Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CoinKeeper at none against iSpending's shown. CoinKeeper also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. iSpending sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CoinKeeper sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CoinKeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 634 and 1.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of iSpending's written reviews are positive against 63% of CoinKeeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iSpending ships an update every 6 months, CoinKeeper every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
