What you can do in PesaLog on the web
Six mobile-money types, not one generic 'expense'
Log the way you paid — Send Money, Paybill, Buy Goods (Till), Withdraw, Airtime or Deposit — with recipient prompts that change per rail and recent-recipient chips for repeat payments.
A fee on every transaction
Each entry carries the charge you actually paid, so out-of-pocket is amount plus fee and deposits cost you only the fee.
The published tariff bands, built in
PesaLog knows the banded charge for a send, a paybill and a withdrawal at any amount — it suggests the likely fee as you type so you can check what you were actually charged, and it knows a till is free at every band.
Fee Ledger with paybill vs till
Monthly fee total, fees as a percentage of what you sent out, charges broken down by transaction type, and a paybill-versus-till comparison that tells you what the wrong rail is costing you.
Daily float with rollover
Set what you allow yourself per day; a countdown ring shows what is left today, unspent float carries forward day by day, and a seven-day strip shows which days you stayed under.
Monthly review
Out-of-pocket versus last month, a six-month trend, a category donut, spend by transaction type and your top five recipients — all for any month you scroll back to.
