INSIGHTS

Hisab Score and spending insights for every kind of money

HisabAI insights turn your expenses into a story — a category-wise breakdown of where money goes, a Hisab Score that summarises your spending health, who spent the most in a trip, who pays back on time, and where the leaks are. Works for personal money, friend groups, family households, and trip groups.

What HisabAI tells you that other apps don't

Most expense apps stop at tracking — totals, balances, and the occasional pie chart. HisabAI moves a level above:

  • Patterns — what categories are trending up, what's about to leak
  • Leaderboards — who spent the most, who settles fastest
  • A Hisab Score — a single number that summarises your overall spending health
  • Smart prompts — "your Wi-Fi auto-debit hit again, is this still being used?"
  • Context-aware — separate views for personal money, groups, families, and trips

What is the Hisab Score?

The Hisab Score is HisabAI's summary metric — a single number that captures how organised, consistent, and on-track your expense management is. It blends signals like category balance, settlement punctuality, budgeting consistency, and tracking completeness.

A higher score means cleaner spending hygiene. A lower score flags areas to fix — usually unsettled balances, untracked spend, or a leak in one category. The score is yours alone for personal money; group scores summarise the collective behaviour of the group.

What moves the score:

  • Category balance — are you over-spending on one category vs your usual?
  • Settlement punctuality — do you settle group balances on time?
  • Tracking completeness — are most of your expenses captured?
  • Budget consistency — do you stay within self-set monthly caps?
  • Engagement — are you reviewing insights as they come in?

Personal expense insights

For your own money, HisabAI surfaces:

  • Category-wise spend — monthly view across food, transport, shopping, rent, utilities, subscriptions, and more
  • Monthly trends — how this month compares to last month and the same month last year
  • Recurring spend detection — auto-flags subscriptions and repeated transactions you may have forgotten about
  • Leak detection — categories where you're spending more than usual, with a short "why" explanation
  • Personal Hisab Score — your individual score based on tracking + budgeting + engagement

Group and split-expense insights

For shared expense groups (flatmates, friend circles, recurring groups):

  • Who's spent the most — group leaderboard for the period
  • Who settles on time — payment punctuality per member
  • Outstanding balances overview — total un-settled amount in the group at a glance
  • Group Hisab Score — a collective score that reflects group hygiene
  • Smart settlement reminders — gentle nudges for balances that have been outstanding too long

Trip insights

For trip groups (Goa, Manali, college tours, office offsites):

  • Biggest spender of the trip — who put the most on the line
  • Per-day spend — where most of the budget actually went
  • Per-category breakdown — hotel vs food vs activities vs transport
  • Fastest settler — who paid their share back quickest after the trip
  • Trip summary — a single shareable summary for the group chat or for reimbursement back home

Family insights

For family expense groups:

  • Spend by head — breakdown per family member or by financial responsibility
  • Category trends — groceries vs utilities vs household help vs subscriptions
  • Month-over-month comparison — is this month a spike, and if so where
  • Family Hisab Score — household-wide score
  • Annual summary — useful for tax planning or year-end review

How insights turn into useful prompts

Insights are surfaced as concrete, actionable nudges. Examples:

  • "You spent ₹X more on dining this month than last — mostly weekends"
  • "Your Wi-Fi has been auto-debited 12 months — is this still being used?"
  • "B hasn't settled their share of the Goa trip in 21 days"
  • "Donation receipt missing — we spotted a ₹5,000 donation last week" (links to Tax Vault)
  • "Your transport spend has gone up 40% over 3 months"

Insights vs just tracking

The difference matters because tracking tells you the past. Insights tell you what to do next. Most apps stop at the spreadsheet view; HisabAI moves to the leaderboard, the score, and the prompt — so the information actually changes behaviour.

Privacy of insights data

Insights are computed from your data only. Group insights are visible to group members; family insights stay within the family group. HisabAI does not share insights with third parties and does not use them for advertising. See the Security page for the full data-handling picture.

Frequently asked questions

What range does the Hisab Score use?

The Hisab Score is presented as a single number on a fixed scale, with higher meaning cleaner expense hygiene. The exact scale is calibrated to feel intuitive at a glance — think of it like a fitness score for your spending.

Does my Hisab Score affect my credit score (CIBIL)?

No. Hisab Score is internal to HisabAI and never reported to credit bureaus or any external party. It is for your own awareness, not for credit decisions.

Who can see group insights?

Group insights — leaderboards, settlement punctuality, outstanding balances — are visible only to members of that group. They are not public and not shared outside the group.

Can I see who spent the most in a trip?

Yes. Trip insights show the biggest spender of the trip, per-day spend, per-category breakdown, and the fastest settler — useful both for fairness and for sending a clean summary to the group chat.

Does HisabAI tell me if a roommate or friend is paying back late?

Yes. Settlement punctuality is tracked per member. The group dashboard surfaces who hasn't settled and for how long. HisabAI sends gentle reminders rather than confrontational nudges.

Are insights available on the Free plan?

Basic insights are included with Free. More AI-powered insights, higher monthly insight-card limits, and unlimited insight cards are part of Plus and Pro.

Can I export my insights?

Yes. Insights export is included on paid plans — 5 exports per month on Plus and 50 on Pro. Useful for tax planning, year-end reviews, and sharing with a CA.

How is the Hisab Score calculated?

The Hisab Score is computed from category balance, settlement punctuality, tracking completeness, budget consistency, and insight engagement. The exact weighting is calibrated to encourage healthy expense habits, not to game the score.
