Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kakeibo! at none against Budget Tracker's shown. Kakeibo! also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Budget Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
