Does Wallet require a bank connection?

No. Wallet can be used manually without connecting a bank. Bank synchronization is an optional Premium feature for supported institutions. Numero instead recognizes activity from SMS, authorized email accounts and manual entries.

Will Numero keep more than 30 days of my history?

Yes. The free 30-day window is for initial email sync; SMS can start with up to 6 months. These are import lookback windows, not rolling limits on your saved data. New activity keeps adding to your history as you continue using Numero for free.

Can I import my Wallet CSV export into Numero?

We have not verified a direct import. Wallet can export records, but that does not mean Numero can read that file. Keep your export and your existing records while you try Numero with the messages available to it.

Does Wallet offer a lifetime plan?

Yes. Wallet's official product page advertises Lifetime Premium as a one-time purchase. Check current regional and platform-specific offers and terms before buying; we do not publish an unverified price or assume everyone pays a recurring subscription.

Can Numero replace Wallet's bank feed and portfolio overview?

Not as an equivalent replacement. Numero tracks recognized activity from messages and manual entries, not a direct bank feed or a live portfolio valuation. If supported bank synchronization, investments or a broader net-worth view are essential, Wallet may remain the better fit.

What if Wallet does not support my bank?

Check current support for your exact bank and account before paying for synchronization. Manual entries or supported imports may still work in Wallet. Numero or FinArt may offer a message-based alternative where supported transaction SMS or emails are available, but that is different from bank-feed coverage.

Can Numero tell me what I bought last month?

You can ask about purchases, merchants and amounts that Numero has recorded. Receipts and order updates can add useful context, but we do not promise an item-by-item list of everything you bought. The answer depends on the details available in your connected sources and saved records.

Are subscriptions, refunds and spending questions included in Free?

Yes. Free includes tracking for subscriptions and refunds found in your messages, plus three Ask Numero questions each month. Each follow-up counts as a question. AI Insights and receipt capture are optional paid extras. A past receipt does not prove a plan is still active, and a refund initiation email does not prove the money arrived.

Explore Wallet planning and sharing

Keep Wallet when the wider overview matters

A working bank connection, years of imported history, investment tracking or shared household accounts may be worth keeping. Try Numero if your priority is understanding expenses from SMS and inbox records, not recreating every Wallet feature.

Not a countdown. Not a trial.

Automatic tracking can stay free.

You can keep tracking with Numero without upgrading. Free starts with up to 6 months of available Android bank SMS and 30 days from one inbox. Those are starting windows, not expiry dates: your saved history keeps growing as you use it.

Use Numero for a year, and your recorded activity can span that year. The initial sync windows do not turn into rolling deletion limits.

Included in Free

Supported Android bank SMS plus one Gmail or Outlook inbox
Subscription and refund tracking from your recorded messages
Free budgets, search and manual entries for cash or missing records
Three Ask Numero questions per month, with optional paid upgrades

Optional upgrades add AI Insights, receipt capture, more AI questions and connected inboxes. Compare plans.

The number is only the start

Make sense of the messages behind your spending.

A bank entry can tell you what you paid. A receipt or renewal email can tell you more about the purchase. Numero brings those details together where it can, so the next question does not have to mean another inbox search.

"What was that charge for?"

An amount and a shop name can leave you guessing. Bring receipts, order references and related updates together when your messages include them.

See how expenses come together

"Am I still paying for this?"

See the plans, charges and renewal dates Numero has found. Review the latest updates instead of assuming an old receipt means a plan is still active.

Explore subscription tracking

"Did that refund ever arrive?"

A refund email is not always money back. Follow related updates and see the difference between a refund being started and evidence that it arrived.

Explore refund tracking

"Where did my money go?"

Ask about recorded purchases, shops and amounts in plain language. Start with three questions a month for free; each follow-up uses one question.

See what you can ask

Numero can only answer from what it has recorded. Missing messages or unrecorded cash can leave gaps, and item-by-item purchase details are not guaranteed.

Keep your records. Try a different way.

01
Save your Wallet export. Keep the history you care about before changing anything.
02
Start Numero from your messages. A direct import of Wallet exports has not been verified; do not assume those records will move across.
03
Check a week you remember. Compare purchases, transfers, refunds and cash entries. Different sources can produce different totals.
04
Keep what still works. Test Numero before replacing Wallet's bank feed, investment overview or family setup, or cancelling Premium.

A few things worth knowing

Try Numero if you want ongoing SMS and email expense tracking without a bank login. It includes budgets, one connected inbox and three Ask Numero questions per month. Wallet itself also offers free manual tracking, so changing apps is not necessary just to avoid a paid plan.
