ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nudget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nudget has 378 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Nudget's written reviews are positive against 86% of Simple Expense Tracker App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
