The number you need to know
but nobody's ever shown you.
Your credit score measures how risky you are to lenders. Your Burden Score measures how much financial stress you are actually carrying. It's a proprietary 0-100 score built from multiple financial stress signals weighted to your specific situation.
A high credit score and a Critical Burden Score can exist on the same person. The credit score says the bank is safe. The Burden Score says you are not.
Built on 5 proprietary financial stress signals, each weighted to your situation. It captures what credit scores ignore: how close your debt is to becoming a real problem. Pro unlocks the full factor breakdown so you can see exactly what's driving your score.
Pick the strategy that fits your debt. Or let the app recommend one.
Unburden analyzes your actual debt profile and recommends the strategy that works best for your situation.
Snowball
Pays off the smallest balance first. You eliminate debts faster, building confidence and momentum with each one you cross off.
Avalanche
Targets the highest interest rate first. Saves the most money over time. On modeled profiles, avalanche saves an average of $340 more than snowball (up to $1,095 on profiles with high APR spread). See the full analysis.
Momentum
A proprietary three-rule system that adapts to your debt profile. You get early wins that keep you motivated without sacrificing the mathematical savings of avalanche.
