Tally Alternative — What to use now that the app is gone
Tally wound down its consumer app in 2024, so it no longer pays your cards for you. Visentor picks up the half you still control: the plan. Bank-accurate payoff math, no bank login, and a debt-free date you can act on this month.
How we stack up
Other debt payoff tools exist — Undebt.it, Debt Payoff Planner, various app-store calculators. The differences come down to three areas. First, math accuracy: most use monthly interest estimates, not daily accrual. Second, privacy: most store your data in the cloud linked to an account, and some show you targeted financial product ads based on your debt profile. Visentor is local-first — your balances never leave your device unless you opt into Pro sync (and even then, they're encrypted before they do). Third, scope: Visentor includes promotional APR tracking with expiration alerts, because a mishandled 0% period is one of the most expensive mistakes in personal finance.

Choosing with Clarity
vsWhere Tally Wins
- Tally lent you money. Visentor is a planner, not a lender — there is no line of credit here.
- Its automation paid your cards for you; here you still make the payments yourself.
- For people who qualified, it consolidated balances at one rate instead of several.
- It solved the discipline problem, not only the arithmetic problem.
VWhere Visentor Wins
- Nothing to withdraw: there is no credit line behind this, so there is nothing to shut down.
- Daily-accrual interest that reconciles with your statement, not a monthly approximation.
- No bank login and no credit check — your balances stay in your browser.
- Avalanche, snowball and hybrid plans you can compare side by side before committing.
Separate the two things Tally did
Tally did two jobs at once, and only one of them needed a lender. It decided which card to pay and how much, and then it paid — using a line of credit it extended to you. When the app wound down in 2024, both jobs came back to you at the same time, which is why no single replacement feels like a swap.
The decision half is the half that saves the money. Paying an extra $200 toward a 26% card instead of a 14% card is worth hundreds of dollars a year regardless of who moves the money. That is the half Visentor takes over, and it needs no credit line to do it.
What replaces the automation
The honest answer is: your bank does. Every major issuer supports scheduled payments, and the amounts Visentor gives you are fixed for the month — one figure per card, set once. What you lose compared with Tally is the single monthly debit; what you gain is that no third party sits between you and your issuer.
Why the math is worth redoing
Credit card interest accrues daily on your average balance, but most planning tools model it monthly. Over a two- or three-year payoff that gap compounds into a date that is weeks off. Visentor accrues daily, applies your statement and due dates, and shows the interest each plan costs you before you pick one — so the comparison is between real numbers, not round ones.
If you were mid-payoff when Tally closed
Pull the current balance and APR for every card from your latest statement, not from memory. Rates moved in 2024 and 2025.
Enter them here and run avalanche against snowball. The tool shows both dates and both interest totals.
Set the minimum on every card as an automatic payment with your bank, then schedule the surplus to the one card the plan names.
Revisit after any rate change or promotional period expiry — those are the two events that move a payoff date most.

Tally vs Visentor: FAQs
- What happened to the Tally app?
- Tally wound down its consumer app in 2024. It combined two services — a line of credit and an automated payoff engine — and both stopped at once, which is why no single product replaces it directly.
- Is Visentor a replacement for Tally's line of credit?
- No. Visentor is a planner, not a lender. It never moves money and never extends credit; it tells you which card to pay and how much, and you make the payment through your own bank.
- How do I set up automatic payments without Tally?
- Through your card issuer. Schedule the minimum on every card, then schedule the surplus Visentor names to the single card the plan targets. The amounts stay fixed for the month, so you set them once.
- Do I have to link a bank account to use Visentor?
- No. There is no bank login and no credit check. You enter balances, APRs and due dates yourself, and they stay in your browser's encrypted storage.
- Is Visentor free?
- The calculators, strategies and simulations are free and need no account. Paid plans add cross-device sync and the AI advisor.
