Why Paisa Tracker

Stop guessing where your salary went

Manual expense tracking fails because it's manual. Paisa Tracker just… does it.

Without it
  • Typing every expense into an app — until you forget
  • Digging through statements to see where money went
  • Budgets you set once and never track
  • No idea you overspent until the money's gone
With Paisa Tracker
  • Every transaction logged the moment your bank SMS arrives
  • Auto-categorized spending, merchants, and trends
  • Live budgets and burn-rate that actually warn you in time
  • Clear monthly insights — with zero manual entry
What it does

Everything about your money, in one calm place

No receipts to snap, no rows to type. Paisa Tracker does the work the second a transaction happens.

Automatic tracking

The moment a debit or credit SMS arrives, it's logged, categorized, and added to your dashboard. Manual entry is optional, never required.

📈

Smart insights

Spending trends, top merchants, category breakdowns, your monthly burn rate, and a "money personality" — all computed for you.

🎯

Budgets & burn rate

How it works

1

Install the app

Download from this page and install — a quick one-time setup (full guide below).

2

Allow SMS access

Grant permission so the app can read your bank transaction alerts. That's the only source it reads.

3

Watch it fill in

Your transactions appear automatically — sorted, categorized, and ready to explore.

Transparency first

What Paisa Tracker reads — and what it ignores

SMS access is powerful, so here's exactly how it's used. Nothing hidden.

What it reads

  • Bank transaction alerts only — the debit/credit SMS your bank sends after a payment.
  • The amount, merchant, date, and account from those alerts — to log your spending.

What it ignores

  • Personal messages & chats — filtered out on your device, never processed.
  • OTPs & verification codes — explicitly excluded.
  • Promotional & marketing SMS — rejected automatically.
  • "Will be debited" reminders — only completed transactions count.
🔐
EncryptedYour transaction data is stored with AES-256 encryption.

“Why does it need SMS access?”

Banks send an SMS for every transaction. Paisa Tracker reads those alerts so it can log your spending the instant it happens — with no manual entry.

“Why isn't it on the Play Store?”

Google restricts apps that read SMS. Because reading your bank alerts is the whole point, we distribute the app directly from this site instead — and we're upfront about exactly what's read.

Get started

Download & install

Paisa Tracker installs directly (not via the Play Store), so there are a couple of extra taps the first time. It takes about 30 seconds.

Please follow the steps below — the app won't install without them.

Because it installs from outside the Play Store, Android shows a couple of security prompts (and Google Play Protect may warn you). That's normal for direct downloads — just follow the 4 quick steps and you're done in about 30 seconds.

Download for Android — Free Latest version · ~60 MB · Android 8.0+
1

Download the file

Tap Download for Android above. Your browser saves paisa-tracker.apk to your phone.

2

Open it & allow installs

Open the downloaded file. If Android says installs from this source aren't allowed, tap Settings → Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install.

3

If you see a Play Protect notice

Because the app is installed outside the Play Store and reads bank SMS, Google Play Protect may show a caution. This is standard for direct-download apps — it's Android being careful, not a sign of a problem. Tap More details → Install anyway if you're happy to continue. Your data stays encrypted on your device.

Don't see “Install anyway”? Here's the fix

On some phones Play Protect blocks the install outright with no “Install anyway” button. You can pause it for a moment, install, then switch it right back on:

  1. Open the Play Store app.
  2. Tap your profile picture (top-right).
  3. Tap Play Protect, then the ⚙️ gear (top-right).
  4. Turn off “Scan apps with Play Protect.”
  5. Go back and install Paisa Tracker (repeat step 2 above if needed).
  6. Turn Play Protect back on using the same steps — you only needed it off for this one install.

Please re-enable Play Protect afterwards. Pausing it only to install a specific app you trust is fine; leaving it off removes protection for everything else.

4

Open & grant SMS access

Launch Paisa Tracker, sign in, and allow SMS permission when asked — that's what lets it track your transactions automatically. For reliable background tracking, also allow it to ignore battery optimization if prompted.

Honest note: we'd never ask you to blindly turn off your phone's security. The steps above only permit this one app to install and read your bank alerts. If anything feels off, don't proceed — and reach out to us.

Questions

Good things to know

Is it safe to install?

Yes. The Android warnings you may see are standard for any app installed outside the Play Store — they're about how you're installing, not whether the app is trustworthy. Your financial data is encrypted and stays on your device.

Does it read my personal messages?

No. Paisa Tracker only processes bank transaction alerts — messages with a payment amount and a debit/credit keyword. Personal chats, OTPs, and promotional messages are filtered out and never processed or uploaded.

Why isn't it on the Play Store?

Google restricts apps that read SMS. Reading your bank alerts to track spending automatically is the app's core feature, so we distribute it directly here — and we're upfront about exactly what's read.

What data do you collect, and can I delete it?

Only your bank transaction details, parsed from transaction SMS and stored encrypted so the app can show you your spending. No ads, no selling your data. You can delete your account and all data anytime, and read the full privacy policy.

Does it work with my bank?

It works with the transaction SMS from major Indian banks. If a message from your bank isn't picked up, you can report it in-app and add the transaction manually.

Is it free?

Yes — Paisa Tracker is free, with no ads.

How do I get updates?

The app tells you when a new version is available. Just come back to this page and download the latest — it installs over your current version, keeping your data.

Take control of your money — today.

Free, private, and automatic. Install in under a minute.
