Monthly Budget Planner (Google Sheets) review
A $17.99 Google Sheets budget planner with income and expense tracking, automatic calculations and a dashboard, whose delivery note on the same form calls it a printable PDF and an ebook.
Worth a look
A budget spreadsheet with a dashboard for under twenty dollars is fair value, and the description avoids inflated promises. The concern is basic: the form cannot decide whether you are buying a Google Sheets file or a printable PDF, and gives no screenshots to settle it. That matters, because an automatic dashboard only exists in the spreadsheet. The seller, Book2Book, provides no identity, but the 60-day refund means you can check what actually arrives and return it if it is only a PDF.

Monthly Budget Planner (Google Sheets) at a glance
The Monthly Budget Planner is sold by the Digistore24 account Book2Book as a Google Sheets spreadsheet. The order form says it lets you plan monthly income, record and categorise expenses, see automatic calculations of monthly and yearly progress, view an interactive dashboard of spending, income and savings, and keep a record of previous months and years, with no complicated setup. The claims are modest and practical. The same form then closes with a delivery note saying your English printable PDF will arrive through the Digistore24 download vault and refers to the product as an ebook, which contradicts the Google Sheets description. Nothing explains how the spreadsheet is shared, whether you receive a copy link or a file, or whether it works in Excel. No screenshots are shown. The price is $17.99 plus US sales tax, $19.47 in total, once, with a 60-day refund. There is no sales page or legal notice.
