About Expenselizer

Expenselizer is an expense management web app that pairs a dashboard with a Telegram bot. After connecting a Telegram account, you log an expense by sending a message, and the bot records and categorizes it, so the spending can be reviewed later as reports on the dashboard.

The dashboard visualizes spending patterns, and updates sync in real time across devices. The site says data is encrypted and not sold. Basic and Pro plans differ by limits: Basic allows up to 250 expenses a month, one month of history and up to 10 categories, while Pro offers unlimited expenses, advanced analytics and trends, full expense history and up to 100 categories.

Paid plans start with a 7-day free trial and can be cancelled at any time. The app positions itself as a way to avoid opening several apps just to record what you spent, and the site includes a FAQ covering the free tier, how the Telegram link works, data security and cancellation.
