Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Checkbook at Free against iCheckBalance's $1.99. Checkbook also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 26). iCheckBalance's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Checkbook is free to download; iCheckBalance costs $1.99 up front. Checkbook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. iCheckBalance asks for nothing beyond the download.
Checkbook holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkbook has 14K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of iCheckBalance's written reviews are positive against 56% of Checkbook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCheckBalance ships an update every 3 months, Checkbook every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
