# JSpending vs Check Supply

The clearest difference is rating: JSpending at 5.0 against Check Supply's 4.4. JSpending also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Check Supply's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JSpending sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Check Supply sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JSpending holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Check Supply has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

JSpending ships an update every 7 months, Check Supply every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
