Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: BerkNow at monthly against Northfield Bank's every 4 months. BerkNow also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Northfield Bank's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 58) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Northfield Bank holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Northfield Bank has 2.1K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Northfield Bank's written reviews are positive against 33% of BerkNow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Northfield Bank ships an update every 4 months, BerkNow monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
