# Cardinate

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/561330/Cardinate

> Cardinate is a credit-card-first tracker built for people who juggle several cards at once, whether you're chasing rewards, paying down balances, or just tired of logging into five different bank apps to see where you stand. Instead of treating your cards as one line in a budget, Cardinate puts them front and center.

You see every card's balance, utilization, APR, and due date in one dashboard. It watches the things that quietly cost you money and that general budgeting apps ignore: it warns you before a 0% intro APR expires and the rate jumps to 24% or more, and it gives you a heads-up before an annual fee posts, so you have time to keep the card, downgrade it, or call for a retention offer. You also get a clear month-by-month payoff plan and a debt-free date using an avalanche or snowball strategy, plus per-card utilization tracking to help protect your credit score.

Connect your cards securely through Plaid in read-only mode, so Cardinate never sees or stores your bank login, or add them by hand. The free plan tracks unlimited cards manually. Pro ($12.99/month) adds automatic bank sync. Cardinate is privacy-first and ad-free, and makes money from subscriptions, never from selling your data. Support is handled directly by the founder.
