Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Personal Spending Tracker at none against Spend's 2. Personal Spending Tracker also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.6). Spend's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support 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. Spend sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Personal Spending Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spend holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spend has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Spend's written reviews are positive against 67% of Personal Spending Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spend ships an update every 5 days, Personal Spending Tracker every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 4, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
