I spent four years working at Simple, there are a lot of great humans there. Please reach out if there is anything I can do to help.

As for the product, it was great to work on and there was so much potential simply left on the floor. Really a shame to see that none of that will be realized.

Do you know of any alternatives to simple that have a similar awesome budgeting tool with "safe to spend"?

I don’t have much experience here. There are a lot of recommendations in these comments though.

Why did you leave? Did they downsize after the BBVA acquisition?

I took an opportunity at Heptio in 2019 (which was acquired by VMware soon after). They did not downsize and in fact we were growing when I joined a couple of months after the BBVA acquisition.
