Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: CashTrace at every 10 days against Oolong's every 2 months. CashTrace also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (35 vs 8). Oolong's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CashTrace sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Oolong sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CashTrace holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 35 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of CashTrace's written reviews are positive against 75% of Oolong's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CashTrace ships an update every 10 days, Oolong every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
