Wallos is open source and self-hosted PHP applicatiom. That means you’ll need to download and host it on your own server or web hosting. There is a demo account for trial at demo.wallosapp.com.
Its key features include multi-currency support, household expense splitting, and stats like most expensive subscription, monthly and yearly costs, budget remaining, and monthly savings.
Although installation is fairly simple if you have basic website management skills, keep in mind that with self-hosted apps, you are responsible for updates, security, bug fixes, and integrating third-party tools. For example: For currency conversion, you’ll need a real-time currency API. To get email reminders for upcoming payments, you will have to connect to a third-party email delivery provider or SMTP server.
