Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tip Bucket Pro at Free against Easy Spending Budget's $1.99. Tip Bucket Pro also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Easy Spending Budget's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 47%) and chart position (#133 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tip Bucket Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy Spending Budget has 109 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Tip Bucket Pro's written reviews are positive against 71% of Easy Spending Budget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tip Bucket Pro ships an update fortnightly, Easy Spending Budget monthly. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
