Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Transact eAccounts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transact eAccounts has 49K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of DukeMobile's written reviews are positive against 40% of Transact eAccounts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DukeMobile ships an update every 2 months, Transact eAccounts monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
