Where does your money go every month? Budget OK gives you the answer. It is a personal finance and money management app that combines an expense tracker, a monthly budget planner and a bill organizer, so your household budget, spending, savings and debts fit on one screen. Personal budgeting only works when tracking takes seconds. In Budget OK you log a purchase in two taps: amount, category, done. Because entry is fast, you keep your money tracking going day after day, and your budget finally reflects reality instead of guesses. TRACK YOUR EXPENSES AND INCOME Record daily spending and income as they happen. Categories and subcategories such as groceries, cafes, transport and subscriptions show exactly how you spend your money. SEE YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE Clear charts and reports break down your expenses by category and compare months. Spot the spending leaks, cut them, and free up cash for the things that matter. PLAN A MONTHLY BUDGET YOU CAN KEEP Set a spending limit for each category and watch the remaining balance through the month. Planning your income and expenses ahead turns budgeting from a chore into a habit. STAY ON TOP OF BILLS AND PAYMENTS Keep rent, utilities and recurring payments organized so every bill is paid on time and nothing surprises you at the end of the month. GROW YOUR SAVINGS, MANAGE YOUR DEBTS Track savings goals and debts next to your everyday money. Watching progress build is the easiest motivation to keep saving. ALL ACCOUNTS, WALLETS AND CURRENCIES Cash, cards and wallets live side by side, with multiple currencies for travel and transfers. Your accounting stays accurate wherever you spend. WHO IS BUDGET OK FOR? For families who want to run a shared household budget. For couples splitting rent and bills. For anyone who reaches the end of the month wondering where the paycheck went. And for everyone who has started expense tracking before and wants to finally stick with it: here your money management takes minutes a week. DETAIL WHEN YOU NEED IT Subcategories sharpen your expense tracking: not just "groceries", but supermarket and delivery separately. That is how your budget finds the costs that like to hide. READY IN ONE MINUTE No bank logins, no complicated setup, no forced sign-up. Open the app, log your first expense, done: your expense tracker works, your budget is in place, your financial planning begins. Your personal finances are yours: export your data anytime. Your financial records are stored securely, sync across devices and can be exported anytime. Budgeting, expense tracking and financial planning belong together, and Budget OK keeps them in one simple tool. People use it to answer one question: where did the money go? Rated 4.7 stars by users who finally see their full money picture. Start tracking today and take control of your personal finances.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Budget OK at 4.7 against Wasted's 4.2. Budget OK also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 5). Wasted's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Budget OK sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Wasted sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Budget OK holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Budget OK has 232 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Budget OK's written reviews are positive against 86% of Wasted's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Budget OK ships an update monthly, Wasted every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
