Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MoneyTrack at 4.9 against Cent's 3.0. MoneyTrack also leads on ratings volume (411 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). Cent's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MoneyTrack sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Cent asks for nothing beyond the download.
MoneyTrack holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoneyTrack has 411 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of MoneyTrack's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MoneyTrack ships an update fortnightly, Cent weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
