Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about STATERA

Understanding STATERA

What is STATERA?

STATERA is a financial tracking platform that helps you manage Commitments, Assets, budgets, Financial State, Trends, and Archives entirely through manual input. - You enter the Commitments and Assets you want to track - Set budgets and reminders for upcoming bills - View your Financial State, Trends, and Archives over time No bank connections. No external logins. Full control over what you track.

How is STATERA different from other budgeting apps?

Most budgeting apps rely on bank connections, transaction scraping, or credential access. STATERA is different by design: - No bank or credit card linking - No transaction scraping - No service login credentials - No third-party financial data brokers Everything is entered and managed by you.

Why doesn't STATERA connect to my bank or services?

Connecting to banks or services often requires sharing sensitive credentials and relying on third-party aggregators. STATERA avoids this entirely: - No credentials are shared - No external services are accessed - No hidden permissions are required This reduces privacy risk and increases transparency.

Features & Capabilities

What types of expenses can I track?

You can track any recurring or predictable expense, including: - Streaming and entertainment subscriptions - Utilities (electricity, water, internet, gas) - Insurance (auto, home, renters, health) - Memberships and clubs - Personal services (therapy, fitness, meal services) - Software and digital tools - Annual or irregular recurring payments If it repeats, it belongs in STATERA.

Is manual input accurate enough?

Manual input is often more accurate for recurring expenses because: - Subscriptions rarely change frequently - Automation can miscategorize transactions - Annual and irregular charges are easily missed by bank syncs STATERA focuses on intentional, predictable tracking rather than noisy transaction feeds.

Pricing & Business Model

Is STATERA free?

STATERA offers a Free tier that allows you to track up to 15 active Commitments without cost. Assets do not count toward this limit. STATERA Membership is available at $6.99/month or $54.99/year for unlimited active Commitments.

Why does STATERA have paid tiers?

Paid tiers allow STATERA to remain: - Ad-free - Privacy-respecting - Free from data monetization Rather than flooding the platform with ads that degrade the experience, paid plans fund development, infrastructure, and ongoing improvements. Paid enrollment supports the platform, not the selling of your data.

Privacy & Security

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. STATERA is built with privacy-first principles: - No bank connections - No credential storage - No third-party data sharing - No behavioral tracking Your data exists solely to support your experience within the platform.

Can STATERA administrators see my spending data?

Your financial records are restricted to your account through access controls. Platform administrators do not receive blanket access to your financial records through the application. Your commitments, assets, budgets, reminders, and snapshots are bound to your account and are not readable, editable, or deletable by other users or by an administrator acting through the normal application interface. Limited authorized access may occur through secured backend processes when required for support, security, legal compliance, or operation of the service. This is distinct from direct application access and is narrowly scoped to the operation being performed.
