1. Duck Software's Budget Tracker
Duck Software's Budget Tracker is one of the simpler tools on this list. This particular take on these tools doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles. What it does offer is a simple to use tool that will assist you in tracking your monthly spending by date and category. Not only will this give you an immediate glance into how your monthly budget is going, it will help you see the big picture, so you can develop a better budget. This tool offers custom fields, monthly print out, a solid help tool, and more.
