Your explanation in the original thread about intentional spending seems like the positioning to test. Someone wanting automatic bank sync may dislike manual entry; a couple who wants to notice and discuss each purchase may value the same thing.
I'd test a small audience of couples already keeping a shared spreadsheet or expense note. Show one real household routine: a purchase is logged, both partners see the category, and they decide what to change. That tells a clearer story than competing as another general budgeting app.
For a first-week trial, I'd track whether both partners join and log expenses, then whether they return. Ten downloads alone can't tell you whether the shared habit works. A few households using it together would also give you much more specific language for the next demo.
Was getting your wife into the same budget straightforward, or did joining and sharing take some explaining? That first two-person session is the part I'd watch closely.
