Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Checkbook at Free against Budget App's $3.99. Checkbook also leads on chart position (#136 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Budget App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
