Apps do a lot of things, including help us spend money. We&rsquo;ve rounded up some <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/apps" data-rapid-parsed="slk">apps</a> that <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/saving" data-rapid-parsed="slk">help us save</a> ― or at least help us spend less. Here are a few that could tune up your <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/budgeting" data-rapid-parsed="slk">budget</a>&nbsp;this year, with hardly any effort on your part at all.&nbsp;

Earny

<strong>What it does:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.earny.co/home" target="_blank" data-rapid-parsed="slk">Earny</a>&nbsp;automatically monitors when retailers reduce the prices on items you purchased. When that happens, Earny&nbsp;contacts the company to get the difference back, without your so much as lifting a finger.<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free

Raise

<strong>What it does:</strong>&nbsp;Before you shop online or in stores, search the Raise marketplace to find discounted gift cards by brand, category or value. Shoppers save an average of 12 percent on purchases, according to a Raise spokesman.&nbsp;You can also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raise.com/sell-gift-cards" target="_blank">sell gift cards</a>&nbsp;you don't want on Raise for cash.&nbsp;<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free (including shipping on physical cards)

Cardpool

<strong>What it does:</strong>&nbsp;Similar to Raise,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cardpool.com/mobile" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-rapid-parsed="slk">Cardpool&nbsp;</a>works as a platform for users to buy and sell gift cards. Buyers can get up to 92 percent of a gift card&rsquo;s value. Sellers may have to wait a bit longer for their money because, unlike Raise, Cardpool doesn&rsquo;t post the funds directly to the seller&rsquo;s bank account.&nbsp;Instead, the payment comes in the form of an Amazon eGift Card or a bank check sent via snail mail.&nbsp;<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free<strong><br /></strong>

Digit

<strong>What it does:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://digit.co/" target="_blank" data-rapid-parsed="slk">Digit</a>&nbsp;analyzes your account balances, spending history and upcoming bills to calculate how much you can afford to save every few days. If it thinks you can afford to sock away some extra cash, it&rsquo;ll automatically transfer the funds into your Digit account, where you can withdraw the money at any time.&nbsp;<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free to try, then $2.99 per month

Qapital

<strong>What it does:</strong>&nbsp;Qapital allows you to set up certain conditions that trigger the app to transfer cash to your savings. For example, you can direct it to set aside 10 percent every time you get paid. Or get motivational and tell it to set aside&nbsp;$10 every time your fitness app reports that you took 10,000 steps in a day or hit the gym. It can even round up every purchase you make to the nearest dollar and deposit the difference into your savings.<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free

Acorns

<strong>What it does:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.acorns.com/" target="_blank" data-rapid-parsed="slk">Acorns</a>&nbsp;rounds up the cost of your purchases to the nearest dollar and transfers the difference from your checking account into an Acorns account. Then, it invests that money in low-cost exchange traded funds, or ETFs.<br /><strong>What it costs:</strong>&nbsp;Free to try, then&nbsp;$1 a month (or 0.25 percent a year for larger accounts); also&nbsp;free for college students and anyone under age 24
