Payday doesn't always land on the same date. Bills don't wait until it's convenient. Piggy calmly shows you how much you really have until your next payday, and helps you put money aside for what matters to you. No subscription. No ads. No account to create. Your data stays on your phone. HOW IT WORKS Tell Piggy when you get paid and what your regular bills are. It turns that into a calendar: your balance after every payment and a forecast for the days ahead. Before you shop, not after. Piggy understands real pay schedules: last day of the month, weekly, every two or four weeks, once a year. If payday falls on a weekend or a public holiday, Piggy moves it to the working day before, using the holiday calendar of the country you're paid in, not your phone's settings. A REAL PIGGY BANK Goals don't fill up on their own. The progress ring shows only what you've actually put aside, by hand or automatically every payday. Not your account balance. WHAT ELSE IS INSIDE • Accounts: bank and cash kept separate, with transfers between them • Recurring and one-off bills, with payment confirmation • Quick expense entry, with categories and a split into essentials and extras • Countdown to payday and income confirmation • Period summary with a balance forecast to the end • Home Screen widgets for your goal, the next due date and quick expenses • Reminders for bills, paydays and goal progress • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock • Złoty, euro, pound and dollar (no exchange rates, because Piggy works offline) • Light and dark mode, plus a short guide to get you started YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Piggy has no server of its own. We don't collect, send or sell your data. No ads, no trackers, no sign-in. If you use more than one device with the same Apple ID, Piggy syncs them through your own private iCloud account, just like Photos or Notes. We never have access to that data. PAY ONCE No subscription, no in-app purchases, no hidden costs. Updates included.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Fidesmo at Free against Piggy's $1.99. Fidesmo also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Piggy's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
