A simple, private expense tracker. Log spending in seconds by typing, speaking or asking Siri, set budgets that keep you on track and see exactly where your money goes. No bank login needed. JUST SAY IT Say "Coffee 4.50 and groceries 32 today" and Fineyo AI turns it into transactions with the right categories and accounts. It runs on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence, so what you say never leaves your device. ASK SIRI ABOUT YOUR MONEY "How much did I spend on groceries last month?" "How much is left in my budget?" "What's my net worth?" Siri answers with your real numbers and can add an expense or income hands-free. Works in Spotlight and Shortcuts too. EXPENSES THAT LOG THEMSELVES Ready-made Shortcuts automations record your Apple Pay payments and bank notifications for you, and can save where you paid. Press the Action button or tap the back of your iPhone to add a transaction from anywhere.

SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES One clean dashboard for all your accounts: bank, cards and cash. Charts show trends and your biggest categories, and the spending map shows where you spend. On the 1st of each month, a report tells you what went well, what needs attention and how to do better. An evening summary recaps what you spent today.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fineyo at 5.0 against Control's 4.2. Fineyo also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Control's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 81%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fineyo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Control sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fineyo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Fineyo's written reviews are positive against 96% of Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fineyo ships an update every 4 days, Control every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
