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. Saving Money Challenge sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Pocket Saving asks for nothing beyond the download.
Saving Money Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Saving Money Challenge has 445 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pocket Saving's written reviews are positive against 52% of Saving Money Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
