Both are free to download. Checkbook Register & Ledger sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dino sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dino holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
