ā³ How long until you're debt-free?

If you've been using Skwad, I'd love to hear your thoughts. So far, our favorite feature is the debt tracker. You can log all your loans and get a clear breakdown of your balanceā€”and how much longer you have until you're debt-free.

The DUO plan is only $11 a year after the free trial. But if you want more features like extra currencies and real time spreadsheet syncs, you might like the DIY plan. Get 15% off with the code TATE15. (Full price $39 a year)

Try Skwad for free and take control of your finances.
