💳 Multi-Currency Subscription Payments (USD & EUR)

After supporting only GBP, as we aim to be truly global, we now support USD & EUR for subscription payments! If you have an existing active subscription and would like to switch currencies, simply hit reply, and I'd be happy to update it 😀

💰 [Limited time offer] Reduced Annual Plans

Pricing has been one of the most challenging aspects to nail so far. I wanted to strike a balance between making Lunch Flow as affordable as possible for everyone and ensuring it is sustainable to cover the underlying, expensive open banking integration costs.

The more I think about it, I'd rather have more people using Lunch Flow at fair prices than fewer people at higher margins, which is why, as a thank you for being early adopters for Lunch Flow, if you use less than 4 connections, you can now lower the quantity on the annual plans for a limited time, to get even more cost savings!

This is an area I’m always looking to improve, so if you have additional feedback here, I’m only a message away 😀

📅 Custom Sync Start Date

One of the most highly requested features - you can now choose when the sync starts from when connecting your bank account to Lunch Money.

No more being forced to sync from the beginning of time and needing to remove transactions or clean up duplicates 😀

✅ MX & Finicity Integration Out of Beta

After a lot of iteration and feedback, MX & Finicity integrations are now stable! well … as stable as can be 😅

With that, SimpleFIN and Stripe integrations are being moved to legacy status and will be deprecated soon, as both use MX / Finicity under the hood, so the coverage is overlapping with our direct integration; however, their API and support are far more limited.

The deprecation will help us keep Lunch Flow’s complexity in check and more easily improve (Lots of exciting features incoming, stay tuned!)

🔧 Other Improvements

Also, made numerous smaller improvements across the app, some examples are:

• Fixed some issues with Google Sheets transaction enrichment and auto categorisation - If you're still seeing 'Uncategorised' more often than you expect, let me know 😀

• Added more accurate account error indicators in the UI - So you can easily tell if any accounts are not actively syncing

• Prevent closing the new connection modal by clicking outside it - Which would reset the auth flow for some integrations

🧠 Top of Mind

Actively thinking currently about ways to grow Lunch Flow’s user base to be more sustainable, some options are:

1. Deeper integration with Lunch Money (Like automatic transaction categorisation, even for transactions not imported through Lunch Flow).

2. Build integrations with more destinations, be it other budgeting apps (like Sure, YNAB, Actual Budget, etc…), or more general apps (like Airtable, Notion, Exist, etc.).

3. Offer an API or MCP servers to allow people to easily build apps and workflows leveraging their bank data (similar to SimpleFin’s API).

If you have any thoughts or feedback on these points, or have other things you’d love Lunch Flow to do, please hit reply 😀 I’d love to hear it.
