# Weekly vs SimpliSpend

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SimpliSpend at none against Weekly's 10. SimpliSpend also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Weekly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 2). On price, 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. SimpliSpend asks for nothing beyond the download.

SimpliSpend 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 2, 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 SimpliSpend's.

Weekly ships an update weekly, SimpliSpend daily. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
