Question 1

What does Brightly Budget help me manage?

Accepted Answer

Brightly keeps accounts, transactions, category budgets, saving goals, debts, recurring transactions, and spending statistics in one place. The mobile app is designed around the monthly decisions that connect those tools.

Question 2

How does the AI assistant use my data?

Accepted Answer

The assistant can use the transactions, budgets, goals, debts, and recurring activity available in your Brightly account to give your question relevant context. Its responses are informational and may be incomplete; they are not professional financial advice.

Question 3

How does receipt scanning work?

Accepted Answer

Take a photo or choose a receipt image. Brightly extracts details such as the merchant, date, total, and currency, then creates a draft with suggested category and account information. You can edit the draft before saving it.

Question 4

Does Brightly connect to my bank automatically?

Accepted Answer

Brightly currently uses manual entry and receipt-assisted entry, so you decide what financial information to add. Automatic bank sync is described in current product materials as a future, optional feature rather than a feature available today.

Question 5

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free includes the core tracking experience, a monthly AI allowance, limited receipt scans, plan limits for budgets, goals, and debts, and current-month CSV export. Pro removes the budget, goal, debt, and receipt-scan limits, adds AI insights, expands AI usage, enables full CSV export, and includes priority support.

Question 6

Can I use Brightly on the web?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brightly has a companion web app for account access and desktop use. The complete experience—including receipt capture and the AI assistant—is centered on the iOS and Android apps.

Question 7

How are Pro subscriptions managed?

Accepted Answer

Mobile subscriptions are purchased and managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Store pricing, trial eligibility, renewal, cancellation, and refund rules are shown by the platform before purchase.

Question 8

Can I export or delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Brightly supports CSV export, and the product materials state that you can delete your account. Brightly also states that it does not sell your personal data. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
