Bajet vs Buckets

Bajet Home Horizon is a free, open-source Malaysian financial planning tool available on the web. It uses take-home income, monthly commitments, and savings goals to show how financial changes may accumulate and estimate when a savings target could be reached. The tool is intended for longer-range planning rather than daily transaction logging or category sorting. Its local context includes RM, EPF, and Malaysian property prices. A home-buying simulator compares purchasing a first home now with waiting, using savings growth, mortgage calculations, and local prices. Bajet says accounts are unnecessary, data remains in the browser, and there is no cloud storage or upsell. The listed Home Horizon plan costs nothing. Scenario planning is supported, but there is no free trial because the product is already offered as a free plan.

Buckets is budgeting software for tracking bills and managing personal finances. It includes budgeting tools, bill tracking, account syncing and report export. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, with desktop and mobile applications. The listed price is $64 as a one-time payment, with no monthly subscription fee. A free trial is available for as long as needed to decide whether it suits you, but the purchase is not refundable. Finances stay on the user's computer, and users control their data. Bank sync options include free methods, private macros, file imports and SimpleFIN Bridge. One license covers the purchaser and immediate family members in the same home, and can be used on any number of eligible computers. Support is available through a chat bubble, and the software includes budgeting videos. Buckets is published by One Part Rain, LLC, which is testing Buckets by the Loaf pricing in some countries.
