Why we built GetGuac

Your money, made clear.

Most money apps want you to link your bank, watch ads, or chase points for spending more. We wanted the opposite: a friendly sidekick that simply helps everyday people understand their own spending and keep more of it.

So we built GetGuac. Snap a receipt and Guac-AI reads every line, scores how you’re spending, catches the fees and subscriptions you forgot about, tracks the refunds you’re owed, and quietly finds you a better price. It’s the kind of help a sharp friend who’s great with money would give you — without the judgment.

It’s free, it’s private, and it’s on your side. Because the money you save isn’t for us — it’s for your retirement, your kids’ school, an emergency fund, or whatever matters most to you.

Clarity over guilt

We show you where your money goes in plain language. No lectures, no shame — just an honest, useful picture.

Privacy by default

No bank login required, no data selling, row-level security on every record. Your money is nobody’s business but yours.

Your money, not points

We don’t profit from your spending. GetGuac helps you keep more of what you already earned, for the things that matter to you.

How GetGuac makes money

GetGuac is free to use, and we think you deserve to know how a free product pays its bills. Our answer is boring on purpose: the site shows ordinary advertising, and members who want an ad-free experience can pay for an optional premium upgrade. That's it.

What we don't do matters more. We never sell your data. We don't require a bank login, so there are no credentials to leak and no transaction feed to monetize. We don't take a cut of anything you buy, and we don't run a points program that quietly rewards you for spending more. The savings GetGuac finds — a refund you're owed, a subscription you forgot, a better price on something you were buying anyway — go to you, because it was your money to begin with.

Who we are

GetGuac is built by Yathis Corporation, an independent software company. We are a small team, which is why the product feels the way it does: one design language, one privacy policy we can actually explain, and features that exist because a real person on the team wanted them — the receipt scanner because typing in totals never lasts past week two, the refund tracker because stores count on you forgetting, and the Guac Arcade because looking at your spending shouldn't be the only reason to open a money app.

How we write our guides

Our money guides are written and reviewed by the GetGuac team, dated so you can see when they were last updated, and paired with free calculators so you can run your own numbers instead of taking ours. They are educational, not financial advice: we explain how things like 401(k) matches, high-yield savings, and debt-payoff methods work, and we leave the decisions to you. If we ever get something wrong, tell us and we'll fix it and update the date.
