# Checkbook vs Belfius Mobile

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Belfius Mobile at none against Checkbook's 5. Belfius Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Checkbook's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 1.5K) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Checkbook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Belfius Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Belfius Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkbook has 14K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Checkbook's written reviews are positive against 78% of Belfius Mobile's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
