Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Expenses at 1.8K against Expense+'s 2. Expense+'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. Expenses sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Expense+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Expense+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expenses has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Expenses ships an update every 6 days, Expense+ every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
