Who Ziko is best for
You want the discipline without the subscription
If paying monthly for a budgeting tool is a blocker, Ziko gives you a free workflow that still supports intentional category tracking.
You prefer a clean, simple monthly flow
Some tools feel “heavy” when you’re starting. Ziko keeps the steps simple: set income → plan categories → log spending → review totals.
