FinancialAha! Spreadsheets - Plan your finances in a spreadsheet you fully control.
by•
Budgeting apps want your bank login, charge you yearly and vanish when they shut down (RIP Mint).
FinancialAha is different. Beautiful Google Sheets templates for financial planning where your data stays in your Google account and we never see it.
Pay a fair price once, and then use forever. No subscriptions. No data harvesting, with full control to customize everything.
For privacy-conscious people tired of giving apps their bank passwords, and spreadsheet lovers who want powerful templates.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Stefan, and I built FinancialAha after getting frustrated with the budgeting app landscape.
Every app wanted my bank login & they charge $79-109/year. When Mint shut down, lots of people lost years of financial history overnight. I thought: why can't financial planning just live in a spreadsheet I own?
So I built these spreadsheet templates that are designed to be:
- Private: your data never leaves your Google account
- Permanent: pay once, use forever, export anytime
- Powerful: real formulas, real projections, real insights
The Financial Planning template is my flagship. It tracks all your assets, projects your net worth growth, and helps you plan for retirement. It's what I personally use to manage my own finances.
I'd love your feedback:
- What features would make these more useful?
- What other templates would you want?
- Any privacy concerns I should address better?
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
P.S. Happy to answer any questions about the templates or how they work.
I’ve actually used these spreadsheets, and they’ve been a genuine help. What I like most is that everything is clear, transparent, and fully under your control, no hidden logic, no forced subscriptions, no need to connect bank accounts. Just solid formulas that make sense and are easy to adapt to your own situation.
You can tell this was built by people who care about how it’s used in real life, not just how it looks. It’s practical, flexible, and something you can keep improving over time.
@caroline_morgan88 Happy to hear that it helps you!

What I love about this project: customers in 40+ countries, zero advertising spend. Just useful templates that people recommend to friends.
We spent a lot of time making the formulas readable and customizable. It’s your spreadsheet - you should be able to tweak anything without breaking it.
Happy to answer any technical questions!
Nice product and the privacy angle is spot on. Getting people to trust you with financial data is always tough, and this solves it in quite an interesting way. I never even thought of selling a template for google sheets as a way to productize something! Question - how are updates to the template handled?
