Budget University is designed to help students, teens, and families build lifelong money management habits. It makes financial education accessible, practical, and engaging for every learner, reaching 35,000+ learners through its growing digital ecosystem.
Budget University needed a mobile LMS that could deliver interactive lessons, cross-subject integration, and real-life financial scenarios. AppVerticals engineered a system tested through 80+ prototypes, 2,500 user-study interactions, and six iterative UX cycles.





Build a learning flow that blends finance with math, economics, and real-life decisions.
Create dashboards for students & parents to track improvements over time.
Reduce early churn and create a stickier first-week learning journey.
Equip students with simulations that show the impact of everyday money choices.

Youth learning apps face ~40–50% drop-off in the first 7 days. Budget U needed a smoother onboarding and more engaging early sessions.

Students often quit because personal finance feels abstract without real-life context.

Learners needed simulations, like budgets, spending choices, and credit scenarios, to apply what they learned.

The old structure lacked guided pathways, causing confusion and reduced motivation.
We rebuilt the experience around clarity, repetition, and interactivity. These three ingredients are proven to raise financial literacy retention.
