LemSubs vs Spendee
Multi-currency budgeting app with shared wallets — household budget, not subscription specialist
Spendee is a popular multi-currency budgeting app with shared wallets — strong for travellers, expats, and couples splitting bills across borders. Subscriptions are a category. LemSubs is the subscription specialist with vendor profiles, renewal alerts, and a household workspace.
Agency retainers, lawyer fees, and household subs live in the same product, separated by workspace. The retainers card on the dashboard surfaces service spend so it isn't lost in the SaaS list. Spendee handles the budget; LemSubs handles the recurring portfolio.
Verified May 2026: Spendee Premium lists at $14.99/month for full multi-currency wallets, while subscriptions still surface as a transaction category — not a portfolio with renewal alerts.

Frequently asked questions
Do they overlap?
Lightly — Spendee shows subs as a category, LemSubs gives them a portfolio. Use both.
Does Spendee track subscriptions automatically?
Spendee tags recurring transactions from your bank feed, but it does not surface renewal dates or flag overpayments. LemSubs treats every subscription as a first-class line with its own renewal calendar.
Can I use Spendee and LemSubs together?
Yes — keep Spendee for the shared wallet and category budget, and let LemSubs own the renewal calendar, vendor profiles, and overpayment flags.
