# Splitara vs Budget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Splitara at 93% against Budget's 45%. Splitara also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (32 vs 7). Budget's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splitara sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Budget sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Budget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Splitara's written reviews are positive against 45% of Budget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
