================== Recent 5-Star Reviews ================== "Love the simplicity of this app. We don't want to carry cash around but wanted to still utilize the envelope system. This is the best app so far." "I've gone through all the budgeting apps literally at least 30. All of them wanted my bank information, didn't offer digital envelopes, or was just over complicated! I needed an app that I could have 5-10 categories on that was easy to use and didn't require me to put in all my bills and total salary." "Good for people who want a simple way to track and control their spending. Very effective way of seeing what is left to spend. Clean and user-friendly interface." ================== Envy ================== After trying all the popular budgeting apps for years and running into the same issues over and over again.... • Ridiculous subscription models • Continually recategorizing transactions • Security concerns over linking cards and accounts • Complicated graphs and features • Long latency to update recent transactions • Creating login accounts over and over again • Verifying credentials repeatedly ...I created Envy.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Envy at none against Savee's shown. Envy also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (836 vs 1). Savee's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Savee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Envy has 836 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Savee ships an update every 2 months, Envy every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
