Skype with us
We know that, sometimes, e-mail doesn’t cut it. A few days ago, I gave you my cell number, to call if you have questions that are best served by phone. There are also times when being able to share your screen in real-time is important, or when you might otherwise need to do a video […]
Setting up 2011 (part 2)

That’s my number. (804) 814-2064. It’s my cell. Like, the number Sarah uses to tell me to pick up bread when I’m in town. It’s also, now, the number you can use to reach me. I want to make sure that if you have questions, or if there’s anything else I can help you with, […]

Transitioning to 2011 (info soon!)
We’ve gotten a few e-mails from people asking about transitioning from 2010 to 2011. Lots of really good questions. can I start 2011 with a clean slate? will my balances carry over what if I have categories I only needed in 2010, but not in 2011? We’re working on some code to make this transition […]
What’s it worth to you?
In a recent interview, we were asked, “how do you keep PearBudget afloat in a world of free apps?” It’s a good question. After all, people using PearBudget are interested in saving money, right? So why would they pay money, when there are free options out there? The short answer is this: the return on […]
Database Cleanup
In an effort to speed up the site, we’re going to be cleaning out some old, unused accounts from the database. These are accounts where the owners created a trial account, used it for the free month, and then never signed up. Accordingly, I expect that nobody in the world will be missing these accounts […]
