Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you wanted to know about how OurLifeCosts works

Is it safe? Will the bot access my passwords or emails?
expand_more
Absolutely not. OurLifeCosts uses the Google OAuth protocol. You only grant access to the specific spreadsheet you create for accounting. We don't see your emails, passwords, or other personal files. All data is stored exclusively on Google servers in your sheet. The bot only analyzes data from that specific table.
Does the bot understand my language in voice messages?
expand_more
Yes! Thanks to integration with modern AI speech recognition models, OurLifeCosts understands several languages including English and Ukrainian. You can say: "Coffee 5 dollars" or "Gas two thousand" — the bot instantly recognizes the amount and category (after your confirmation).
What if I make a mistake in the amount or name?
expand_more
Everything is under control. You can instantly message the corrected amount to the bot. Additionally, since OurLifeCosts syncs with your Google Sheet in real-time, you can go into the sheet and manually edit any cell at any time.
How do I add a partner to a shared budget?
expand_more
It's very simple and completely free. In the bot's settings, select "Add Partner" and send them the special link. Once confirmed, all your shared expenses will automatically go into one sheet in real-time.
What if I forget to log an expense?
expand_more
OurLifeCosts helps form a healthy habit. You can set up daily reminders at a time convenient for you. For example, at 9:00 PM, the bot can ask: "Did you remember to log your expenses today?".
Why is the service free? What's the catch?
expand_more
No catches. Currently, our goal is to make OurLifeCosts the most convenient financial tool. In the future, we plan to add premium PRO features (like AI analytics or savings tips), but basic personal and family accounting will remain free.
