Free Budgeting Tools with Current Accounts - any recommendations please?

Good Morning All, 
Just wondered if anyone knew any current accounts with a free budgeting tool?
My current account is with Think Money and has been for 15 years, they do all of your budgeting for you which is good as I do not have to worry about working out what is saved for my bills and what I can spend its all there on my app,  but this is all for a monthly fee (which has just increased) to £15.95 per month (£191.40 PA ) with the cost of living rising and everything else becoming more expensive I wondered if there was a current account out there that does all this on their app but without a monthly fee enabling me to save the above amount, as every penny helps, any suggestions or recommendations would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks. 

From Lisa in Kent

    Starling and Monzo have lots of good budgeting features in their apps. They let you split the money into different spaces/pots and you can have direct debits and standing orders coming out of those pots. You could open an account with one of those and give it a try.
