Moving from Goodbudget: envelopes become categories.

Goodbudget is the other envelope app, so the move is natural: each envelope becomes a Budgetfold category and the transactions land under it. Goodbudget exports transactions only; its staff confirmed on the Goodbudget forum that envelope budgets have no export.

Full importer for Goodbudget's CSV (Date, Envelope, Account, Name, Notes, Amount). Checked on goodbudget.com/help ("How to Download Your Transaction History") and forums.goodbudget.com, 9 September 2026.

How to move your Goodbudget data

  1. Sign in at goodbudget.com on a computer.
  2. Open Transactions. Use the filters if you only want a date range.
  3. Click Export CSV, the link above the Transactions list.
  4. In Budgetfold: Import → upload the CSV. Envelopes appear as categories, accounts as accounts.
Start free and import

Price and plan comparison

Goodbudget has a free tier with limited envelopes and a paid Plus tier; check their current price. Budgetfold is free for the current month (2 accounts, 100 transactions, unlimited categories) and $39 a year for everything, with rollover, goals and a subscription tracker built in.

After the import

Your transactions land in the register with their accounts and categories. Open the current month, move Ready to assign into categories until it reads zero, and the envelopes start working from today. Press Find recurring charges on Bills & subscriptions and Budgetfold proposes your subscriptions from the history, with renewal dates and yearly cost. Everything you import can be exported again as a zip of CSVs at any time, on every plan.
