How Sure works
Sure organises a financial picture around accounts, transactions, assets, liabilities, investments, and budgets. Users can record cash, cards, loans, property, securities, or other holdings, then view how those records affect net worth and spending. Transactions can represent income, expenses, or transfers between accounts.
The application combines current balances with categorised activity and budget plans. Manual accounts allow uncommon assets or debts to be represented even when a live financial-data connection is unavailable. Because every number depends on the entered or imported records, regular reconciliation remains important for accurate reports.
Key Sure features
Account tracking brings assets and debts into one view, while transaction tools help users review inflows, outflows, and transfers. Budgeting supports category limits and spending analysis, and investment views place portfolio activity beside the rest of the household balance sheet.
Sure can be accessed from a browser and through supported clients connected to the same self-hosted service. The application also exposes interfaces for automation and agent-based workflows, though those integrations require separate setup and should be governed carefully when they can read financial records.
Sure vs Monarch Money
Sure is a self-hosted personal-finance application in which the owner controls the deployment and stored records. Monarch Money is a vendor-operated subscription that connects accounts, combines transactions, tracks investments and net worth, and offers shared household access through its own service.
Monarch Money may suit households that prioritise managed bank connectivity, mobile apps, guided setup, and provider support. Sure is more attractive when self-hosting and direct data control matter, but users must take responsibility for the application, the accuracy of manual entries, and any external financial-data provider they decide to configure.
Who uses Sure
Individuals use Sure to consolidate spending, accounts, debts, and investments. Couples or households can maintain a shared financial picture, while technically confident users may integrate the API with reporting or automation tools under their own access controls.
Sure is not a replacement for regulated financial advice, tax filing, or a bank ledger. It reflects the data entered or connected to it, so missing transactions, stale balances, and incorrect categories can distort the resulting analysis.
Self-hosting Sure: requirements and cost
Sure workload grows with transaction history, connected accounts, reporting queries, background jobs, and the number of household users. The catalogue stack includes PostgreSQL plus Redis and a worker service. PostgreSQL is connected automatically, yet the database remains unmanaged by AvaHost and must stay consistent with the application data.
The self-hosted application adds no separate software charge. AvaHost recommends Plan 3 at €10 after including database memory in the sizing decision. One-click setup, custom-domain support, automated HTTPS, automatic application updates, and scheduled backups are part of the hosted service. Bank-data subscriptions or provider fees are not included in the app plan.
F.A.Q
Sure starts at €10 on Plan 3 because the recommendation accounts for the application, PostgreSQL, Redis, and its background worker. The hosting price includes one-click deployment, custom-domain support, automated HTTPS, automatic application updates, and scheduled backups. External bank-data services, market-data subscriptions, or other provider charges remain separate from the AvaHost plan.
The deployment creates PostgreSQL beside Sure and supplies the connection settings needed by the application and worker. Accounts, transactions, budgets, and related financial records rely on that database. It is included but unmanaged by AvaHost, so application changes, data exports, and recovery planning should consider PostgreSQL and persistent files together.
Sure can run on a custom domain with automated HTTPS, giving household members one stable address for browser access. Once DNS has been updated, users should confirm sign-in, client connections, callback URLs, and any integrations that store the earlier hostname. Access to the finance workspace should be limited to people who are meant to see the records.
The catalogue stack provides Sure, PostgreSQL, Redis, and the background worker, but it does not list a bundled financial-data provider. Sure supports manual accounts and may support external connections when separately configured. Any provider account, API credentials, coverage limits, and related charges remain outside the AvaHost application plan.
