# Weekly vs Budgets

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Budgets at none against Weekly's 10. Budgets also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Weekly's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 10). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weekly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Budgets asks for nothing beyond the download.

Budgets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly has 3.8K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Weekly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Budgets's.

Weekly ships an update weekly, Budgets every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
