Privacy
Transaction data flows into a spreadsheet on the user's own Google Drive or OneDrive. Tiller's role is the aggregation pipeline — the user controls the resulting data file. Tiller uses both Plaid and Yodlee as aggregators per the Tiller security page.
Tiller's policy explicitly states 'We do not sell your personal information to third parties.' Account deletion is via email to support; downloaded transaction data is removed.
Pros
- Real spreadsheet ownership — the Google Sheet or Excel file is yours
- Works with both Google Sheets and Excel
- Library of prebuilt templates for budgeting, debt, and net worth
Cons
- No native mobile app for daily use
- Spreadsheet-first workflow is heavier than typical budgeting apps
- $79/year is comparable to other paid options
