ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ledger Bunny holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ledger Bunny has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of CostDiary's written reviews are positive against 0% of Ledger Bunny's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CostDiary ships an update every 3 weeks, Ledger Bunny weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
