Pennies and Pennies+ are two separate apps. Pennies is the original, built for budgeting on your own. Pennies+ is the newer app, built so a whole household can budget in one place. You can use either, or both.

Which should I get?
If you budget alone and like that Pennies asks nothing of you, no account and no bank connection, stay with Pennies. If you want a partner, family or flatmates in the same budget, seeing the same number update as it is spent, get Pennies+.
Already on Pennies and curious? Pennies+ imports your budgets and history in one tap, and Pennies keeps working exactly as it does today.
