Description

Playbook is a step-by-step app for growing your money and minimizing taxes so you can live the life you want, sooner.

Why are tax advantages urgent?
Every year, the government gives you opportunities to grow your money and pay less in taxes — made possible by tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s, IRAs, Roth IRAs etc.

These tax opportunities expire every year. If you delay (even just one year) on filling those accounts, you’ll miss out on decades of compounding interest and an unbelievable opportunity to build wealth.

On the flipside, the sooner you start maxing out those accounts, the more likely it is that you’ll reach financial freedom sooner with the most money possible.

HOW DOES PLAYBOOK WORK?

We find your missed opportunities.
Simply connect your bank accounts and Playbook finds the earnings and tax opportunities you’re missing.

Then, we work those opportunities into your plan so you can super-charge your net worth.

There’s a catch! This is time sensitive. If you don’t start strategically building wealth today, you’ll miss out on years of compounding interest.

We optimize your tax advantages.
One of the most critical parts of your plan is maxing out your tax-advantaged accounts. Playbook finds your eligible accounts and works them into your plan.

What are tax-advantaged accounts? Accounts with special tax benefits so you can pay less in taxes. Think 401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, HSA etc.

We build your delightful financial plan.
Based on your finances, we craft a holistic plan to optimize your investments, tax advantages, and goals. Then, we automate it for you.

The best part? Your plan is fully customizable — you can set unique risk profiles and timelines so your investments are tailor-made to your needs.

Together, we fine-tune your investments.
Your investments should be smart, adaptive, and perfectly dialed into your plan. We help you do that with customizable risk profiles and multiple, unique portfolios.

New to investing? Nice! There’s no better time to start, and we’ll guide you every step of the way.

You reach financial freedom!
Woohoo! Finally, you won’t have to wonder if you’re doing the best things for your money.

Squashing bugs!

Fun fact: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) sells a jar of peanut butter that costs over one thousand dollars! It's really not that tasty (2.5 star rating), but this standard reference material helps other firms (i.e. Skippy) calibrate their testing to make sure that what they sell in stores meets the government's standard for peanut butter.

The best investing app.

Playbook has been a great service for me. I’ve used it for over a year now, and it has helped me automate my savings, investments, and retirements with ease. I highly recommend it for anyone who’s looking to automate their saving in a tax advantaged manner.

Basic and too expensive

First and most important: advising on 401k and backdoor Roth IRA is not going to save me any money since I’m already doing and maxing out on that. Secondly, your investing strategy is going to underperform my current one. Third, paying 59 dollar per month is crazy. The app is very basic and not worth your time or money. Just max out your 401k and google Backdoor Roth IRA and put your investments in S&P500 ETF and you are good to go, no app needed for and definitely don’t pay any money for it. Reason for 2nd star: The Playbook app was honest to tell me that without Playbook I will save 300k more until retirement age then without Playbook…

Collects massive amounts of data; paywalls an astronomical price to even see what you’re getting

I hardly ever take time to write a review, but this app has earned it. It collects a treasure trove of information on you. And then at the end, if you want ANY sort of advice of ANY kind, you have to fork over a huge amount of money, not having ANY idea what you’re getting. In my case, it’s $29 per month. For what? I know what IRAs and pre-tax strategies are. Anyone with google and a functioning brain can figure that out. Not impressed. And you can’t delete your account without emailing them a request.

Developer Response ,

Hello. David, Founder & CEO, here. I'm genuinely really sorry you had a bad experience with Playbook. We ask people a couple of questions about their finances at the start so we can see what they're currently doing with their money. Based on this, we can make an estimate of the potential uplift of optimizing their financial plan. Some people are doing everything optimally already, and we usually recommend that they don't need to subscribe. If there's room to improve, we want to show how much that is worth to them before they subscribe. If you'd like to give us another shot, please email us at hello@helloplaybook.com. I'll make sure that someone from our credentialed support team gives a 1:1 white-glove onboarding experience so you can see exactly how the product works.
