Left answers one question: what can I spend today? Not “where did my money go last month.” Not a spreadsheet. One number, right every morning — and now a second answer, before you buy: can I afford it? HOW IT WORKS Tell Left what you have and how long it has to last. Left divides it across the days and shows today's share. Spend less today and tomorrow goes up. Spend more and tomorrow comes down. The last day always offers exactly what is left, to the cent. CAN I AFFORD IT? Type a price before you buy. Left shows what it does to every day until payday: it fits in today, it fits if the coming days carry it, it leaves them thin, or it's more than you have. Set it aside and today's number counts it straight away. On the day, Left asks whether you bought it. SAVINGS GOALS THAT FILL THEMSELVES A trip, a cushion for a bad month, a new laptop. Link a saving in your paycheck plan and it's added on every payday. Save what's left at the end of a budget with one tap. Left tells you when you'll get there. PAID ON A SCHEDULE? LEFT PLANS IT Enter your pay, your bills and what you want to save. Left sets them aside on payday, so today's number only ever shows money that is really free to spend. The next 30 days — paydays, bills, planned purchases — in the order they arrive. THREE SECONDS TO LOG IT Favorites, categories, and quick add from the Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen, Siri, the Action button, Control Center — and now Apple Watch, with today's number on your watch face. SEE IT, DON'T STUDY IT Where your money went, by category, with a tap through to every expense. Days in a row within your share, and no-spend days. Every budget you finish, kept. COMING FROM ANOTHER APP? Import this budget's spending from a CSV — another budgeting app's export or your bank's — and see exactly what will be added before anything is. BUILT TO BE PRIVATE • No account. No sign-up. No email. • No server. Nothing is uploaded, synced or stored anywhere else. • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party SDKs. • No bank connection. You type what you spend. • Face ID lock, if you want one. • An encrypted backup you export and keep yourself. THE PRICE Everything is free for 14 days. After that, the daily number, logging and your current budget stay free, for good. One payment unlocks the rest — the paycheck plan, goals, “Can I afford it?”, widgets and Apple Watch, insights and your whole history. Once. Never a subscription. In English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Left at none against SpendMon's shown. SpendMon's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
