How to track costs in StalliQ: Open the horse profile, go to the "Costs" tab and tap the plus button. Pick a category (e.g. vet, feed, stable rent), enter the amount and save. For regular expenses like stable rent or insurance, turn on "Repeat" - StalliQ then creates the costs automatically every month, quarter, half-year or year. The cost analysis with trends and category breakdown is available from the PLUS plan onward.
Which cost categories are there?
StalliQ offers 15 predefined categories:
Stable rent, feed, bedding, farrier, vet, dentist, osteopath, medication, insurance, equipment, training, competition, transport, pasture and other.
You can also create your own categories for special expenses.
How do I log a single expense?
In the Costs tab, tap the plus button:
- Category - Pick from the category list
- Amount (€) - The cost in euros
- Date - When did the expense occur?
- Title - Short description (e.g. "Farrier full shoeing")
- Notes - Optional details
Tap "Save".
How do I set up recurring costs?
When creating an expense, turn on the "Repeat" section and choose the interval:
- Monthly - e.g. stable rent, insurance
- Quarterly - e.g. worming
- Half-yearly - e.g. dentist
- Yearly - e.g. vaccination, horse passport renewal
StalliQ automatically creates the follow-up cost entries. For monthly costs, a separate entry is generated for each month. When you delete a recurring expense, you'll be asked: "Only this expense", "This and all future ones" or "All expenses in the series".
What does the cost overview show?
The Costs tab shows:
- Monthly overview - Total costs for the current month
- Cost list - All entries in chronological order
- Trend - Month-by-month progression as a chart (PLUS/PRO)
- Category breakdown - Which categories cause the highest costs (PLUS/PRO)

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a plan in StalliQ to track costs?
Cost tracking itself works with the FREE plan. For the cost analysis with trends, category breakdown, yearly overview and export, you need the PLUS or PRO plan.
Can I compare costs for multiple horses in StalliQ?
Each horse has its own Costs tab. There is currently no cross-horse cost comparison - you see the costs for each horse individually.
Are costs captured automatically from the document scan?
Yes. When you scan a document with AI and enable the "Track costs" option, a cost entry is automatically created with the detected total amount and the matching category.
Can I export costs in StalliQ?
Yes, with the PLUS or PRO plan. The cost analysis offers an export. Alternatively, the data export (Settings → Export my data) includes all cost data as JSON.
