A free no-spend tracker printable or app will give your no-spend challenge a purpose, plus keep you motivated. A must-have for your next challenge!
Are you attempting to stop spending money for a weekend, week, or even month?
A no-spend tracker is the perfect way to:
- Keep you motivated to not spend money
- Give your No-Spend-Challenge more purpose
- Give you something else to focus on (you know, besides spending money)
That’s why I’ve rounded up the BEST, free, no-spend trackers available.
Hint: you'll want to pair one of these up with my free No Spend Challenge Guide.

2. No Buy Tracker Printable
Here’s a cool-looking tracker you can put on your wall, bulletin board, or really anywhere else!
This one also has a slot to fill in one specific goal (so, you could fill in the savings goal or debt payoff goal you’re trying to achieve with this challenge), and how you’ll reward yourself for getting through it.
3. No Spend Month-Long Tracker
I absolutely love her design for this month-long, spending-free tracker!
It’d be fun to put this on the fridge, and then use circle magnets, or even stickers, to mark off each day you don’t spend money.

5. 30-Day No Spend Challenge Tracker
This no-spend printable set comes with a 30-day no-spend tracker, a worksheet, and a shopping list to keep you aware of all the things you want to buy (but don’t) during your challenge.
Great idea to give you some awareness of how many things you want to buy are really a need or a nice-to-have.
6. No Spend Worksheet Set
Here’s a free worksheet set that will guide you through your No Buy challenge.
I love how there's space for you to write down things you need, the estimated cost of that item, and then brainstorm how to get around paying for something to satisfy that need. What a cool way to track how much you saved yourself!
You're also guided to brainstorm a bunch of $0-cost ideas to keep yourself entertained.
Then, there’s a cute tracker with specific rules to follow for 30 days.
7. Month-Long No Buy Tracker
These colors are great – I'd love to hang this month-long, no-buy tracker on my fridge the next time I do a no-spend challenge!
Next up, let’s go digital!
No Spend Tracker Apps
If you’d rather track your no-spend days by app, then this section is for you.
While there are no specific apps for No Spend Challenge trackers, I did find several that you can easily adapt to use for this purpose.
1. Habit Bull Tracker
While technically you can use this app to track any habit you’re trying to do, it works for a no-spend challenge, too.
You type in the habits you want to track, and then you click each day that you actually did that. For your challenge? Your habits could be:
- Do not spend any money
- Do not enter a store
- Do not browse online stores
- Etc.
It also shares your progress as you go along (daily streaks), letting you know how many days in a row you’ve done your habit.
Free to use for both iOS and Android.
2. Mint.com
Did you know that you can use the Mint.com app to track a no-spend challenge?
Just download a .csv file with all of your transactions at the end of your challenge, sort it from lowest to highest in the money column, and count up the number of $0’s that show-up.
Free to use for both iOS and Android.
3. Coach.me
Here’s another habit tracker where you track anything you’d like to make into a habit – such as not buying non-essentials for a certain period of time.
Set up the goals you want to achieve, and then check in with your progress (plus set a milestone to reach, like 50% completed!).
Free to use for both iOS and Android.
No Spend Tracker Bullet Journal Spreads
Do you use a bullet journal? Here are several free ways to track your no-spend challenges using it.
1. Simple No Spend Bullet Tracker
Here’s a very simple setup for how to track a challenge with your bullet journal. Plus, they’ve got a facing page with specific rules they’re using on their own.
2. One-Column No Spend Bullet Tracker
Here’s another very simple setup to track a no-spend month. This woman just adds one column to her monthly bullet journal spread, which helps her quickly see her spending over the entire month and see how successful (or not) her challenge was.
Remember that you want to pick out the no-spend tracker that works for YOU. And you might need to try a few different types out – starting with a printable and then maybe choosing an app to see which one works better.
