How CostMe counts a resist
Tap resist and a small win is recorded. But what exactly counts, and when does CostMe lock it in? Here's the answer.
Tap resist and your savings jump, your streak ticks up, and a small win is recorded. But what exactly counts as a resist, and when does CostMe lock it in? Here is what is happening behind that button.
What a resist is
A resist is the moment you decide not to buy something you were considering. You enter the price, see what it could become, and tap the choice that says no. That single tap is the unit CostMe is built around.
What it counts
When you resist, CostMe adds the price to your lifetime savings number and credits the day toward your resist streak. It is the saved amount that counts. Not the projected future value. So the total stays honest about money you actually kept.
When it locks in
- A resist counts only when you tap it on purpose. Nothing is saved just because you closed the app.
- A purchase parked in the 48-hour vault becomes a resist only if you choose to resist when the timer ends.
- Change your mind later? You can edit your history so the count stays true.
Why it works this way
Counting only deliberate choices keeps the number meaningful. A streak you earned tap by tap is something you trust. And trust is what keeps you coming back.
The takeaway
A resist is a deliberate no. CostMe counts the saved amount toward your savings and your streak, only when you tap it. Earned, honest, yours.
