Every Penny Counts is a lightweight personal finance app designed for everyday money tracking. It helps you record income, expenses and transfers, manage account balances, set monthly budgets, and review your recent financial activity in a simple, organized interface. The app includes five main sections: Overview, Accounts, Transactions, Budgets and Settings. You can create accounts for cash, bank cards, credit cards, e-wallets, investments and other assets, then keep each balance up to date as you record transactions. When adding a transaction, choose from income, expense or transfer, then add the amount, date, category and optional notes. Account balances update automatically based on each transaction, helping you keep a clearer picture of your money across different accounts. The Overview page gives you a quick summary of net worth, monthly income, monthly expenses, monthly balance, recent transactions and a six-month income and expense trend. The Transactions page lets you filter records by month and transaction type, making it easier to review spending patterns over time. Budgets help you manage spending by category. Set monthly budget amounts for expense categories and use them as a simple guide for controlling everyday costs. Every Penny Counts comes with common income and expense categories, including food and dining, transportation, shopping, housing, healthcare, entertainment, education, telecom, daily essentials, utilities, salary, part-time jobs and investment income. You can also manage categories based on your own habits. Your data is stored locally on your device. The app also supports exporting your data as a JSON backup file and restoring data from a backup when needed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: First Electric at none against Every's shown. Every'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.
