Bought a $300 budgeting app and I'm not sure it was worth it

I got the YNAB app last year after seeing so many people talk about it. It took me a full weekend to set up all my accounts and get the hang of the system. On one hand, it did help me see where my money was going and I saved about $50 a month on random spending. On the other, it feels like a lot of work to keep up with, and I'm not sure the cost is justified over a free spreadsheet. Has anyone else tried a paid budgeting tool and stuck with it long term?

I tried YNAB for a few months and honestly the setup was the worst part.

Yeah, wasn't it a pain? I almost gave up right there.
