# iCost记账 vs Nut Goals

The clearest difference is rating: iCost记账 at 4.9 against Nut Goals's 3.0. iCost记账 also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 2) and device support (5 vs 1). Nut Goals's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iCost记账 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and Nut Goals sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iCost记账 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCost记账 has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iCost记账 ships an update every 2 weeks, Nut Goals every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
